The Prosseda Family took ownership of a beloved local Italian restaurant in September 2021. After just over a year of operation, the Prossedas are taking steps to better personalize the establishment. The restaurant, formerly known as The Vineyard, will now be known as The Vineyard Di Norma. The new name reflects family roots while still paying homage to the brand local patrons have grown to know and love.

Previous owners Pietro and Maria DiMatteo sold the restaurant to Matt and Cindy Prosseda after three decades of operation. The Prosseda children, Rachael and Luke, had always yearned to own and run an Italian restaurant, and in 2021 the stars aligned on North Fiot Street in the Fountain Hill neighborhood of Bethlehem. The Prosseda’s Italian heritage traces back to Norma, Italy.
