History
Ippolito's is a casual family-style Italian restaurant located on the outskirts of Atlanta that first opened its doors to the public in May 1989 by a couple originally from Connecticut, George and Toni Ippolito. The first restaurant opened was located in Roswell, Georgia on Holcomb Bridge Road. The owners describe the cuisine as "authentic Italian". After 5 years of serving George and Toni Ippolito expanded their business by opening a restaurant in 1993 in Sandy Springs and another shortly after that in 1994 in the rapidly growing Alpharetta area. Two years later, location number four was opened in Kennesaw located across from Town Center at Cobb on Barrett Parkway. In 2000, once again a new location was opened off Windward Parkway in Alpharetta and finally the sixth restaurant is off Cobb Parkway in Atlanta. After 15 years in its original location, the Roswell store was relocated a mile down the street into a free standing building. The owners also moved the third store in Alpharetta, to Norcross in 2006 and the Lawrenceville-Suwanee location in 2007 to downtown Suwanee where they now have a private party room to accommodate 75 customers. In 2011, Ippolito's opened its seventh location.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
