Our "Uncle Joe" moved to the US
from Italy in 1953. That same year he opened a
Restaurant in Lakewood California. It was
the foundation of Fratelli Downtown Grill.
In 1960 our father Juan Soto became the chef and worked
with Joe for many years. In 1988 Joe retired from the restaurant business
and our parents took over. Since we can remember we have lived and
breathed the family business. From very young ages we worked in
Manno's and learned every aspect of the
business. In 2003 they retired and followed us to Florida, leaving the
family Restaurant in good hands with our sister Jeana.
We decided that we needed to bring to Florida what our "Uncle Joe" and our
father brought to California.
We offer great lunch and dinners with our homemade
sauces, fresh ingredients and old family recipes at affordable prices. We
have lunch specials for nearby business men and women that are quick for
that lunch on the run and at dinner you can sit back relax and enjoy the
atmosphere.
We cater to everyone. With our free kids meals for children 10 and under
(with purchase of an adult meal) to our great happy hour and live music we
have something for everyone. Fratelli Downtown Grill is the place to go on
a date, with the family, or just to have a plain old good time.
