Owners Lisa and Angela Roughley always had a dream of opening a Restaurant, their dream finally became somewhat of a reality in 2009, when a restaurant was available for lease in Lanesborough, Ma. Lisa and Angela were planning on naming the restaurant, "La Famiglia" representing the closeness of their tight-knit Italian family. But, on September 5, Lisa's father, and Angela's grandfather, Emilio Ezio Mazzantini passed away. He was only two weeks away from his ninetieth birthday. The family suggested that Lisa re-name the restaurant for her father. The family mutually agreed on the name Ezio's Ristorante, and the rest is history. Ezio's memory and spirit live on at the restaurant, and he know that he would be proud to have such a wonderful establishment named after him. He was a great man and will always be remembered.
