The Italian Couple Who Came to New Jersey for Their American Dream

Meet Giancarlo and Veronica Palazzone, the Italian couple behind two of northern New Jersey's beloved Italian eateries.

Veronica and Giancarlo Palazzone.

Veronica and Giancarlo Palazzone.

Giancarlo and Veronica Palazzone are the husband-and-wife duo behind northern New Jersey’s Palazzone 1960, located in Wayne, and Palazzone Pastry Lab in Little Falls. These successful establishments represent the couple's American dream come to life.

I had the pleasure of visiting both Palazzone locations and speaking with the couple from Abruzzo about their story. I also had the opportunity to enjoy their delicious food.
