Di Pilla's Italian Restaurant was founded in 1967 by Tonino and Giuseppina Di Pilla using their family recipes from back home in Italy. Tonino and Giuseppina arrived in America in 1958, from Pacentro, a small village in the province of Abruzzo, Italy. They started the restaurant in Rosemead while raising their three young daughters, Claudia, Franca, and Diana. Today, they are the proud grandparents of 12 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.
