Andrea and Rosa Zanotto left Italy after WWII with 5 children and settled temporarily in Venezuela while awaiting immigration papers to the United States. In 1955 they arrived in the United States with 10 children and with the arrival of 3 more children became proud citizens of the United States in 1962. The food business had the appeal of providing work for their large family as well as providing food for the table. Smaller stores led to the establishment of our Naglee Ave. store in 1976. Andrea and Rosa set the example of always working hard and never sacrificing their integrity while always providing their customers with great products and service. Their example is with us today as three generations of Zanottos strive to keep their customers happy and coming back.
Chapter Two
Troy and Patty Tibbils met in their youth as employees at Zanottos, and are now our partners in our Willow Glen, Express, and Sunnyvale locations. Our families are both passionate about quality ingredients and sharing them with our family and the people around us. We work hard in our stores to provide unique and quality ingredients that are sourced locally as well as items that are from around the world.
Food and family together around the table makes every day special.
