Later they returned to their small town of Montedecoro outside of Naples. In this town their oldest son Clemente DeRosa was raised. He returned to the states in 1946 and joined his father and mother in the business. At this time Clemente introduced Greek and Yugoslavian foods to accommodate the changing community.
