OUR STORY / ROOTED IN REDONDO

The ocean brought us here.
You keep us here.

One family. One remarkable spot on the pier. A tradition that began in 1952.

From the water.
For the people.

Anthony A. Trutanich—Tony—grew up in San Pedro. After serving as a World War II navigator, he worked as a commercial fisherman.

In 1952, he traded long days at sea for a small restaurant on the pier. The work didn’t get easier. But something lasting had begun.

Old Tony’s remains family owned and operated, with the Pacific outside its windows and a warm welcome at the door.
