Drago restaurants
The Drago family has owned and operated some of the most famous high-end Italian restaurants in Los Angeles, California, since the 1980s.[2] The family includes four brothers:Tanino, Calogero, Celestino,[3] and Giacomino.[4] Giacomino is co-owner of 11 Los Angeles restaurants—including Beverly Hills' iconic Il Pastaio and Via Alloro,[5] and referred to as the scion of the family's restaurant businesses.[6] Celestino Drago immigrated to Los Angeles from Sicily in the mid-1970s, and held his first job with Osteria Romana Orsini on Pico Boulevard as a chef before leaving to launch Celestino, "his seminal Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills (now defunct but re-created in Pasadena under the same name)".Celestino parted ways with investor Art Vella in 1991.
