Introduction
Mamma mia! Here we go again! Not just a movie, but a phrase you will want to repeat every other day after trying the food at Clappers Restaurant. Serving up authentic Italian cuisine, this gem in the heart of Los Santos will leave your mouth watering with joy every time you walk by. Owned and operated by Larry Wrzosek and Jon Purmineli, Clappers restaurant provides fun, memorable service, with the customers always at the forefront of everything they do. The San Andreas State Government is wanting to highlight the services and experiences that this central business in our community provides and make the public more aware of the resources available for all their dining and entertainment needs.
The Owner
Larry Wrzosek is the type of person you meet once and just never forget the warm and welcoming smile they bring ever again. Starting off as a humble cook at Mirror Park Tavern in 2019, Larry took advantage of the legalization of hunting throughout the state, using it as an opportunity to drive up business by providing a one of a kind experience, and it was a complete success. It was at this time that Larry found his love for cooking and wanted to serve the people of Los Santos by starting his own restaurant. Larry went on to found The Sandbar in the summer of 2020, one of the first full food service restaurants in the State. However with a space that only allowed small events to be hosted and provide catering services, The Sandbar found itself in a position unable to grow and expand and ultimately closed in the fall of 2021. However no success story is without faults, and at the end of the day, this is certainly a success story. With the introduction of property requests through the Government, a little encouragement from his friends Jacqueline and Chad, as well as some support from Lewis Langley and Tyrone Cox, Larry had the opportunity to start a new journey when he acquired Clappers Restaurant.
The Business
What started off as an empty interior soon turned into the unique space that truly makes Clappers stand out. With the help of an old-friend and now co-owner Jon Purmineli, who had always been there to support Larry throughout his endeavors, Larry and Jon built out the initial dining room and bar with a unique flare: arches. After spending 30 hours working on building an arched ceiling over the bar, Larry and Jon thought they were done with arches for the rest of their lives. That said, the arch, in their words, looked “sick,” and the next day Jon came back and convinced Larry to create several booths with arched inlets giving the space one of it’s most iconic features.
But what's a restaurant without some fantastic food? Well thankfully we won’t have to find out because Clappers has got you covered with that. With a menu full of authentic pasta, steak, seafood, and of course pizza, there is something for everyone to enjoy at Clappers.

More Than Just a Restaurant
An incredible space with incredible food, what more could you ask for out of a restaurant? How about one where the food and service comes to wherever you are? Perhaps you’ve not been to Clappers restaurant, in which case you really should go, but fortunately you might have already had a taste of the place through the catering services they provide. Clappers catering has been at several prominent events throughout the summer including the SASG Beach BBQ Party just a few weeks ago. Speaking from experience, it was amazing.
