Philosophy
Pro’s Epicurean Market & Café is the epitome of passion for food, family and celebration. Growing up in an Italian family in the ‘70’s in NY, the focus was always family, life and food. Meals were always at the table and were always at least an hour long sharing the day’s experiences and the great homemade meals my mother made daily. Mom would never allow a tv on or a tv dinner. Holiday meals were epic 10-12-hour marathons with extended family with multiple courses; antipasti, pasta, meat and fish courses, vegetables, starches, all paired with wines and then of course endless varieties of nuts, fruits, confections, desserts, pastries and espresso and coffee. All generations sat at the table, the older at the head of the table to the younger children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at the other end. Through the years, your position slowly moved toward the head of the table; good for you, not so good for the previous tenant. The cooks changed through the years, holding onto the favorite recipes while introducing new ones. Traditions of food, stories, songs, laughter and love were all shared at the table and have carried on from generation to generation to this day. It is truly the seams of our family fabric that we all share. Be it a holiday, a baptism, a birthday, wedding, graduation, any good excuse for a party, the family came together as one to celebrate family and life, and of course food!
