About us

It all began on October 12, 1975, when Uncle Freddy (Zio Fraedo in Italian) and Tony LoForte Sr. opened up a little pizza and spaghetti joint - and from that, Zio Fraedo’s was born. 

Decades later, Zio Fraedo's continues to be warm and friendly place to dine with extensive menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We recently began serving breakfast in our dining room & outdoor patio, and have adopted the “Sherry's Kitchen” menu which is Tony Jr.'s wife's restaurant (previously located around the corner from Zio Fraedo's).  

For lunch and dinner, we offer Italian dishes and continental cuisine.  Stop by for light bites at the bar, and hang out with local regulars to hear some stories of the past. We also have a lovely covered patio for you to relax and dine al fresco by our beautiful fountain! 

Zio's takes pride in doing things the old-fashioned way - from our hand-crafted specialty cocktails and Caesar salad dressing, to our delectable house-made Tiramisu and Creme Brûlée! Come and join our family for dining served the way it used to be!
