Frances and Gaetano Giuliano's goal was to bring the tradition of classic Italian cuisine to southern California. In 1952, Giuliano's in Gardena opened its doors for the first time, presenting only the now famous torpedo sandwich.

As the years passed, Frances & Gaetano's ambitious vision of preparing everything fresh had been achieved.  Whether it's potato salad, spaghetti sauce, eclairs, cookies, meatballs or sausage.

Mr. & Mrs. Giuliano made sure it was fresh and inexpensive.

Now, almost 70 years later, Giuliano's in Gardena is the only Giuliano's that features multiple generations of Frances & Gaetano's descendants.

Open 362 days a year (except Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day) and satisfying thousands of hungry people daily, Giuliano's heads into their next 70 years of proudly serving the people in Southern California and beyond.
