About Stevie's Italian Foods

Decades of Heritage. Modern Supply Chain Reliability.

Stevie's Italian Foods has supplied premium olive oils, pastas, tomato products, and cheese to foodservice distributors and food manufacturers since 1987. Founded by Stephen "Derek" Crifasi, our reputation was built on one core principle: showing up reliably, order after order. We are incredibly grateful for the foundation of trusted vendor relationships he spent a career establishing.

In June 2026, Felicia and Andrew Malby acquired the business through Assisi Fine Foods LLC. We chose this name because it reflects our personal commitment to authentic relationships, honest stewardship, and treating every partner with dignity. We are carrying forward the exact same respected name, product partners, and high standards. You receive the exact same premium ingredients and reliability you've come to expect, now backed by a dedicated, hands-on leadership team operating in good faith. What's changed is who is running it; what hasn't is our commitment to partnerships built to last.
