Interview with Fieramosca
Description
Interview with Floriana.
Mario Micucci founded Fieramosca in 1980, after immigrating to Canada from Basilicata. Mario’s mission was to share his love for Italian food with Torontonians. He began by selling pizza and panini but as time went on his business expanded into a trattoria. The menu has not changed much over the years as people want their usual dish when they return for their next visit. The most famous dish is the seafood pasta which largely reflects Mario’s hometown in Italy. Many customers that went to the restaurant as children still go to the restaurant as young adults, and much of the clientele is attracted to the establishment through word of mouth. Quality is key to Fieramosca as customers want to have the same quality when they return. Thus, to get the best and consistent products Fieramosca imports some ingredients or makes many by hand such as dough, sausages, and sauce. As restaurants open back up, slowly, Fieramosca hopes to add aperitifs to their offerings.
