Our Story

Zano’s Italian Market is truly a family run business. Co-owners Tony and Joey are joined by Tony’s wife Olyakare in keeping up the Italian traditions and sharing their mothers’ and grandmother’s recipes that they have enjoyed since childhood. Grandma Francesca is a frequent visitor making sure we are doing her recipes justice. The Crapanzano family has a true passion for Italian food. We use only the freshest ingredients and San Marzano tomatoes. Special orders such as tripe (with potato and peas) are always welcome. We treat our customers like family and are honered when you choose us to cater your special birthday, graduation, or Christening, etc. Come and visit us at Zano’s Italian Market, as soon as you open the door the aroma will remind you of all those Sunday dinners at grandma’s house!!! I should mention Grandpa Tony also visits often (although he cant boil water!!) but loves to eat and reminisce about the old days with the customers, originally from Gravesend Brooklyn and then Staten Island. The Crapanzano family is happy to be at the Jersey Shore, bringing authentic italian cooking to you. Thank you for your patronage, bon appetite!!!
