It's a long way and over 95 successful years from the Grisanti's on Main across from Central Station. Here is where Mr. Willie and Mrs. Mary Grisanti, and sons Elfo (Frank's Dad) and Big John held forth in a sometimes raucous and a very entertaining way, but always serving Memphians and travelers the fine Northern Italian dishes that are now synonymous with their name. Other fine eateries added to the name and fame include; Grisanti's on Central, Elfo's Behind, Grisanti's at Lamar and Airways and Café Grisanti. All the heritage and gene pooling of these "Great Grisanti's" are deposited here with this third generation restaurateur, Frank Grisanti and his sons, Frank, Jr. and Larkin , and is presented to eager and ardent gourmands at his Embassy Suites and Bol a' Pasta restaurants.
