Our Story
Massimo's Italian Restaurant has been a beloved institution in Fremont, California, since 1976. Our story begins with William Massimo Rinetti, who founded the restaurant and brought his passion for Italian cuisine to the Bay Area. With a deep appreciation for the rich culinary traditions of Italy, Bill Rinetti dedicated himself to creating a fine dining experience that would rival the great Restaurants of Italy. Every dish was crafted with the finest ingredients, careful preparation, and attention to detail. Over the years, Massimo's has remained a family-owned and operated business, with Bill's son, Bill Jr., at the helm. Today, we continue to build on the legacy of our founder, with a commitment to excellence and a passion for serving our guests the finest Italian cuisine.
