Giovanni’s of Fairborn was opened 70 years ago by the DiPasquale family, with various brothers taking charge over the years. The last brother who owned it, Louie hadsold their Centerville location Antoni’s and wasn’t pleased with how the new owners changed things. So when he went to sell Giovanni’s in Fairborn he wanted to find a new owner that would honor their traditions. He knew Tony Spaziani from the Sons of Italy, so he trusted him to carry on the business. In the first years of owning the restaurant, Tony only changed the Italian sausage, and then five years in changed the marinara. Tony’s daughter Cassaundra has been running the restaurant for the past ten years, while her father stepped back from the day to day, still stopping in to check on things until his health prevented him and he passed away in August of 2022. Cassundra said she learned a lot from her dad and appreciates that he made her go work for other restaurants before coming back to manage theirs.
She is proud to carry on the tradition of the Italian eatery and is “so appreciative of the support they get from the community of Fairborn, their regulars and most of all our staff.” She’s got a few employees that have worked at the restaurant for over 20 years and multiple staffers that have been there for 10+ years.
