History

Our father, Antonio Ciaccia and our grandparents Nonna Maria & Nonno Antonio Ciaccia opened the first Ciaccia's International Importers of Fine Foods in 1962 at Bull's Head Plaza in Rochester, NY. This business was the first in the area to make submarine sandwiches from fresh bakery bread and Italian deli meats as well as the first to import products from Italy, such as Nutella, San Pellegrino Mineral Water, and specialty Pastas.

They opened many more Ciaccia stores in the Rochester area which later Antonio Ciaccia(our father) sold  to interested families who also wanted to bring good food and products to the locals and have a good life while supporting their families.  I think this will be our father's legacy.

This location at -183 Lee Road in Gates, NY was opened in 1968! We (daughters; Ines, Stephanie, Annemarie) take pride owning and working our parent's business.

We thank you all for your patronage:)
