About

Two Families...Two Countries...Two Friends

Story

Two Italian families immigrated to this country in search of a better life…
Alexander Scagnetti from Codroipo in Northern Italy in 1904 and Michele Sortino from Modica, Sicily in 1952. These men never knew each other, but their families would meet and form a lasting friendship based on mutual respect and an entrepreneurial spirit. George Sortino, son of Michele, and Lynn Middleswarth, husband to Alexander Scagnetti’s granddaughter, have created a strong bond over the years and both share a love of cooking.

The Sortino Brothers have been bringing authentic Sicilian cooking to Sandusky, Ohio since 1952. Their family ristorante, Sortino's Little Italy, has become a local favorite serving up dishes using recipes passed down from generation to generation. Both George and his brother James have first-hand experience using brick ovens in their homes. They felt the community also needed a restaurant which offered the unique flavor and texture this cooking technique brings to food. The Middleswarth family accepted the challenge and, reminiscent of old Italy, The Brick Oven Bistro was born. With a combination of traditional northern Italian and Sicilian taste, George and Lynn created a menu of appetizers, gourmet pizzas and delectable sandwiches which are fired in our brick oven. Youngest son, Shane, transformed the old Howard Johnson’s into a cozy, Italian eatery, while his older brothers, Benjamin and Geoffrey, see to the daily operations. It truly is a family affair. Come join our families, from Italy to the USA…we welcome you not only as patrons, but as friends. Salute!

Great gourmet pizza, sandwiches and salads! Italian inspired fresh ingredients and combinations. Interesting appetizers. Service is outstanding, personal and fast. Not your typical pizza chain. Affordable prices, kids menu- every time I go I see families with kids. Nice party room.

The best pizza I've ever had. Even great the next day in the microwave! Wonderful service every time we dine.

My pizza came out amazing! Cheese sticks and tomato/basil apps were equally as good, but the RANCH, now that's amazing. Ordered a delicious mixed drink and wasn't told they were out of the Graham cracker rim, my friends pizza was unfortunately still doughy. Server offered to throw it back in though so over all 4 star.

Amazing delicious food. Amazing cook and staff, very friendly, I gave the waiter and cook both 10 dollar tips. Good price for the portion of food and quality. Small clean little place. Definitely would recommend their calzones
