If the name Obici seems familiar you may have noticed it on Sentara Obici Hospital, the historic Obici House at Sleepy Hole Golf Course, the Obici Healthcare Foundation, the Meridian Obici apartment complex in downtown Suffolk, Obici Industrial Blvd, the Obici-Oderzo Fountain, or even a glass of cold Birra Del Obici at the Nansemond Brewing Station.
But too often, Amedeo Obici, the man whose name they all share. fades into history. A year ago, restauranteurs and Suffolk residents, Brian and Teresa Mullins, aimed to correct that loss when they named their newest North Suffolk ventures Amedeo’s Italian Ristorante and Amedeo’s Bakery.
