Meet Thomas Mancuso from Dio Mio Desserts. By day he is an Assistant Principal working with older teens aspiring to obtain their High School Equivalency Diplomas, by night he is a doting and loving husband and father, and a budding baker.
When the pandemic had a choke hold over the world, Tom went into the kitchen to recreate his childhood- to be with his loved ones (in spirit) and be at peace with no stress in the world.
What he creates in his kitchen is magic.
While opening a brick and mortar cafe has always been a dream, Covid made Tom realize that now is the time to establish the brand and foot traffic to support his retirement vision.
When life hands you lemons…. the birth of a sweet pivot born from a sour note… will be a recurring feature putting a spotlight on those who take a chance and make lemonade when life hands them lemons.
