The menu at Fratelli, the first local restaurant partnership between DePasquale and Varano, will include brick-oven pizza and calzones, panini sandwiches and burgers, homemade pasta, and grilled meats and seafood. Several of the establishments have roots in the Boston area.įor example, two prominent North End restaurateurs - Frank DePasquale of Bricco and Nick Varano of Strega - are behind Fratelli, which is Italian for “brothers.” (The two previously said that they have been friends for more than 30 years.) The restaurant will seat 135 people off the main gambling floor in the 3 million-square-foot hotel and casino, the Globe’s Mark Arsenault reported last summer.
