About Us

Our Story

It started with a dream!

Casa Focaccia & Co. is the expansion of an existing successful restaurant business operated by Italian founders Pietro Sangiorgi and Dr. Giulia Burato. The concept focuses on authentic Italian street food. A concept centered around freshly baked focaccia sandwiches, authentic Roman style pinsa, and traditional Italian desserts.

The founders launched an Italian food import business in 2020 and later operated The Curbside Italian Kitchen in Silverton, Oregon. The restaurant earned an outstanding reputation for authentic Italian cuisine and customer service.

The Curbside Italian Kitchen was recognized as a 2024, 2025 and 2026 Winner in the Best of the Willamette Valley Awards. This achievement demonstrates market validation, customer loyalty, and the founders’ ability to operate a successful restaurant business in the United States.

Our vision is simple: bring the quality, authenticity, and culture of Italian street food to one of the most dynamic and influential markets in the world.

What We Believe

Three rules we don't bend

01 Slow dough

Our focaccia and pinsa rest for 48 hours in cold fermentation. It is why the crumb is light and the crust shatters.

02 Honest sourcing

Prosciutto di Parma, Bronte pistachio, Pecorino Romano and Parmigiano Reggiano — alongside produce from California growers.

03 Street food manners

Wrapped in paper, eaten standing, no ceremony. Good food should be quick without ever being rushed.
