Our Story
Passing of the Torch!
Laurie and I opened our first Figlio on Grandview Avenue in 1991 and enjoyed some of the best years of our lives. Creating fabulous food, developing life-long friendships and mentoring many young staff brought us immeasurable joy! And after 33 years of pouring our hearts into Figlio, I realized that there was something that might bring me even more joy — being able to share this feeling with others…

In 2024 I began a conversation with Michael Mott, a longtime Manager at Figlio, regarding each of our long-term professional goals. While our goals were different, we could assist each other in achieving them together. You see, Michael wanted to operate his own Figlio and I wanted to free up time to devote to expanding Figlio into new cities. Sooo… we entered into a Licensing Agreement that allows Michael to operate in Grandview using the Figlio name, recipes, vendor selections — all the things that made Figlio a success. At the same time, we will continue to package our concept and seek other young entrepreneurs who want to operate a Figlio in their hometowns. This was a win-win solution for both of us as we continue to grow personally and professionally. Michael will add his personal touches to the space, but you can be assured of one thing: you will always be able to order Chicken Diablo at Figlio!
Michael and I have enjoyed a wonderful relationship. We have worked together for 35 years! Sometimes I have felt like a boss, sometimes a co-worker, sometimes a mentor — but always a friend. We have helped each other out in innumerable ways for three decades — and I plan to be there for him to offer any guidance or support to allow him to continue to successfully operate Figlio Grandview for many years to come.
The torch in Grandview has been passed on….
For some, a restaurant is just a place to eat. For Michael and his wife Jessie, Figlio is the place their story began.
Michael and Jessie met right here at Figlio back in 1997. They worked side-by-side, shared dinners after shifts, and later brought their children, Max, Lainey, and Cooper, into the fold — raising them in the warmth of the kitchen and dining room.
Figlio has always been more than just a job to them — everyone here is family. And now, as the operators of Figlio Grandview, Michael and Jessie are bringing their full-circle story to life every night, one pasta dish and one crispy pizza crust at a time.
They've made some beautiful updates, but one thing hasn't changed: Figlio is still the place to enjoy delicious food, great wine, and fabulous company!
