Ciao Pappy

Ciao Pappy is a modern pantry lifestyle brand specializing in marinara sauces inspired by the Italian and California coasts. Our Italifornia® sauces contain no added sugar, no pastes or tomato blends, are non-GMO verified, and use only whole ingredients. The company was launched in 2022 by founder Francesca Pittaluga. Following a 14-year career in fashion, Francesca created Ciao Pappy in honor of her Italian father, his home cooking talents, and her passion for quality food. Ciao Pappy has superior taste and modern packaging to speak to the modern food consumer. To date, Ciao Pappy is carried online and in 225+ retail stores across the United States including premium retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Goop, Farmshop, Gjusta Grocer, and more. In its first year, Ciao Pappy has been recognized in publications such as Goop, Eater, W Magazine, Town & Country, Angeleno Magazine, Shondaland, and Golden State. Each year, the company gives back a percentage of proceeds towards (OATS) Older Adults Technology Services, who’s work helps support the aging community and keeping them connected. Ciao Pappy is creating a new family recipe by modernizing Italian food classics, introducing a fresh Italian-American story, and adding an accent to your pantry staples.
