SINCE 1925

The actual word 'Tramezzino' was invented by Gabriele D'Annunzio as a replacement for the English word "sandwich", being easier to pronounce and a completely Italian term (albeit a neologism). "Tramezzino" sounds like "in-between", with the addition of the diminutive suffix "-ino"products from the local farmers. The “invention” of the tramezzini belong to Angela De Michelis Nebiolo of Caffè Mulassano in Piazza Castello in Turin which, in 1925, invented this Italian version of its English relative, the small tea soft sandwiches made to be consumed in a couple of bites per hour with some tea. The Venetian Tramezzino distinguishes itself by the belly, yes.. correct it must have a belly filled with tasty, quality ingredients, BUT mainly our fantastic Venetian bread!

A Tramezzino (singular for Tramezzini) is way different from other white bread crustless sandwiches, starting from the bread that contains NO sugar, NO animal fats, NO dairy and NO preservatives and it has to be made in Veneto and YES! YES! YES! Venice food is that good! Filippo Paccagnella an Architect and Massimiliano Paccagnella a restaurant manager both from Venice, Italy started the company in late 2015 as one of several sandwich shops at  Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, becoming the very first food startup to specialize in Venetian soft sandwiches in NYC. Davide Pedon, our honorary co-founder and friend, joined us in late 2016 as a partner supporting our passion for this very traditional Venetian delicatessen!
