Ippolito's Seafood was conceived in 1919 when Guiseppi Ippolito first stepped foot on American soil. Wanting to mix the traditions of his fore-fathers with a touch of the ‘American Dream,’ he started with a seafood push cart. He was inspired to open his own establishment where customers could get the freshest fish at affordable prices and top notch service. In ten years time he saved enough money to turn his dream into a reality and Ippolito's Seafood opened its doors for the first time in 1929.
In the 1970's, Guiseppi's grandson, Sam, took a great interest in the family business. He soon took over and took the business to a new level. Ippolito's began to clean, cook, and prepare seafood for further customer satisfaction. With the help of his mother, wife and Aunt Connie's recipe's, Sam watched in awe as his family's dream came true.
Today Ippolito's has come to be called a landmark Philadelphia institution because we are still committed to providing Guiseppi’s original mission 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 tomorrow. Like the generations before us, we will continue to strive for excellence and perfection.
