The Cicero Italian Restaurant was founded by Anthony Tanaglia in 1947 in Cicero, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. He built the business with his family from a small pizza and pasta restaurant to 10 locations in the Chicago area. Michael Tanaglia, Anthony’s grandson, moved to Arizona to escape the cold Chicago winters and opened a restaurant in the Chandler area. The Arizona restaurant gained momentum thanks to the Chicago-style pizza and quality Italian dishes. Anthony decided to expand operations in Arizona, adding a second location in Glendale. The Glendale location was managed by Michael’s son Tony.
