Daniel Pompilio, restaurant founder
Daniel Joseph Pompilio, the last of the founders of Pompilio's Italian restaurant in Newport, died Wednesday of heart failure at age 80.
Mr. Pompilio was a teen-ager when his parents opened Pompilio's with their three sons in 1933.
"My grandmother did most of the cooking. The three boys did the management and the bar. My grandfather was the boss," said Mr. Pompilio's son, Daniel.
The Pompilios ran the restaurant until 1982, when the three sons retired and sold it. The restaurant enjoyed national fame after actors Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman ate there and filmed a scene for the hit film, "Rain Man."
"He (his father) was always able to work with people. Years after they sold the restaurant, employees would keep in touch with him, stopping to visit," Pompilio's son said.
