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

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.
