Dover Downs officials announced Wednesday that the existing Frankie’s Italian Restaurant will soon become Jerry Longo’s Meatballs & Martinis. Longo’s brand originated in the Historic Federal Hill area in Providence, Rhode Island, where owner Jerry Longo, along with his culinary team, created a menu of “Italian Soul Food”.

Longo restaurants are known to be frequently visited by well-known celebrities, including the legendary Billy Joel, several actors from “The Sopranos,” New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and tight end Rob Gronkowski, actor Richard Jenkins and many more.
