Tempesta, meaning “strong wind gusts” or “storms” in Italian, is a nod to both the Windy City and the young company’s whirlwind success. The project comes from the father-and-son team of Agostino and Tony Fiasche, the same duo behind Nduja Artisans Salumeria. That company is best known for producing the spicy, spreadable cured sausage called ‘nduja, a specialty of the Calabrian region of Italy.
From the same family that produces some of the country’s best cured meats under their flagship, Nduja Artisans Salumeria, comes a new multi-concept eatery offering a full-service delicatessen, in-house charcuterie, gelate, craft sandwiches, and an array of gourmet pantry items to take home. Tempesta Market will be your one-stop shop for great food, meats, and groceries.
