This dish traveled more than 5,000 miles to get to Tulsa.
Well... sort of.
Rob's grandfather Angelo Aloisio grew up in a small village in Abruzzi, Italy. At 16, he came to America, became a chef and brought something important with him: The family recipes.
Those recipes eventually found their way into the kitchen of the neighborhood Italian restaurant Rob's parents opened in Tulsa in 1969.
So when you see Abruzzi by the Sea on our menu, the name isn't just there because it sounds Italian. It's home.
Shrimp. Scallops. Mussels. Roma tomatoes. Mushroom caps. White wine. Lemon butter. Linguini.
A little taste of where the Aloisio story began—served right here in Brookside.
