History

T. Marzetti started out as an Italian restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, started by the couple of Teresa and Joseph Marzetti, recent Italian immigrants, in 1896. Teresa's opening credo was:

"We will start a new place and serve good food. At a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but we will serve good food." [3]

Marzetti's became a local favorite especially among Ohio State University students, and grew to become a four star restaurant. Customers particularly enjoyed Teresa's Johnny Marzetti, a pasta dish named for her brother-in-law, as well as her homemade salad dressings. By 1955, Marzetti's upstairs kitchen of the restaurant became a full-scale factory, and the Marzetti brand of salad dressings found its way into grocery stores throughout Ohio. By the late 1960's, the company built a dressing production plant in Columbus' Clintonville neighborhood on Indianola Avenue. After Teresa Marzetti's death in 1972, the restaurant closed, but the company and factory have continued on to this day.

Today, the company has expanded its operations at other plants including two additional plants in Columbus, Ohio, as well as in Horse Cave, Kentucky and Milpitas, California.
