If you're in the mood for a warm and cozy environment and some authentic Italian food this is the place. It's family owned and family friendly. A true gem in the city of Montebello. Pricing is $ to $$, there's plenty of parking and a private room for celebrations. Owners, Joey & Anthony (brothers) are about the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.

Frumento's is a classic family run deli that has been around since 1958. They have great sandwiches, salads, pastas, soups, panini and subs. You can eat in or order for take out. The cold cuts are quality and you can purchase them or any of the antipasto items at the counter. They have great potato salad, mixed olives giardinara, marinated mushrooms and artichokes - too many options to mention. You need to check out the variety. Love their tuna "tonno" salad which you can get as a sub or served on lettuce. Huge servings! Their pasta dishes are all tasty. The garlicky chicken Alfredo fettuccine is really good and meal comes with a small Caesar salad and THEE best garlic bread. The sandwich combos or "mombo meal" with two sides is a good deal. They also have desserts and a good variety of wine and imported food items. It's fun to look over all the items while you wait for your order (which can be phoned in). Staff is friendly and helpful. So many tempting choices. They offer catering.

This place has been around for a long time and from what I understand is consistently a great place. I was recommended to come here by a co-worker and happened to be near here so I was hopeful. The classic Italian combo sub was well stocked with meat and veggies but the bread was a little too hard for me. Got the olive medley which was excellent. The Lemoncelli was tasty but very, very sweet. I am very picky with Tiramisu and this was not a good one at all. Tasted more like a Tiramisu Cheesecake. Just was lacking something. There are an immense amount of choices here and it is a very popular place located right across the street from the Beverly Hospital. You can dine in or take it "to go". Everything seemed really authentic. I will consider coming back and trying some pasta and a cannoli......

When I first lived in the San Gabriel Valley in the mid 70's, there were many family owned and operated delis and restaurants. As the area has become increasingly Asian, only the best family Italian restaurants and grocers have survived. Frumento's has not increased its square footage, so if you want serious Italian groceries, Claro's on Valley Blvd in San Gabriel would be a better choice. If you want an excellent casual pasta meal, prepared salad, or sandwich, this is your place. Tables now take up more space than grocery shelves.

I have eaten pasta here with red sauce and alfredo sauce at various times. Both excellent This last time I got lunch for myself and some friends-- one of whom is part Italian and very particular about her Italian food. She was very happy with her pasta with Marinara, and my other friend was happy with his torpedo. Half of my sausage and pepper sandwich was enough to satisfy me for lunch. You can get a garden or caesar salad, numerous varieties of antipasto, cole slaw, potato salad, pasta salads as side dishes The deserts -- napoleons, eclairs, and gelato -- look amazing, but I am always so full when I eat here, I haven't tried them.

This is not a fancy place. You get your pasta on a real plate, but sandwiches and salads are served in a wax paper lined basket. Disposable flatware. The food, however, would be not be out of place if served on white cloth table cloths and napkins.

It is best to call ahead to order lunch as their is a hospital across the street, and they are very busy during lunch hours. They will pack just about anything for take-out.
