Truly Magnificent Handcrafted Sauces

Authentic Southern Italian Marinara

From the 1800’s to the early 1900’s, my Italian family immigrated to America from Reggio Calabria in Southern Italy. They brought with them many beautiful traditions and culture. Among them were “Old World” Italian recipes shared with many new friends and family. Today, as the days of old, we continue to honor our heritage as Italian-Americans by crafting a truly authentic marinara. Like my ancestors from Italy to America, we only use the best ingredients available from our local markets. The rest is patience and a pinch of love. Complement your next pasta dish, pizza, or soup with our magnificent marinara brands. Invite loved ones over, pour the vino, reminisce, laugh, and enjoy the taste of Southern Italy as our family has for over 130 years. Like my father, Carmello Zappia said in business, “We Care."
