Favorite Restaurant: “Anything Italian. I’m Italian, so I have a thing for their food.”
Favorite Movie: Gladiator
First Soccer Memory: “My first game, I remember scoring a goal. I was about five years old and it was on a free kick, which at the time seemed, like, so far but it probably only at the 18-yard box. I remember my father having me dribble around the tree in our front yard just to work on my touch.”
Best Soccer Memory: “Coming through college my freshman year (at Seton Hall) I scored a goal 20 seconds into the game against the University of Virginia. It was our first game of the season, my first game of the year, freshman year, we won 1-0 in the first 20 seconds. That sticks with me.”

Thanks for these profiles, Nick! It seems like a few of the guys like Italian food. Tell them to check out Cristino’s in Clearwater for pizza and Cesarina in Largo for their delicatessen needs! Mazzaro’s in St. Pete for deli and Eddie and Sam’s in Tampa for pizza are more well known but still pretty good. Also, Gladiator is great! I found out my wife had never seen it so we ordered On Demand over the weekend. I can’t get enough of that movie!
