Lagomarcino's At East Village Davenport
Lagomarcino’s is so much more than a longstanding Quad City attraction. It’s an American story of family and tradition that has continued for more than hundred years. Angelo Lagomarcino journeyed from northern Italy to New York City in 1896. He worked in New York until 1902 when he returned to Italy to marry Luigia Schenone. The newly-weds returned to the United States after their marriage and settled in Burlington, Iowa. In Burlington, Angelo worked with his brother Carl, in his confectionery near the Burlington Railroad station. While in Burlington, Angelo and Luigia began their family. By 1907 the Lagomarcino’s had two children, Charlie and Mary. Their growing family made Angelo think he should strike off on his own. In early 1908 Angelo found the perfect spot to grow his business – Moline, IL.
