SALUTING THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF ITALIAN AMERICANS!

We noticed that Italian American culture was beginning to be overlooked across the nation, especially in California. So we wanted to remind people of the great contributions that Italian Americans have made to this country by filling a void in the fast causual food segment, offering vintage Italian American homestyle cooking.

We want to proudly represent the rich culture of Italian Americans by serving fast food that is homemade and using the highest quality ingredients and cooking methods. 

At the same time because of  our Love of Country and Patriotism, 'The Fighting Italian' name and logo are a tribute to the vintage Italian American fighting spirit, best represented by the men of the 'Greatest Generation', and of Italian heritage, who not only fought valiantly inside the ring, but also outside it when they served our country proudly by enlisting in the U.S. Military.

Some of those fighters include:

Fred Apostoli, U.S. Navy
Rocky Marciano, U.S. Army
Carmen Basilio, U.S. Marine Corps
Willie Pep, U.S. Army and U.S. Navy
Atillio 'Rocky' Castellani, U.S. Marine Corps
Luigi d'Ambrosio, U.S. Coast Guard

Li Salutiamo!
