About Pierino Frozen Foods
Like any great business, Pierino Frozen Foods began in its simplest form: One personÂ’s dream.
Pierino Guglielmetti was born in Guardia Piemontese in the province of Cosenza in southern Italy, a region renowned for its outstanding regional cuisine. Having earned the coveted degree of Chef from the famous Enalc Institute in Calabria, Pierino and his family immigrated to America, where he became the head chef in a popular Detroit restaurant. Late at night, long after the restaurant closed, Pierino and his wife Ida worked hard in their own kitchen to create the most delicious, wholesome ravioli they could possibly make. Perfecting his recipe, he began to make it available to restaurants and specialty stores throughout the Detroit area.
The great taste of Pierino’s homemade ravioli proved popular – very popular. More and more restaurants turned to him for the “perfect pasta” that he and Ida were making at home, one batch at a time. Pierino quit his restaurant job and opened his own preparation facility in a single storefront, later expanding into a succession of larger buildings as demand for his product grew.
