About TED’S

A family restaurant with a fun spirit

A FAMILY TRADITION

Ted Fricano’s father, Cosimo (Gus), was born to Antonio and Phillipena Fricano, both immigrants from Bagheria Sicily, a city located in the province of Palermo, best known for its splendid historic villas and 18th-century palaces.

Gus launched his first Fricano’s Pizza restaurant, soon after purchasing a boarding house in Grand Haven, Michigan in 1949. At that time, no one knew what “P.I.Z.Z.A.” was, but that didn’t last long. The rest was history for the Fricano family, whose thin crust pizza won the hearts of pizza lovers in town and well beyond.

Today, Ted and Jen Fricano, in true entrepreneurial spirit, own seven businesses: Fricano’s Muskegon Lake, Fricano Place, The Hideaway Lounge, The Event Center at Fricano Place, The Fricano’s Sweet Shoppe, TED’S Eatery & Bar in Spring Lake and Fricano’s Manistee River, all under the umbrella of Ted Fricano Adventures. The Fricanos’ children work with their parents, continuing the 75-year-old family’s culinary tradition.

TED FRICANO, ABOUT TED’S EATERY & BAR

Ted Fricano was influenced by his late father, Gus, who had the vision to open the first Fricano’s and introduce the West Michigan community to a unique pizza that would gain a loyal following for 75 years and counting. As an experienced restaurateur himself, Ted’s commitment to sharing his passion for food and providing an inviting atmosphere is in his blood. It all boils down to hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude, which he has shared with his staffs, spanning seven businesses.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Ted’s success inspired him to try something new. He purchased the long-standing Vic’s Restaurant in Spring Lake and established TED’S, a distinctly different restaurant with its own unique fresh, American cuisine that doesn’t feature pizza.

Ted Fricano brings a very special philosophy to his new restaurant. “With the fast pace of everyday modern life and technology, we sometimes forget to enjoy a leisurely conversation, heart-to-heart dialogue with family and friends.” To that point, TED’s décor includes two sets of comfortable and attractive orange chairs by the cozy fireplace, the Orange Chair Experience, where customers can enjoy a drink and small bites, created solely for these conversation areas.

Ted believes that eating good food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere can be the best way to foster good conversation and build stronger bonds with the most important people in our lives. That’s the TED’S philosophy: Talk. Eat. Drink.
