Bonfatto's is a third generation 101 year-old family business. Guy and Pauline Bonfatto started it all on August 15, 1919 in downtown Bellefonte as a grocery and home delivery business. In 1958 John Bonfatto invented our famous Bonanza Sub Sandwich, which today is still a mainstay of the business. In 1990, grandson David Letterman (son of Rose Bonfatto) joined the business. In 1999 David and his Wife Sherri bought the business and a year later opened a full-service 140 seat estaurant and lounge in November 2000. David had always envisioned a smaller Italian Market. The two renovated a historical building and moved their business back downtown Bellefonte as Bonfatto's Italian Market and Corner Cafe.
