Bio
Kassi Nopratvarakorn
George has an amazing knowledge of food and wine and his passion for both truly shows in this incredible business he and his brothers have created. They say "never trust a round pizza" and after tasting their delightful thin crust, i Fratelli has made us skeptical of circular Italian food. This blend of traditional flavors mixed in with relevant marketing is why i Fratelli is so popular in DFW. I had the chance to work with George briefly when launching their website and he's definitely an old pro when it comes to the restaurant game. He knows what works, but he was always willing to seek new opportunities to be innovative. From wine pairing events at the restaurant on Thursday nights or daily Facebook posts and blogging online, George shines at engaging i Fratelli's fan base and keeps them coming back for more.

Oct 2006 - Dec 2013
Every Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 we pair five wines with five tapas, imported cheese, and antipasti to discover varietals we haven't experienced, regions we haven't explored, vintners we never knew, and sometimes brands we know and love. The place is packed and all are smiling with purple teeth. We bring the wine and food to you; no interuptions, no standing in line, no juggling plates and glasses. Just sit and enjoy and we will come around to answer your questions and tell you some stories. Show less

Pet Friend

Oct 2007 - Apr 2012
Every Wednesday in April and Dogtober folks brought their dog (or any pet) to an i Fratelli Pizza location (not the Ristorante & Wine Bar), kissed said dog (to prove he/she enjoyed a good relationship, could get along, and to show he/she is not embarrassed to be with them in public), and we awarded them a free pizza. BAM! The first 50 pets got free pizza, 51 thru whatever still got half-price pizza and a chance to meet like-minded mammals. One pup tilted his head, raised his ears, and said WUF? (where you from?)
