Faro Vitale
came to the United States from Palermo, Sicily, in 1968.
After working in New York, he saved enough money to send
for his wife Serafina, who had remained in Palermo. They
settled in Chicago, where Faro started his cooking career.
In 1980,
Faro and Serafina opened their first restaurant
in downtown Oshkosh. It wasn't long before the word
got out about Faro's cooking. By 1985, they had outgrown
the downtown location and moved to a bigger location
across from the fairgrounds. Since then, the fairgrounds
have been torn down and relocated. In 1998 Faro and
Serafina built their present location at 215 W. Murdock
Avenue.
