Four generations of expertise serving New York's food service industry.
Giacomo began traveling the Bronx with a horse-drawn cart equipped with a foot-powered grindstone, establishing what would become a multi-generational family operation serving restaurants and food service throughout New York City.
Leo Ambrosi took over operations, maintaining the door-to-door service model while modernizing techniques and expanding throughout New York City's food service industry.
The business evolved from foot-powered grindstones to battery-powered equipment installed in service trucks, improving efficiency while preserving the personal, on-site service customers valued.
Third-generation owner Robert, with over 40 years of professional sharpening experience, established a permanent workshop in North Salem with professional machinery including 36-inch water bath wheels and traditional whetstones.
Robert's sons Jason and Mark represent the fourth generation, continuing the family tradition with modern equipment and the same commitment to service and quality that Giacomo established nearly 100 years ago.
