A History of Tenuta’s Delicatessen: Four Generations of Family Tradition

In 1920, John N. Tenuta left Italy to seek his fortune in the United States. His dream was to open his own business… and that dream was realized when Tenuta’s Delicatessen opened its doors on April 1st, 1950.

Tenuta’s is a family-run business which started as a small corner store and has been passed down through four generations.
