Very cool. I always remember the "Boot of Italy" sign that the DiCiccos had, however we rarely went up to the Blackstone restaurant for dining. I seem to recall going to one on Shaw at some point in my childhood. Later, we frequented LaRocca's, Aldo's Pizza, and Popolo's (on N. Blackstone).
I grew up across the street from the DiCicco family for the first 10 years of my life. We grew up in the "New" Fig Garden area close to Bullard and Van Ness Extension. I didn't see too much of Mr. DiCicco, but my older brothers (who were born in the 60s) probably did. I know they were friends with the older kids like Maria and Carlos. The younger boy was of course Pepino. They would play in the street and come over to our lawn. It was always fun seeing the other kids of the neighborhood, and always exciting to have a family meal at DiCiccos!
