Eva Varallo is the widow of Frank Varallo, Jr., who managed Varallo’s restaurant until he retired in 1998 at the age of 86. (Frank Jr. passed away September 2008.) Todd Varallo, under his grandfather’s guidance, opened Varallo’s Restaurant on 4th Avenue North in 1993 and continues to run Nashville’s oldest restaurant. “We are honored that Senator Henry and Mayor Dean have chosen to rec- ognize Varallo’s restaurant,” comments Todd Varallo. “The Senator had been a customer of my grandfather’s when Varallo’s was on Church Street. Mayor Karl Dean was also a customer at the time; of course, he wasn’t the mayor then. Both continue to patronize our restaurant on 4th Avenue North and we appreciate their visits. Founded in 1907 by Frank Jr.’s father, Varallo’s Restaurant is world-known for its “three-way chili”. Three-way is a combination of the famous Varallo Todd Varallo teaches Mayor Dean and Senator Henry how to dish it up!
