Sergio Sciancalepore (pronounced Shank-la-por)
Co-Owner
Sergio grew up in an Italian household in Secaucus, NJ. Raised by Italian immigrant parents, he was brought up working in their specialty stores in Jersey City and Lyndhurst.
Here he learned the art of making mozzarella, learning family recipes, and helping customers. Sergio spent years working in wholesale Italian provisions, continuing to learn and expand his product knowledge.
In 1999 he opened his own store in Denville called Sergio & Co and has truly left a huge impact on the community. The hallmarks have become his famous mozzarella, the huge sandwiches, and Sergio’s kind and generous spirit for over 20 years.
