An Italian Market - A Kenosha Tradition Since 1950

Picture
​In 1926, John N. Tenuta left his native Italy for the United States. It wasn’t until 1950, however, that John and Lydia realized their dream with the purchase of the store, which came to be known as Tenuta’s Delicatessen. Over the years, many things have changed in our store, but our commitment to quality and the best possible customer service has always remained the same.
