pasta for the people
Chef Tony and the team love what they do and believe homemade restaurant-quality pasta shouldn’t have to be a luxury. We maintain the highest expectations for ingredients and craftsmanship to provide a show stopping meal you won't believe you made at home.

Meet our founder
Chef Tony Quartaro’s culinary journey began at age 8 making meatballs and gnocchi at home with his grandmother. You could say that’s when his love for Italian food started to grow roots. Working in award-winning restaurants in San Francisco, NYC, and Chicago, Tony created his vision for Gemma Foods and his desire to bring restaurant quality Italian food to the family dinner table.
