Rig A Tony’s is inspired by Lisa DeSisto’s passion for family and food–an Italian tradition. As a busy working mom, Lisa saw an opportunity to offer fresh, family-style meals to go. In 2000, she left her corporate job at Bertucci’s and opened the first Rig A’ Tony’s in Derry. Since then, she’s proudly offered authentic Italian takeout and catering meals to the Southern New Hampshire community through multiple locations.

Lisa is a passionate Italian-American business owner with over 30 years’ experience in the restaurant industry. She previously held General Manager and Field Marketing Manager positions at Bertucci’s, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Johnson & Wales University.
