The Canori Story   

How I got here:  I was fortunate enough to have graduated from Franciscan University (Steubenville, Ohio) in three and a half years.  Not long after - in January 1975 - my wife, child and I moved to Southern California.  After six weeks I secured a job with Clairol Haircare Division.    I remained in the corporate world for 30 years, but the more successful I became the more I was asked to travel.  It became too much.  Finally, I decided that I wanted to fulfill my lifetime dream of owning an Italian restaurant.  So, on June 1, 2001, I bought an existing restaurant named Antonucci's Italian Seafood.  Both my parents were Italian immigrants.  My father worked for Pietro DiNovo & Sons as a mechanic; my mother was a cook at Ohio Valley Hospital. My mother always wanted to own an Italian restaurant, so I was fulfilling her dream as well as mine.
