Founded by serial food entrepreneur Joe Faro, Tuscan Brands is the culmination of two generations of Italian food artisans. Starting out at his parent’s corner bakery as a child, it was at the University of New Hampshire where Joe’s ambition and original food idea was born.
Over the next 18 years, Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta and Sauces grew from a college business plan to the nation’s largest manufacturer of specialty pasta and sauces. Joseph’s success ultimately led to the sale of the company to Buitoni, a division of Nestle’ Prepared Foods in 2006.
After a brief retirement, Joe’s passion for artisan Italian cuisine led him to the next chapter of his food journey. Tuscan Brands was born in 2010 with the creation of critically acclaimed restaurant Tuscan Kitchen in Salem, NH. Faro’s initial restaurant concept expanded throughout New England with the addition of new concepts such as Tuscan Market, Tuscan Sea Grill & Bar, Toscana Chophouse & Wine Bar, and the Artisan Chef Catering Company.
In 2016, Tuscan Brands acquired the 170 acre property formally known as the Rockingham Park with the vision of transforming it into a 3.8M SF mixed-use super regional destination. Four years later, the development has exploded with national brands such as Mass General Brigham, L.L. Bean, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Marriot Hotels, 1200+ Luxury residences, and over 1M SF of state of the art life science campus space. Joe’s vision has come to life as a destination where people can live, work, stay and play. 
Joe’s latest vision is the Artisan Chef Manufacturing Company. The Tuscan Brands team is currently making major investments in its factories for scratch product capability and automation. As a result, Artisan Chef Manufacturing Co. is on its way to becoming the most diverse quality manufacturing enterprise in America. For more information, please visit www.tuscanbrands.com.
