Sogno Toscano 85th LLC Arcadia

Tracing our company’s roots back to where it all started, Pietro Brembilla & Brian Persico became best friends at seven years old and grew up in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany, Italy. The little town of Bolgheri to be precise. Pietro had just relocated from northern Italy and Brian from Ireland where he spent a year with his maternal parents. They had an immediate bond as they were a bit “different” than the other kids and that bond turned out to be forever friendship. They later moved to NYC in 2006.

Pietro’s family owned a beautiful estate in Bolgheri Tuscany, they imported the top-quality olive oil and went restaurant to restaurant trying to sell it. Thanks to labeling themselves bottle by bottle with the restaurant’s logo in their one-bedroom apartment, they could offer no minimums for orders, separating themselves from the competition and making it inviting for restaurants to give them a shot. It was a SUCCESS.

Pietro’s father later invested in the two young kids as the great visionary business man that he is, and now Sogno Toscano - Tuscan Dream has 10 distribution centers around the US. We supply America’s best chefs, deliver to households all over the country, and own lifestyle cafés and showrooms to share the best that Italy has to offer to the American market. Pietro & Brian are still best friends and closer than ever as they evolve in their professional and personal lives.

“If you wonder why we called the company Sogno Toscano, well, let me tell you about this crazy dream we had in 2006 then you tell me if there can be a more appropriate name”.
