TODARO BROTHERS

Wining and Dining > Restaurants, Cafes and Bars

Todaro Bros. traces back to 1917 when it was established as P.Todaro and Co.with the intent of importing and distributing Italian products from Sicily to New York City. After its growing success, the founder persuaded his brothers, Pellegrino and Joseph, to join him. In the early 1920’s it was incorporated and renamed Todaro Brothers and remains a thriving family business today.

The Great Depression was a pivotal turning point for Todaro Bros. when retailing proved to be a more prosperous business situation. Todaro Bros became so successful that their distribution business was put on hold and retail became the main focus. During this time, sons Mario and Luciano started working in the business and at a very young age began developing their own personal style.

Over the years, Pellegrino spent more time back in Italy leaving Mario and Luciano to run Todaro Bros. During the 70’s specialty food stores were thriving and the area was finding a more sophisticated clientele with refined international tastes. In 1979 Mario left to open his own specialty store in a small town upstate leaving Luciano to lead the way into the future, expanding Todaro Bros. into the full service specialty food store that it is today.
