Cutaneo established the first Italian-American grocery store in the Sheepshead Bay area. Grandma Cutaneo was an outstanding cook and, along with her son Emilio, began selling prepared hot foods and sandwiches. In 1965, Emilio's son Nicholas and his wife Frances began catering parites for customers who requested their delicious food. In 1978, as their reputation as caterers grew, they moved to larg
er quaters in the Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst area of Brooklyn to accommodate their growing clientele. Since 1978 C&C Catering has opened new locations in Long Island, Staten Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. C&C continues to be operated by Nicholas and Frances and family members John Pallonetti, Peter Young, and Emilio Cutaneo
