Cento Fine Foods Alfred Ciccotelli, Sr. was looking for a reliable supply of Italian staples such as tomatoes, olive oil, pasta, and confections, when he opened Alanric Food Distributors in Philadelphia in 1963. His passion for quality Italian food led him to produce some of the finest tomato and related products under the Cento label. Today, operating just across the Delaware River in Thorofare, NJ, Cento boasts six proprietary labels (Cento, Anna, Bellino, Little Gina's, Ferrara, and La Florentine), distributing over 1,000 Italian food items to supermarkets from coast to coast.
Liscio's Bakery James Liscio opened Liscio's Bakery in 1994 with the help of his family, including his grandmother who is fondly remembered for preserving the family's Old World customs. Liscio's Bakery had become so popular in such a short amount of time that in order to accommodate the demand for their products, James partnered with his dear friend and ingredients supplier Chad Vilotti, whose great-grandfather was one of the first Italian bread bakers in Philadelphia. Today, Liscio's Bakery supplies bread and rolls to the best restaurants, delicatessens, and retail outlets in the mid-Atlantic region. Experience the fine taste of Liscio's baked goods at their two bakery/delis in Washington Township, NJ.
