Item Description

Dining Certificate of $25 for Angelo Pietro in Honolulu

The story behind Angelo Pietro reads a bit like the Japanese version of our own American dream.  A man with a big passion for Italian cuisine, Pietro Founder Kunihiko Murata followed his heart and opened a small Italian pasta restaurant in 1980 in his hometown of Fukuoka, in south-western Japan. He quickly learned that Japanese food lovers shared his passion for the flavors of Italy. One restaurant became two, then four, and within a few years, Murata was running a successful chain of over 60 Angelo Pietro restaurants throughout Japan.

The hugely popular Angelo Pietro salad dressings began as a humble sideline to the pasta business. “We cook our pastas to order and that takes about 10 minutes,” said Mr. Murata. “To keep our patrons happy, we created the idea of an Italian vinaigrette with Japanese flavors to accompany a small salad and vegetables as a start. Customers loved it, but most importantly, children loved it.” As the story goes, parents noticed that children would eat their salads and vegetables – but only with Pietro’s special dressing.
