Aldo Lamberti and Reyes started working together over twenty-five years ago at Caffe Aldo Lamberti. Reyes quickly became Sous Chef at the restaurant, before becoming Executive Chef at Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti from 2012-2016. Aldo and Regulo took over Pizza Fresca by Lamberti in 2017 and operated it together until they were forced to close it during the pandemic in 2020. When the opportunity to lease a new space came about, they decided to take it, but this time with the intention of offering a new concept that seemed more fitting to what people want now, which is fast service, healthy foods that are ready to take home and heat as well as convenience.
