See What I Ordered In This Video Below, , But that's NOT What made this dining experience wonderful, , , a VERY special waitress DID!
If you've ever eaten at Diccico's Italian Restaurant in Old Town Clovis, , you know the food is good!
So that ends my review on the food.
Now to the highlight of my dining experience at Diccico's Italian Restaurant (in Old Town Clovis, CA)
When Mary Jo Pople came to my table, and asked if I was ready to order, , my first impression was, , , "What a nice lady!"
I had no idea she was 81 years old!
(more about Mary below photo)
(I just had to have my photo taken with this VERY special woman)
I think I've found my new hero!
Mary is truly a wonder woman, and the wonders don't end with her age.
I've learned that Mary is a mother of 8, , , yes I said eight! She has 13 grandchildren, and 24 plus great-grandchildren, and at least one great-great grandchild!
She's a survivor of breast cancer! She was diagnosed back when she was 75 years old. I'd like to add that Mary refused therapy at one point and has been thriving (obviously) ever since!
She has been waitressing for 55 years, and has worked for Diccico's restaurants since their very early days. She worked for 20 years for the location owned by Nick DiCicco. She retired for a period of time to take care of her ailing husband at the time who passed away in 2001. She returned to work for DiCicco's at the Old Town Clovis location in 2006, and has been making people smile ever since!
Mary is also actively involved as a greeter/coordinator of her church (People's Church) in Fresno, CA.
What amazed me with Mary in the short amount of time I had with her at this restaurant ~ is that she clearly cares about people, has a twinkle in her eye, and the most beautiful smile!
Mary's not one to be underestimated either, , , she can carry more plates, than many half her age, , literally glides when she walks, and just has that special ability to light up the room!
I look forward to going back for the food yes, , , but especially to see Mary Jo Pople again!
