Famoso in the News

I love Famoso, says Taya Hawes-Puiu our Guest Blogger this month. Maybe it’s because I love real Italian food inspired by many visits to Italy. Maybe it’s because, when I was in Naples and the Amalfi Coast, I experienced a non-stop succession of “pinch me” moments. Or, perhaps it’s because I’ve had my share of Italian boyfriends. For whatever reason, I am predisposed to authentic, fresh, the-ingredients-speak-for-themselves cooking. And yet, this is only one of the reasons why I love Famoso.

Edmonton really does have a proud history when it comes to launching restaurant chains. Earls/Joey traces its roots to this city. Boston Pizza was birthed in Edmonton. And, Jason Allard, Justin Lussier and Christian Bullock have taken the Famoso vision from its initial location on Jasper Avenue, just a stone’s throw from Earls No. 1, to the national stage.
