Varallo's
Restaurant in Tennessee, USA
Varallo's is the oldest continuously-operating restaurant in Tennessee, founded as a chili parlor by Frank Varallo Sr. in 1907.[1] From 1994 to 1998, there were two locations. Frank Varallo Jr. took over from his father in 1929, and a second Varallo's was opened by his two grandsons, Todd and Tony Varallo, near the entrance to the Nashville Arcade on Fourth Avenue. Frank Varallo Jr. closed his Church Street location upon his retirement in 1998, at the age of 85.[2]
