boves history
From Neighborhood Cafe To National Distribution
Our story is the story of America. Our grandparents came over from Italy in 1889 and brought every ounce of their heritage with them. They showed us that it’s possible to feel at home no matter where you are, as long as you’re cooking a big meal together. They opened Bove’s Café in 1941, creating a home away from home for old friends and new neighbors alike.
As successive generations took over the restaurant, the demand for Bove’s expanded beyond what our one neighborhood restaurant could handle. Bove’s dishes were featured on Throwdown! With Bobby Flay, the TODAY show, and the Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate. We decided to expand our business, bottling our sauces and producing meatballs and lasagna for grocery store distribution. Our experience of going from one neighborhood café to national distribution proved that tried and true recipes deserve a tried and true production process. And scaling up should never mean letting down the people who got you there.

What We Bring To The Table
Choosing to take a treasured recipe out into the world is a matter of trust. We aim to earn that trust over and over again. Bring us your recipe and we’ll work with you to go over every detail. We’re lifelong cooks, first and foremost, and we know the value of taking the time to get it right rather than rushing to get it out the door.
Everything we know about translating a homemade product into one that’s ready for supermarket shelves we learned firsthand, by turning our own restaurant’s dishes into market-ready products. At Bove’s, we offer not only our expertise and our state-of-the-art facilities, but also our respect for a great recipe, consistently executed. We believe in creating partnerships that extend far beyond making food together, helping you to forge the distribution relationships that matter.

Let’s talk about what we can make together
“We do more than partner with you to scale your recipe using the freshest and best quality ingredients. We help you make connections that matter. Because the most delicious product won’t mean much if you can’t it get it onto store shelves.”
