After 40 years, DaVinci's serves its final meal

DaVinci's Ristorante was a year-old, failing, 40-seat pizza place on a corner of downtown's main two-way street, Greenwich Avenue, when newlyweds Lisa and Tony Vitiello began renting the space in 1966.

The couple started a family as they took over the restaurant, and Tony took up extra work as a chef in Stamford to help pay the bills and keep their business going.
'We were like any young couple starting out,' Lisa recalled yesterday as loyal customers filed into the beloved restaurant, now 125 seats with an extensive menu of Italian cuisine, for the last time.

'Leaving these people is harder than anything. I could have left the day after my husband died 11 years ago. But these people --AOEI don't want to call them 'customers,' because I don't think of them that way --AOEthey started out as strangers who came here for the food, and they've become friends.'

A Greenwich institution The Avenue and East Elm Street, known for its veal parmesan served on the bone, homemade gnocchi and fresh seafood, DaVinci's closed its doors after four decades. A bank will begin renting space in the three-story building that the Vitiellos bought 20 years ago, and could open as soon as next summer.

'It's not that we're leaving out of failure, but at the height of success,' Vitiello said as her long-serving staff uncorked bottles of wine in a bustling, elegant dining room, where natural light brings out the walls' Renaissance Era-like frescoes. 'From a business standpoint, I'm extremely comfortable with the offer we got. But from a personal standpoint, it's more emotional.'

An Italy native who grew up on an island off the coast of Naples and moved to the United States at age 9, two years after her mother died, Vitiello says she'll miss the restaurant's frequenters and staff. But she wants to spend more time with her four kids and six grandchildren: Anthony, 17, Victoria, 13, Joey, 8, Ariana, 7, John, 4 and Sofia Alexandra, three weeks.
