The Grisanti Family has had many successful restaurants in the Memphis area since David’s grandfather, Rinaldo, immigrated from Lucca, Italy as a young man and opened the first market in 1909. As the youngest son of Big John Grisanti, David grew up in the Original Grisanti’s Restaurant on Airways and Lamar where he developed a passion for fine Italian cuisine. In the last couple of years, David has been working for his cousin, Judd, at Ronnie Grisanti’s in the Sheffield Antique Mall and developing a bond with the customers in Collierville. Judd’s recent move to Regalia has given David the opportunity to open his own restaurant at Sheffield’s and continue to fill the need for a Grisanti’s restaurant in the Collierville area.
