Marion and Andrea Petruzzi came all the way from Italy to create their restaurant, DiVino Ristorante Italiano, in North Augusta. The couple came to North Augusta in part because Marion's father lives there. "In Italy now, it's very difficult to have a business," Andrea said. "So we decided to try here."

They decided to open DiVino mainly because of Andrea's experience in the restaurant business. "We thought it was good for a creative business because there wasn't really anything authentic here," Marion said. "We wanted to bring something here as European as we are, so we thought it was a great idea."
