In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of the Failure Is Knowledge podcast, I sit down with Gino Tiozzo, owner of the legendary Donatello Italian restaurant in Tampa, Florida.
For over 40 years, Donatello has been more than a restaurant; it’s been a home, a place of tradition, and a gathering spot for everyone from local families to global celebrities and four-star generals.
We discuss the lessons Gino learned from his father, Guido, the sacrifices behind building a successful family business, the importance of genuine hospitality, and how consistency and adaptability have kept Donatello thriving across decades.
✨ Topics Covered:
-How Gino’s father instilled lifelong values of respect and service
-The power of building relationships in business
-Why hospitality is more than just good service
-Adapting to change without losing your identity
-Real stories from hosting Magic Johnson, Drake, Yogi Berra & more
-What Failure Is Knowledge means to Gino after 40 years in business
