Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Alfieri.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Our restaurant is named from our family’s hometown – Saviano, Italy.
In the 1950’s our grandfather, Giacomo, came to live the American Dream. He moved from Saviano, Italy to live in Long Island, New York. He met his wife and started a family, opening their first location in Long Island, New York, named Village Pizza. As business flourished, we moved to a larger location and changed the name to Alfieri Brothers’ Pizzeria. Again, we outgrew the size of the restaurant and relocated to a larger side of the center where we have remained since 1991.
The following year, Saverio Alfieri decided to head south and expand the family business by opening a location in Euless. Since then, Saverio and his two sons, Anthony and Giacomo, have managed to create one of Dallas/Ft. Worth’s best kept secrets.
The Alfieri family has and will continue to serve authentic Italian recipes perfected by Grandma Alfieri herself.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
For the most part our restaurant has built a very vast customer base over a 20-year period. I would say that we have been in great shape because we don’t hire managers. My brother Giacomo and I are the managers and we truly believe nobody can care as much as we do. So we do most of the work ourselves and use the knowledge our father instilled in us at very early ages. We are better men for it.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Savianos Italian Kitchen – what should we know?
We take a lot of pride in being a family business first and foremost. Our customers love our food and our food is special considering that most of the menu items are 100% true to our grandmother’s recipes. What sets us apart from other restaurants other then the food is that customers get US. We make it a point to engage with our customers and I truly believe that people take notice of that and truly enjoy it. Not to mention most of our customers have watched my brother and I grow up through the years.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My father and my uncles (who own and operate in Bohemia in Long Island NY) have set the bar for us as far as how a restaurant should run. Hard work, good service and great food will not go unnoticed.
