Ippolito's Seafood was conceived in 1919 when Guiseppi Ippolito stepped foot on American soil. He wanted to mix the traditions of his fore-fathers with a touch of the "American Dream." Starting with a push cart, he was inspired to open his own establishment where customers could get the freshest fish, great service, and affordable prices. In ten years time he saved enough money to turn his dream into a reality. Ippolito's Seafood opened it's first store in 1929.

In the 1970's, Guiseppi's grandson, Sam, found a great interest in the family business. He soon took over and added a new fundamental to the concept "cutting edge ideas." Ippolito's began to clean, cook, and prepare seafood for further customer satisfaction. With the help of his mother, wife and Aunt Connie's recipes, Sam watched in awe as his family's dream came true.

Today Ippolito's has come to be called a Philadelphia institution, because we continue to insure high quality, top priority service at the most affordable prices.

The next generation of the Ippolito family is ready to take Ippolito's Seafood into the future. We will continue to strive for excellence and perfection.
