365 Things to Do & Places to Go in the Charlotte Metro Area – Fran’s Filling Station
Fran Scibelli, the owner of Fran’s Filling Station, has been active in Charlotte’s culinary scene since 1994. Her first restaurant, the Metropolitan Café, is a big hit in the Uptown area. Her second venture, Charlotte’s first artisan bakery, the Metropolitan Bakery was closed as Fran set her focus on a full-scale restaurant, providing eclectic dishes designed to satisfy both ‘grazers’ and hearty diners.
Fran, a former Washington, DC criminal defense attorney, has a passion for food and hospitality. Her farm-to-table concept, eclectic dishes, prepared from scratch and her impeccable hospitality, served up by the entire staff, has become a mainstay in the Dilworth community.
