DUMONT, NJ (November 14, 2022)

 

Most know the Gigante brothers as social media influencers on TIKTOK, @vincentgigantee, @antoniogigantee & @vitoandniyah, but they are Italian Jersey Boys at heart, and are bringing an authentic taste of Italy to Dumont, NJ this November.  In the signature words of boxer/influencer Vincent, you won’t “Forget It”!

​

  “We are excited to show Dumont our family faves & hope to offer a modern twist on old school Italian cuisine in our brand new space!” said Vincent. In addition to traditional Italian fare, Da Mimmo will offer brick oven pizza from a wood burning oven, homemade mozzarella, and pastries made on site! 

Da Mimmo, which means “From Mimmo”, is named after the Gigantes’  great uncle, Dominic Rizzi.  Rizzi was a chef for many years at Casa Dante in Jersey City, as well as the Valley Regency in Montclair.  Rizzi passed away in 2016 after a long battle with Cancer.  The boys’ father, Vito Gigante and Rizzi dreamt of opening a restaurant together.  This is the Gigantes’  way of paying homage to their uncle. Da Mimmo is definitely a family affair, with help from parents Vito and Melissa Gigante, as well as Roberto Paradiso, a family friend and owner of Paradiso Deli in Moonachie.

​

Da Mimmo also plans to be involved in supporting the community and the school district by hosting events in partnership with different entities.  “It is important for us to invest in the community we serve.  We look forward to creating an environment where people feel like they are at home.” added Gigante. 

 

Da Mimmo hopes to open their doors on November 22nd and the Grand Opening celebration will take place on December 4th, where “la familia” will all be on hand.  Thanksgiving reservations are already being taken.
