Interview with Frank and Franco from Tesoro Caffe Bar

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

“A good majority of our customer base that we’re friends with now and we see everyday is people we barely knew and now they’re close friends. 80% of my regular customers will be there. We’re a close knit group. Italian café is ritual and driven by that. You can have the same person come at eight in the morning then come at 12 and then come again at three and then again at eight or nine for dinner or a drink in the evening.”
-Frank Santoro

“We have a very loyal following here.”
-Franco Maione

Frank and Franco came to know each other through high school and have been close ever since then. Since opening Tesoro Caffe Bar, the friendship between the two of them has helped make the restaurant a success. Customers soon feel like family in the relaxed ambience, created by positive customer rapport as well as the sense of humor maintained by staff. Tesoro has the “relax, put your feet up,” kind of atmosphere that is uniquely Italian.
