Karen and Mike co-founded Caffe Alanno in 2023.
“Our purpose in starting the business comes from the passion we share in celebrating the love we have for our Italian heritage shown through cooking. Our family's mission has always been centered around living a healthier lifestyle through the food we
put into our bodies. Not only is granita something we cherish as it keeps us close to our Italian roots, but the creation process is something that aligns with our values as individuals. Our granita is made by hand and crafted with real organic fruit and vegetables. Our mission for Caffe Alanno has always been to portray tradition
with a farm-focused foundation, but the goal is always to provide a
deliciously refreshing, yet healthier treat for all of our customers.”
Alanno is a small town in the Abruzzo region of Italy where Mike's
Grandfather (Nunzio) migrated to America around 1911.
At this time you can only purchase our Granita at the farmers markets in the greater Boston area.
What Is Granita?
Granita is a traditional Sicilian treat typically enjoyed at breakfast with
a brioche. The ingredients consist of a semi frozen fruit or vegetable, water,
and cane sugar mixed into a delicious spoonable consistency. It can be
topped with sweet ricotta, mint, or fruit and is very refreshing!
