Owners Melissa Degiorgi and Andrea Stefano

It all began in the early 1940’s, when our grandfather Erminio Stefano bought some land in Casamassella, a beautiful small town in Puglia, “the heel” of Italy. From this land, he made wine, grew vegetables, and baked delicious pastries. This baking became the family’s main business for years to come.

The business was passed to his son, Antonio Stefano, who grew it from local to regional and branded it with the name “Vigne Vecchie”, which translates to “the old vineyard”. Following in his fathers footsteps, Antonio also opened a bakery.

Many years later, Antonio’s sons, Erminio and Andrea, decided to expand the brand internationally, and spread their message of authenticity, quality, and elegance; traits that connect with their Italian heritage. In 2018, they opened their own American company “VV Just Italian” selling quality Italian food directly to consumers.

Inspired by our grandfather’s bakery and Italian culture, VV The Italian Experience was created. Not just a cafe, not just a restaurant, but an experience that is authentically and truly Italian.
