Our History

Raised as a first-generation Italian-American John Livoti was brought up by two immigrant parents that moved to America when they were 18. Mr. Livoti’s passion for food came from his Italian culture. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Mr. Livoti started in the food service industry at the young age of 10, sweeping floors, and getting coffee for tips. As Mr. Livoti got older and gained more knowledge of the industry he eventually made his way up and became a store manager at the age of 28. Mr. Livoti continued his hard work and dedication under management until 2009 when he decided to start his own business. Livoti’s Old World Market, a one-stop gourmet Italian specialty market, was first envisioned by John Livoti in 2009. Livoti’s Old World Market was first established in May of 2010 in Aberdeen, NJ. The Livoti Family’s Old World Market would consist of only the finest produce, Meat, Grocery, Dairy, Deli, Catering, and Bakery departments.
