History of Gianna’s Catering
Phyllis Nolfi originally started Gianna’s Catering in 2004, in Lowellville, Ohio, but had been cooking for others for years before. “I originally served my food through the concession stand at the Lowellville High School football games, where people started to notice my cooking. In fact, many people, who were not even football fans, came to get take-out orders before the game.” She was encouraged by many to open her own catering business. So, in 2004, “Gianna’s Catering” was born. Phyllis originally worked through area churches, using their kitchen facilities, and slowly building her reputation. In 2008, she purchased the former Gino’s Restaurant building on East Water Street, in the heart of Lowellville, from where she has been operating since.
When asked about the name of her business, Mrs. Nolfi, with a smile on her face, shared that it was named after her only daughter, Gianna. She jokes, Gianna said that “you can have my name, but that’s all that I’m giving you”, as she wanted no part of the catering business.
Phyllis is quick to credit the core group of ladies who started with her and those who have stayed with her for all these years. The reputation for excellent food and service has kept Gianna’s busy for these many years, with little need for advertising. But Phyllis with her expanding family (including 14 grandchildren), wanted to spend more time with them, and their many activities. She and her husband, Tony, with agreement from their business partners, Leslie and Mike Piccirillo, sold the business to Brian and Kristen Yemma in the summer of 2018.
