At Fratelli’s Delicatessen, we believe food brings people together. Inspired by cherished family recipes and the warmth of Sunday dinners with Nan, we set out to share authentic flavors and create something special for our community. “Fratelli,” meaning “brothers” in Italian, reflects our family roots and values of tradition, connection, and togetherness. Founded by Shannon and Dave Thomas, with Chefs RJ and Tyler Cancel, we blend the rich traditions of classic delis with fresh ideas, using premium ingredients, house-made meats. and freshly baked bread sourced from trusted local bakeries.
Rooted in Dave’s Chicago upbringing and Shannon, RJ, and Tyler’s New York heritage, Fratelli’s brings the vibrant flavors of hometown delis with the warmth of home. Guided by love, hard work, and the memory of RJ and Tyler’s late mom, Kim, we’re more than just a deli—we’re a family-run business inspired by those who shaped us. Her spirit guides us every day as we create meaningful connections through every meal we serve.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, enjoying a family dinner, or catering your next celebration, we’re honored to be part of your story. At Fratelli’s, every meal is an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and create moments that matter. Thank you for being part of our story.
With Love, Team Meatball
