Our Story
Welcome to Salerno Salumeria! We're Vincent and Francesca Citro, and since 1981, we've had the joy and privilege of serving the Jersey City community with authentic Italian flavors straight from our hearts.
When we first opened our doors over 40 years ago, we had a simple dream: to create a place where everyone could feel at home while enjoying the foods we grew up loving. We brought our expertise in crafting the finest cured meats and cheeses, a skill passed down from our family in Calabria. We also share our treasured recipes, from fresh focaccia to hearty sauces simmered to perfection.
For us, this deli has always been more than just a business. It's an extension of our home and a reflection of our love for food, family, and community. From the very beginning, we've welcomed every customer like family—sharing stories, laughter, and, of course, unforgettable meals.
We've been here through the years, watching Jersey City grow and change, and we couldn't be prouder to remain a part of this vibrant community. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite, stocking up on your favorite Italian staples, or catering a special occasion, we're here to make sure every experience is filled with the same love and care we've put into Salerno Salumeria since day one.
So, from our family to yours, thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives for over four decades. It's been an incredible journey, and we're excited to continue serving you for many more years to come.
