A Taste of Love: Rosie and Josie's Culinary Legacy Lives on

Picture it, Siderno, 1950s. Two determined young girls, Rose Diano and Josephine 'Pina' Commisso, waving a cheerful "arrivederci" to their Italian roots, ready to set sail on a fresh adventure in the snowy embrace of Schreiber, Ontario.

Their story unfolds as they begin working at the ’Spaghetti House' together. With a pinch of this and a dash of that, they melded their skills and hearts, crafting flavours so exquisite that any Nonna would beam with pride.

With dreams that knew no bounds, Rosie and Josie dared to dream bigger. They quickly took the plunge into creating their own taste of Italia, right here in Schreiber. The world took notice, showering awards and accolades like confetti. Their homemade sauce, pasta and pies became the epitome of pure amore and comfort.

Fuelled by an unyielding passion, their journey captured the interest of global media, landing them a spot on an episode of 'The Scattering of Seeds.' Notably, their story also graced the pages of esteemed publications like Canadian Geographic and the Chicago Tribune, who reverently portrayed them as champions of the having “the best Italian food in Canada”.

In 1991, the reins of this culinary haven were embraced solely by Pina, who fearlessly carried forward the torch of their legacy. Her determination and passion ensured that the flame ignited by Rosie and Josie continued to burn bright.

Today, that legacy lives on - a torch passed from one generation to another.
