Giuseppe Merone began working at the young age of ten in a restaurant, located in Naples, Italy. He immersed himself in every part of the restaurant business and began experimenting with various recipes. Giuseppe "Joe" Merone loved to cook and would stay up through the night experimenting with his ideas. He had an aspiration to open his own restaurant business.
When he was sixteen a close group of friends invited him to America to visit their restaurant. He was afforded an opportunity to show them his culinary skills; so impressed with his capabilities, they hired him. He was everyone's favorite employee and one day was asked to work in the front of the house. He had a limited knowledge of the English language but with the help of fellow employees and guest, he was able to become proficient in a year.
After mastering all the skills required to run the restaurant, he was more certain that owning his own business was what he was meant to do. With the help of his brothers and the support of family, Buon Appetito began. From there expansion has encompassed multiple locations and a catering business including everything from Weddings, Corporate Events, and Inflight Catering.
As taken from the above narrative, Giuseppe is an incredible man. The life he has built for himself and his family is the epitome of the true American Dream. Giuseppe is very involved with the Sons of Italy and was recently one of the honorees at a dinner hosted by the President of the United States for the One Million dollars he and the Sons of Italy raised for Breast Cancer Research. Giuseppe never fails to stop to help his fellow man regardless of what sacrifice it would mean to himself or his business. He is a shining example of realizing your dreams and using those dreams to give back to those in need.
