Marin Restaurant Cooks Up Ukraine Relief Aid

FAIRFAX, CA — At Fradelizio’s in Fairfax, you can savor northern Italian delicacies made with locally sourced ingredients and sip curated wines blends in a uniquely unpretentious setting.

Or if you’re short on time, you can just get your chicken parmesan to go.

Either way, for a limited time, you’ll get to enjoy upscale eats while providing relief to victims of the conflict of our time.

The popular Italian restaurant’s owner is pledging to donate all sales in the next four days to a group that’s contributing to the Ukraine relief effort.

“The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine has touched my wife and my family greatly,” Paul Fradelizio told Patch.

“We felt compelled to help.”

The restaurant’s proceeds on all sales through Sunday will go to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit led by renowned Chef José Andrés that’s preparing meals by the millions to Ukrainian families displaced by Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked attack on the Eastern European nation.

WCK has provided tens of millions of nutritious meals to communities around the world since its 2010 inception, according to the group’s website.

Fradelizio is also selling peace signs handmade from old oak wine barrels, with all proceeds going to WCK.

“Chef José Andrés is an amazing guy, we have been supporting him for years,” Fradelizio said.

“The work that World Central Kitchen does to bring food to people in time of crisis is extremely important to me. He has done this all over the world for the past ten years.”

Fradelizio’s in Fairfax is located at 35 Broadway.
