James’ son, Matt Lanza, grew up in the business, eating great food and hanging around in the restaurants. Matt was eager to make a life for himself in the restaurant biz, so he helped open Cali St. Pete in 2005. By staying true to the family mission of nourishing people with food and love, we redefined success as profits with a purpose. Our profits are shared with our people, reinvested into sustainability initiatives and educating our community, and donated to local charities.
