Tiano's Italian Restaurant

Tiano’s is the lifelong dream of both Chef Vittorio Tiano and his wife Caterina.

Having come to Central Florida on vacation from his hometown of Naples, Vittorio fell in love with the laid back atmosphere, the people, the community of New Smyrna Beach and his true love, Caterina.

He made a monumental and life changing decision to call New Smyrna Beach his home and turned his vacation into a permanent one. Vittorio met Caterina while working in her family’s long standing and successful Italian restaurant Ce La Luna in Edgewater. They began a whirlwind romance and then married.

Caterina and Vittorio were both raised in the restaurant industry, and both had goals of one day owning their own establishment. The idea of spending their wedding money to open Tiano’s might sound odd for some, but for these two the decision was not only ideal, but the most logical step in their future together.
