A
Proud History
“Over 50 Years of Quality and Service” |
| |
 In
early 1948, Emanuele D'Amico rented a brownstone storefront at
number 309 Court Street in Brooklyn, New York - and a tradition of
quality
and service began.
With a big,
old-fashioned machine Emanuele blended and roasted the finest coffee
beans, and their rich aroma spilled out into the neighborhood. The
fragrance drew customers in and they found the little store pleasant
and warm. Soon imported olive oils, canned goods, spices and cheese
joined the sacks of coffee beans that lined the walls, and D'Amico
Foods became a Carroll Gardens landmark.
 With
Emanuele's passing , his son Frank continued to expand the business
by creating a successful mail order catalog that offers all of
D'Amico's quality coffees and Gourmet foods. Frank - now in his
seventies - still works in the store and is very active in its
day-to-day business. The D'Amico Foods tradition continues, the
coffee is still roasted at the store, and the same rich taste and
quality continues, assured by a new generation of master roasters.
 Today,
Frank's son, Frank D'Amico Jr. runs the business, and along with his
wife Joan, they continue to capitalize on its success, expanding the
product line and mail order business by building a very successful
website and online store “www.damicofoods.com”.
