History

Established in 1993.

My Grandfather, Antonino Ajello, came to the United States from Sorrento, Italy. He opened our business in New York, in 1885, with a shop in the Waldorf Astoria, a shop on 124th Street and a factory in Mamaroneck. In 1935, my mother, Virginia Ajello Reardon, with my Dad, opened the first west coast shop in Beverly Hills, Calif. In 1942 she moved the shop to Westwood Village, near U.C.L.A. Thirty-​seven years later, in 1979, we opened our own building at our present location in Culver City, Calif., where we remain today. My mother passed away in 1994 and I continue to carry on this wonderful tradition with our generations of oh so very special customers.
