As a young boy, he learned by watching and helping his mother prepare\u00a0family meals. The care she put into the meals she served was as sure a sign of love as a\u00a0hug or a kiss, inspiring young Eddie to do the same. He took pride in recipes handed\u00a0down through generations as well as the family\u2019s annual tradition of canning fresh\u00a0tomatoes, making wine and preparing sopressata. Eddie has taken these old world\u00a0lessons and adapted them to his kitchen adding his own unique style. The pleasure and\u00a0joy Eddie receives from seeing the faces of happy and satisfied customers is surpassed\u00a0only by the love he feels for his wife, Joanne and their two wonderful sons, Francesco\u00a0and Gianluca.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_team_member et_pb_team_member_1 clearfix  et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_team_member_image et-waypoint et_pb_animation_off  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fratellibronx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Anthony.jpg\" alt=\"Anthony Margiotta\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_team_member_description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Anthony Margiotta<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"et_pb_member_position\">Manager<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div><p>I poured my first drink at 7 years old. I was behind my grandfather\u2019s basement bar in the Bronx on a summer Sunday afternoon. While he cooked, I served Coca Colas to everyone who came up to the four-stool fixture. WCBS-FM on the radio and the Yankees on the TV. As I stood behind the \u201cstick,\u201d I familiarized myself with dozens of bottles tiered on three shelves. Bright signs advertising the popular beers and spirits dating back to the 1940\u2019s illuminated the dimly lit area while mirror ads hung on the back wall.<\/p>\n<p>Eight years later I got my first restaurant job as a busboy and soon found myself behind the stick again (a much larger one than grandpa\u2019s) only this time serving cocktails and mixed drinks along with those Coca Colas. Who would have guessed for the next 30 plus years I would be somehow involved in the restaurant\/bar industry?<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago I joined the family owned team at Fratelli, a classic neighborhood Italian restaurant. I brought years of service experience as well as neighborhood familiarity to an instantly popular business. Soon after afforded the opportunity to assume management roles, I have had the pleasure of continuing to serve our loyal and new patrons from several Bronx and nearby suburban communities for the past 12 years. I look forward to meeting you next time you\u2019re in the neighborhood.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_4 et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_cta_0 et_pb_promo  et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_promo_description\"><h2 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Call to Reserve Your Table Today<\/h2><div><p>Join us at Fratelli to savor the rich flavors of our cherished family recipes.
