Mimma Lopiccolo, who previously owned Anna’s Pizza in Hampton before selling it her youngest son, owns the restaurant along with her son Sal Lopiccolo. Mimma’s knack for the restaurant business comes from years of experience in the industry. The Lopiccolo family, which included Mimma’s father, uncle, and brother, opened their first restaurant on the Peninsula in 1970. She also owned Joe and Mimma’s, which closed in June 2016 and was originally named after her and her brother. Mimma came out of retirement to open Sal and Mimma’s with her son and the duo run the restaurant together.
Sal & Mimma’s Italian Restaurant offers authentic Sicilian Italian dishes along with a variety of American options.
