Vanelli’s Bistro
Own or work here?
When Demetrios decided to name his restaurant he asked himself, “Who’s going to buy a pizza from a Greek named Kapenekas?”. So, he decided to name his restaurant Vanelli’s and ever since has been known as Papa Vanelli.
In 1978 his two sons, Bill and John joined him in the restaurant business. In 1991 Papa and his sons built a larger restaurant on North Gloster Street in Tupelo, MS where they served fine Greek & Italian cuisine for many years, until the building was destroyed by a tornado in 2014.
Vanelli’s Bistro is the third incarnation of Vanelli’s, and is now open in historic Downtown Tupelo!
OPA!
