Questions remain about Fertitta's qualifications to serve as an ambassador to Italy, particularly since he's never served in public office.
Tilman Fertitta has shown significant support for Trump, giving $420,000 to PACs backing Trump and hosting multiple fundraisers for the president-elect.
During a discussion at the White House, Trump praised Fertitta, calling him 'a friend of mine for a long time' and complimented his restaurant industry impact.
Fertitta's Italian connections include family heritage from Sicily and ownership of La Griglia, an Italian restaurant located in Houston.
