Little Italy Restaurante

Ian Caleb Demello 1984-2026.
Ian came to us as a delivery driver, dishwasher, cook 24 years ago. Here he met and later married our oldest daughter and gave us two beautiful grandchildren.
He was a very talented individual who could build, machine or repair almost anything. He wore his heart on his sleeve, always had his arms available for a warm embrace and could laugh at the drop of a hat.
There was a memorial held in Kenai this last Saturday where all his surviving 9 siblings, his mother, relatives, our family and friends met to remember him.
For those unaware or unable to attend (myself included) we will gather again tomorrow at 2pm at Creekside Church 2201 S Knik Goose Bay Road in Wasilla at 2pm to honor him and his legacy. I hope to see you there. PJ

Before or after shoveling your driveway.....forget making dinner. You are cold. You are tired. Come on down, relax and enjoy a hot and hearty meal....warm up.

It's not on the menu, but considering the cold (as well as how many people are feeling poorly) Chef is offering Caccitore tonight! Order it mild, medium or hot depending on your taste. True winter comfort food, trust me!

Sisters who became mothers, mothers in law, grandmothers…all dining tonight as one granddaughter helped serve them in this place! What an honor to be an establishment that hosts family events of note.
Tonight was one of those nights. The sisters have made Little Italy Restaurante their holiday event space now for a couple of years and we are so honored! And the fact that two of the grandchildren have worked/ are working here now makes it all the more special!
We love our Alaskan family!!!
