T. Marzetti Company has plants across the United States that make a variety of quality food products, including Texas toast, garlic bread, egg noodles, croutons, veggie dips and the company s specialty: salad dressing. In 1896, Teresa Marzetti arrived in the United States from Florence, Italy, and started a small Italian restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Marzetti's became a local favorite, especially among Ohio State University students, and grew to become a four-star restaurant and one of the finest dining experiences in the Midwest. By 1955, Marzetti s dressings had become so renowned that the upstairs kitchen of the restaurant became a full-scale factory. The Marzetti brand of salad dressings was soon found in grocery stores throughout Ohio. After Teresa Marzetti's death in 1972, the restaurant closed forever, but her passion for quality still lives in T. Marzetti's many salad dressings and other specialty food products. A Lancaster Colony Company, T. Marzetti Company has a number of factories, including one in Milpitas, Calif.
