History

Tramezzini NYC was founded and managed by two Italian brothers, Filippo Paccagnella and Massimiliano Paccagnella, who thought of the idea in 2015. ^{[9] [10]} Prior to starting Tramezzini NYC, Filippo Paccagnella was an architect and designer. ^[11] Both grew up in Pianiga, a small village in Veneto, Italy. ^[12]

In 2016, Tramezzini NYC debuted as a vendor at Smorgasburg, ^[13] a popular street food fair with multiple locations in New York and Brooklyn. ^{[11] [14] [15]} They became known for importing authentic bread and ingredients from Veneto, Italy.

Davide Pedon joined the owners as honorary co-founder in 2017, and they opened the first Tramezzini shop in USA ^[10] In May 2019, Tramezzini NYC was invited to the NYC Food Fair in Osaka where they introduced Venetian sandwiches for the first time in Japan. ^{[14] [16]}
