Mark DiPaola emails, “I’m working now at Caffe Bravo with my dad, John DiPaola, who founded the traditional Italian restaurant in the quaint East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, Conn., in 1994. The restaurant focuses on dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients, using simple cooking techniques, all inspired by my father’s hometown in Campania, Italy. After working at AT&T for five years, I returned to New Haven in 2014. Since rejoining the family business, I have initiated several marketing and expansion projects, including participating in New Haven’s Restaurant Week and remodeling the restaurant’s beautiful outdoor dining area.”
