Our Story

Karen and Mike co-founded Caffe Alanno in 2023.

“Our purpose in starting the business comes from the passion we share in celebrating the love we have for our Italian heritage shown through cooking. Our family's mission has always been centered around living a healthier lifestyle through the food we put into our bodies. Not only is granita something we cherish as it keeps us close to our Italian roots, but the creation process is something that aligns with our values as individuals. Our granita is made by hand and crafted with all-natural fruit and vegetables. Our mission for Caffe Alanno has always been to portray tradition with a farm-focused foundation, and the goal is always to provide a delicious and refreshing treat for all of our customers.”

Our Italian Roots

ALANNO is a small town in the ABRUZZO region of Southern Italy where Mike's Grandfather (Nunzio) migrated to America in 1911.

SALINA is a small island off of northern SICILY where Karen's grandfather (Giovanni) migrated to America the same year as Mike's family; 1911

During the turn of the century, a majority of Italians migrated to America fleeing poverty in Southern Italy and Sicily, making the 1900's - 1910's a common historical timeframe for many Italian-American families.
