Owning and operating a restaurant is nothing new for Giuseppe Cinque. Cinque, now owner of Strada Gastrobar, first started in the restaurant business while still living in Naples, Italy. With his latest venture, he has turned his attention to Milford, a place he now calls home.

"I grew up near Napoli, a very touristic city, so I was around restaurants my entire life," he said. "I worked part-time in very high-end restaurants, and through this profession, I worked in different countries — Northern Italy, Germany, Austria, and England. And I came to the United States to be a wine waiter over 20 years ago."
