Where we come from: The Roots of Buon Cibo
Buon Cibo Italian Specialties isn't just a name—it's a legacy seasoned with sea salt from Porticello, Sicily, and simmered in the vibrant flavors of San Diego's Little Italy.
Our story begins with the Tarantino family, when Pietro Tarantino and Gaetano D'Acquisto set sail for San Diego in the early 1900s. These intrepid Sicilian fishermen didn't just bring their nets; they carried with them the rich culinary traditions that would eventually give birth to Buon Cibo.
Fast forward to today, where Tom Tarantino, grandson of these pioneering spirits, has transformed his family's passion for authentic Italian fare into San Diego's newest culinary destination. Buon Cibo—"good food" in Italian—is more than just a specialty store and deli. It's where time-honored recipes meet modern innovation, where the warmth of a Sicilian kitchen embraces the cool California vibe.
From our show-stopping 8" sandwiches (because yes, size does matter) to our carefully curated selection of imported delicacies, every offering at Buon Cibo is a tribute to our roots and a nod to the future of Italian cuisine in America.
Nestled in the heart of Scripps Ranch, where the Tarantino family has called home for over four decades, Buon Cibo invites you to be part of our continuing story. Come taste the flavors that have journeyed across oceans and generations to land on your plate.
At Buon Cibo, we're not just serving food—we're serving history, passion, and a slice of the good life. Because here, good food always equals good mood. Benvenuti!
