The name Lo Sfizio comes from a popular term used in Naples, Italy. Sfizio refers to a whim or fancy, something one can’t resist nor help but desire. This is the feeling the restaurant wishes to evoke as they serve authentic Italian street food to patrons.

The 1,800-square foot Lo Sfizio seats about 50 diners. “We wanted to bring a new flavor to Parsippany,” says Giuseppina Spinosa, who hails from Naples, Italy. She owns the restaurant with her husband, Sergio Capdevielle. The couple currently live in Montclair with their son.
