DePasquale and Varano North End Dynasties Merge for Everett Casino Venture | Eater Boston

"I learned that Frank DePasquale of DePasquale Ventures and Nick Varano of the Varano Group are teaming up to open an Italian restaurant called Fratelli within the Encore Boston Harbor resort in Everett; the name—Italian for "brothers"—signals the merger of two North End restaurant dynasties and is not to be confused with the Frattaroli family. The 5,200-square-foot space will seat 135 people just off the main gambling floor and will serve Italian classics, including brick-oven pizza, calzones, house-made pasta, and entrees such as lobster fra diavolo, veal Milanese, and gnocchi alla Sorrentina, and it will be one of 13 dining and lounge options in the complex." - Dana Hatic
