Donate to Aid Piccolo Staff in Time of Need

Hello, my name is Steve Darpino, and I'm the owner of Piccolo Italian Restaurant in Nixa, Missouri.

Recently, a terrible accident occurred at our restaurant — a car crashed into the side of the building, causing significant

damage. Due to the extent of the repairs needed, we've been forced to remain closed for the entire month of July, with several more weeks of construction still ahead.

Unfortunately, this means that our amazing team of employees has been unable to work since the accident. While we've just learned that they're eligible for

unemployment benefits, those payments have not yet begun - and in the meantime, the bills are piling up.

Many of our staff members have families and children to support. Others are college students working hard to pay their rent, cover their tuition, and afford basic necessities like groceries and gas These are dedicated people who help create the warm, welcoming experience our guests have come to know and love at Piccolo.

If you're able to give anything at all, your support will go directly to helping these employees through this unexpected hardship. Every dollar will help cover essential expenses during this time of uncertainty.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. We can't wait to open our doors again and welcome you back with open arms

- but in the meantime, we're so grateful for your help.

With gratitude,

Steve D’Arpino & the Piccolo Team
