Vincenzo's, Company

It has been over 4 decades since Vincenzo and Rita Caccioppoli opened up a small business in their home on Bridgeport Road, Waterloo, called: Italian Canadian Foods. In 1967, because of Vincenzo's longing and passion for the fine foods of his homeland, he started selling various foods primarily to the small Italian Community in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Vincenzo's goal was to keep prices low and provide excellent customer service. It wasn't long before word spread about the small store, and Vincenzo was soon bringing in many new foods from other Mediterranean countries for his new customers. Soon, the store needed to grow and in 1992 the business was moved to 740 Belmont Ave. in Kitchener. In honour of Vincenzo, (who passed away that year) the business was renamed to: Vincenzo's Fine Foods. Today Vincenzo's is known locally for having the best sandwiches in town. They carry a wide selection of olive oils, vinegars, homemade pasta, olives, deli meats, cheese and their famous "Artichoke Caponata". Vincenzo's carries a wide selection of homemade specialities, such as homemade pasta, sauces and pasta dishes always in the tradition and committment of using only the best and freshest ingredients in everything made on the premises. At Vincenzo's you can also find rare and difficult to find products from around the world and plus a wide selection of Gluten Free and Diabetic items. Vincenzo's new location also includes a Butcher, Flower Shop, Seafood, Sushibar, Gelato Bar and Cafe Vincenzo's selection of imported foods has changed and grown over the past 4 decades, but the commitment to quality has been constant. As in the tradition of Vincenzo Caccioppoli sons Tony and Carmine continue to offer the finest gourmet foods from Italy and the Mediterranean, at reasonable prices, with excellent service.
