Giovanni Spinosa, co-owner of Don Giovanni and Pizza Pazza in Port Orange, has opened his third restaurant — this time in Ormond Beach. Spinosa opened his first restaurant shortly after arriving in the U.S. 11 years ago, hoping to bring a piece of his life back home in Italy here to the States.

Serving pizza, pasta, salads and more, Spinosa describes his restaurants as a place to connect — a place where he is able to keep alive the recipes that his own family used when they gathered together every Sunday back in Italy.
