Tuscan Brands was founded in 2010 by entrepreneur Joe Faro, with its roots in Tuscan Kitchen in Salem, New Hampshire, and a history shaped by Italian food artisans and hospitality. The company has grown into a culinary and lifestyle business centered on Italian dining, market retail, catering, private events, and boutique hotel offerings. Its brands include Tuscan Kitchen, Tuscan Market, and The Artisan Hotel, while related concepts such as Toscana Italian Chophouse & Wine Bar, Tuscan Sea Grill, and Artisan Chef Catering Company broaden the company’s reach across food service and hospitality.
