Uncle Frank Ardovino
Frank Ardovino, an Italian immigrant, served in the U.S. Cavalry and was stationed in El Paso. He was a fan of the finer things in life and enjoyed entertaining people. In 1949 he opened Ardovino’s Roadside Inn, a fine dining and gambling establishment for high rollers, in what was then called Anapra. By the time of his death in 1973 the place was run down and closed. Decades later his grandniece, Marina Ardovino and her brother Robert restored the historic property. Today, Ardovino’s Desert Crossing is an homage to Uncle Frank. Memorabilia and artifacts from years past adorn the walls. Forgotten spaces throughout the property are now fertile gardens, and products from local, family owned farms are used whenever possible.
