Manicaretti Italian Food Importers acts as an importer and wholesaler of premium Italian foods, supplying retailers and restaurants across the United States. The company works directly with artisans who preserve regional culinary traditions, and it extends its offerings through Friends of Manicaretti to include artisanal products from France, Spain, and beyond. Founded in 1988 by Rolando Beramendi, it is based in Oakland, California. Its customers are retailers and foodservice operators seeking authentic Italian flavors and direct-from-producer sourcing. Manicaretti positions itself within the food and beverage services industry as a conduit for culturally rooted products and ongoing portfolio expansion to reflect current tastes. A recent development is the September 2022 launch of Friends of Manicaretti, led by Kitty Keller, to broaden sourcing.
