The story of Federici’s Family Restaurant began in 1921, when Frank and Ester Federici purchased the Wolcott Hotel in the heart of downtown Freehold, New Jersey. They made it their home, welcoming boarders and building a foundation rooted in hospitality. In 1932, with the end of Prohibition, they secured a liquor license and expanded their vision – transforming the hotel into a bar and restaurant that would soon become a local favorite.

By 1946, Ester had brought the next generation into the fold, inviting her sons Frank and Dante to join the family business. Together, they perfected the signature thin-crust, brick-oven pizza that remains the hallmark of every Federici’s restaurant to this day.  As the years passed, the family’s commitment to quality and hospitality only deepened. All of Frank and Dante’s children worked in the original Freehold restaurant, helping to carry the torch. In 1983, the third generation began expanding the family business when Frank’s eldest daughter, Margee, and her husband, Pat Hansen, opened Federici’s South in Howell, NJ. In 1998, Frankie Federici and his wife, MaryLynn, continued the legacy with the opening of Frankie Fed’s in Freehold. The tradition carried on in 2014, when the third and fourth generations came together to open Federici’s on 10th in Belmar, NJ.

Today, Federici’s on 10th proudly upholds the family’s century-long legacy of exceptional food and heartfelt service – four generations and still going strong. We’re honored to share our table with you and thank you for letting our family serve your family!
