At DiMartino’s restaurant, the owners still use the same Muffuletta recipe made famous by their ancestors. Peter DiMartino, the founder, grew up in a family deeply rooted in the open market tradition of New Orleans. His grandfather sold meat, his mother sold produce, and his father sold fish, instilling in him a passion for quality food and friendly service. In 1975, after a career in the corporate world, Peter opened DiMartino’s, a five-table restaurant in an out-of-the-way location, featuring Muffulettas and po-boy sandwiches. From day one, DiMartino’s was a success. Today, DiMartino’s operates three fast-casual restaurants on the Westbank and one full-service concept in Covington, continuing a legacy of quality food and service that dates back generations.
