History
Lucchesi's Ravioli and Pasta Company was the product of Vince Lucchesi and his son Pat, premiering in the Memphis market in 1990. Vince and Pat grew up in a traditional Italian family, and as with all Italian families, food was the center of gatherings. These meals always featured signature recipes that have been passed down for generations, starting with grandparents who moved to America from Italy years ago. Vince and Pat Lucchesi were in the retail business until 1999. It was that year when Michael Robilio, Michael Gabrielleschi, and Alex Canepari purchased the store. After taking ownership, Michael, Michael, and Alex wanted to grow Lucchesi's to be an even better asset to Memphis. They introduced many new products to store, including a delicatessen, for customers to enjoy fresh sandwiches and Italian entrees. They also introduced take-n-bake pizza, the first in Memphis to do so, as well as signature imported cheeses all the way from Italy.
