ABOUT US

In the 1950’s Tony Vasaturo left Naples, Italy with his two brothers. Landing in New York, Tony began his American dream. So was born, Vesuvio Foods, named for the highest  peak in southern Italy.

Tony did what he knew best. Coming from a strong tradition to ethnic Italian foods, Vesuvio Foods provided dairy products to pizzerias in the Brooklyn area. As his customers grew to expect Tony’s excellent service, they began to tell their friends and families. The company grew under Tony’s watchful eye and in 1972, added grocery items to the dairy products, becoming a "One Stop Shop", for Italian foods.
