A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT PORFIRIO'S ITALIAN MARKET & CAFE
In 1964, Chef John Porfirio
left the restaurant world and started making fresh pasta to sell to his
neighbors in the Italian section of Trenton, Chambersburg. Along with making
fresh pasta he added traditional Italian dishes, lasagna, eggplant parmigiana,
meatballs, and sauces. Porfirio's
Italian Foods became a staple in the neighborhood. Our ravioli, manicotti,
stuffed shells, gnocchi, and cavatelli were on tables every Sunday and soon our
specialties were on tables any day of the week. As we could foresee the less
time in the kitchen life our store added a full line of imported products from
Italy, cheeses, meats, oils, vinegars, candies, cookies and plenty of canned
goods for the at home cook. As the third generation started, Porfirio's
starting selling to many local restaurants. Keeping wholesale in Trenton, and
making the retail a priority, a second store was opened in 2002 in Hamilton.
This bright new Italian Market added prepared foods along with a full deli
section and an expanded line of Italian products. There is an espresso bar and
a quaint cafe to relax and imagine an afternoon in Italy!!
