Authentic, healthy, creative. Three words that AnnaMarie along with her daughters, Arianna, Alessia, and Angelica would use to describe their business. After experiencing health issues, AnnaMarie decided to take matters into her own hands and focus on eating more nutritional foods. Unsatisfied with the lack of options in stores Linguini Sisters emerged with the mission of creating healthy food that stuck to the family's roots and traditions. Since that day in 2012 the business has grown exponentially and can be found in over 15 retailers in and around the Chicago land area. AnnaMarie credits her daughters as being her biggest supporters and motivation to continue powering through. AnnaMarie and her daughters are an example to us all.
