Joe Talarico

Joe Talarico is the President of Joey’s Authentic Italian. He was born and raised in Utica, NY. The last 30 years of his career were spent in sales/marketing. Food has always been a staple in his upbringing. Italians have a love and passion for food. After many family vacations he realized the quality Italian food he was able to get at any store back home wasn’t readily available in many other locations. An idea was born… Joe decided to bring his family recipe from his kitchen table to the kitchen tables of people all over the southeastern United States.

Angela Talarico

Angela is Joey’s oldest child and is Vice President of Joey’s Authentic Italian. She has over 10 years of sales/marketing experience. Angela is always close to her family… whether it’s a celebration or a Sunday dinner, you’ll find Angela alongside her parents and siblings. When the idea for Joey’s developed, she was all-in. The opportunity to work side by side with her family and bring a product she truly believes in to other families became her mission. She is passionate about quality, labeling and only using the best ingredients. If she won’t eat it herself, she won’t sell it.
