A Look Back Into Our Journey

For over five decades, Elio Importing Limited has been at the forefront of introducing the richness of Italian delights to Canada. Founded on a deep-rooted love for Italian culture and gastronomy, our journey began with the dreams of our late co-founder, Elio Da Re.

The Mission

With nothing but a suitcase and a heart full of passion, our founder, Elio, arrived in Canada from Italy, embarking on a culinary adventure that started with a humble pizzeria in Hamilton. This endeavour was more than a mere business; it was a mission to share the exquisite flavours of Italy with Canadians. From these humble beginnings, Elio Importing Limited was born, a testament to Elio's vision of delivering the finest Italian food products to tables across Canada.

Continuing the Tradition

Today, Elio's legacy flourishes under the stewardship of his daughter, Michelle, alongside her children, Matthew and Rachel, who proudly continue to weave the tapestry of Italian culinary tradition into the fabric of Canadian dining. Our selection, from sumptuous gelato to artisanal bakery delights, showcases our commitment to quality.
