ABOUT LISA
Lisa Ribaudo was introduced to wine by her Italian grandfather, Antonio Ribaudo. While Papa Tony made wine in the basement of his Detroit home, the Ribaudo siblings would be like glue to his side, enthusiastically crushing grapes with their feet. In actuality - they were creating quite a mess – but it was in this quaint Detroit wine cellar that Lisa‘s love of the vine was first cultivated.
It came as no surprise to the Ribaudo family when Lisa left a family business to enter the food and beverage industry. The year was 1990, when entrepreneur Joe Vicari opened his first Italian restaurant in Warren, Michigan. What originally began as a part time job for Lisa quickly blossomed as the Andiamo business grew into multiple locations across metro Detroit. Fast forward over 3- decades, Lisa remains with the Vicari group, in the role of Corporate Sommelier.
