AUSTRALIA
The Parramatta branch was the Winner 2011 / 2012 for Casual Restaurant & Family Dining at the Entertainment Gold Awards
Frank Criniti ’ s parents grew up in Italy before migrating to Australia in the 1960s , where they continued the tradition of having a vegetable garden in the back yard and making everything they ate the traditional way . An abundance of tomatoes meant napoletana sauce was prepared daily . Just like those family meals from the early days in Australia , food preparation and preservation remain
central to the Criniti philosophy of establishing traditional Italian eateries . This Italophilia is reflected in the décor at the eight Criniti ’ s restaurants in New South Wales and Victoria , with the original Parramatta site featuring a Ducati motorbike on the bar as well as a portrait of possibly the world ’ s most famous Italian-American , Frank Sinatra . Similar touches can also be found in the chain ’ s other locations .
