Americo Volpe emigrated from Italy in 1915.

In 1981 Americo passed on and then in 1984 his son Robert took over operations of the family business and made it into the Lehigh Valley landmark it is today.<\/p>\n<h2>Today<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"imgr\" src=\"https:\/\/volpessportsbar.com\/allentown\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bob-volpe.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"188\" title=\"\"> Volpe\u2019s Sports Bar remains a local family business now involving Robert\u2019s three children Mike, Fran and Robin, who each play a big part in continuing to grow the business and build on their Grandfather\u2019s creation.
