Our Story

Our family life always revolved around the dinner table. It was there that a great appreciation of simple Sicilian cuisine became rooted in them. Their house was always open to many friends and family. On Sundays and Holidays, Nonna Rosa, would cook up a feast. They all just sat together, enjoyed each other and talked and laughed while they were “feeding their faces.” Our matriarch Giovanna, who hales from Cefalu Sicily, married Albert Blattermann, a neighborhood “boy” and because they wanted to instill an ethnic cultural life style in their children, they stayed and raised them in Little Italy. Until 2016, our family was the only family with 4 generations still living in Little Italy. It was the desire to share our Sicilian heritage and Sicilian cuisine that prompted the family to buy an older neighborhood diner. Giovanna along with her daughter Gia Fracassetti created a new, warm, comfortable Italian restaurant in Baltimore’s Little Italy. At Cafe Gia, we strived very hard to recreate a Sicilian bistro, a place where one feels like they are in Sicily while dining. Our walls and tables are embraced with hand painted colorful murals while the exterior echoes an old Sicilian bistro. We have created a little bit of Italy with fresh, delicious Italian food and friendly service. My daughter and partner Gia Fracassetti and son in law, Executive Chef Gianfranco Fracassetti, and I welcome you to our ristorante to experience a true trip to Italia via Piccola Italia. Buon Appetito! Buon Divertamento!
