In 1919 Gregorio Garofolo came over from Italy
to begin his American dream...
He rented a basement, put in his coal stoves,
and sprinkled saw dust on the floor.
With his knowldge of creating homemade wines,
and his passion for cooking, Gregorio's dream began....
The name ..."Puglia" a region in Southern Italy,
from which he immigrated.
People came from far, to indulge in the delicacies Gregorio
prepared. Capuzzello (sheepshead), Tripe (the lining of the
stomach of a young ox),Pasta E Fagioli (pasta and beans),
but what they loved the most was the way he treated
everyone like his own family.
Today with his 3rd generation carrying on the
recipes and the values he taught them.
Gregorio is smiling....
All of us at Puglia, thank you
for making Gregorio's dream a reality.
Buona Sera
