Father and son duo, Jimmy and Dante Alario invited Marcus Lemonis to their Italian restaurant, Dante’s Italian Cuisine, to help them rebuild their failing business from the bottom up. After an initially profitable first year, Dante’s is continuing to lose money year over year as neither Dante or Jimmy have food service management experience and know how to properly manage their business.

In order to be successful moving forward, they must learn how to analyze and manage their financial decisions (including what is cost-effective to keep on their menu), completely renovate their space and learn to repair their strained relationship with each.
