About Zio Fraedo’s

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... More

★★★★★ 5.0 Joan Cesca · Jan 2026

The food was absolutely superb—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Our server was attentive without being intrusive and made sure our every need was taken care of throughout the meal. The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy good company. Portions were generous, leaving us more than satisfied. An all-around excellent dining experience, and we look forward to returning.

We had a birthday gathering with family and we all couldn’t stop saying how wonderful the food and service were! Excellent food and Ramon and servers were very attentive. They greeted us with warmth and smiles. Throughout the night their hospitality made us feel very welcomed. We will be going back! Thank you Zio Fraedo’s for an amazing dinner!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sylvette Ortiz · Nov 2025

Thanksgiving Day dinner- had a lovely time out with my partner but the restaurant was very disappointing. They failed us & many others. Not enough staff! Disorganized. Overcommitted-under delivered. We're not the only ones who said 'we're not doing this again'. With reservations for 5pm, we're seated past 6pm. Had to flag a waiter to take our orders. Waited another hr for food! Appetizer: good; Salad: mediocre iceberg w bottle vinagrette; Dinner: mashed potatoes clearly tasted made from a box, sweet potatoes tasted & looked like the canned ones, rinsed to remove that candied syrup, gravy tasted from an envelope. No coffee. This was $50pp plus 20% 'service charge' imposed!.

Great location. The bartender Buzz was very nice and always checked on us. Food was amazing with big portions. Try the Lumpia! Its amazing. They even have a private room for events. Check them out!

Quite possibly the best Italian restaurant in the state. We travel and always try Italian. Exceptional service to start. Nice selection of wines. We went with a Frank Family Cab. Ordered the Almond Crusted Halibut. Just wow! Your choice of soup or salad. Lovely desserts to choose from. Spumoni is our favorite.
