The Greater Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce, a proud partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, was thrilled to offer a hand at Assante Italian Restaurant\u2019s 20th<\/sup> Anniversary celebration with an official ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, August 15, 2023. This Northampton business is built on love, food, and family, with a heaping helping of parmesan of course!\u00a0 Community members have come to love the family atmosphere in Northampton\u2019s favorite Italian eatery.<\/p>\n

Over 200 tickets were pre-sold to the event, with community and Chamber members joining the festivities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur business is built on the community and being a part of it. We owe our success to the community and their unwavering support through the good times and the challenging ones, like COVID. We were thrilled to celebrate family, community, and 20 great years!\u201d said Nicola Assante.<\/p>\n

\u201cNic and his family have made Assante\u2019s a staple and model member of the community and the Chamber,\u201d said Jessica O\u2019Donnell-Gower, EVP of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. \u201cThey not only have given us a place to break bread for years, but they have participated in community initiatives like restaurant weeks, the Christmas at the Roxy fundraiser and more. We couldn\u2019t be happier to celebrate this milestone with them and look forward to many more years of patronage and partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Assante family moved to the US from Naples, Italy over 20 years ago, and made the Northampton community home. When the family first moved to Northampton, there were six of them \u2013 Mario, Luisa, Rosanna, Giulio, Nic, and Nunzia.<\/p>\n

Mario and Luisa moved to the US in the hopes of giving their children a better life \u2013 fast forward to today, and the family celebrated their 20th<\/sup> anniversary of thriving! The Assante family is incredibly grateful to the entire Northampton community for supporting them through COVID, and for joining them in celebration of an absolutely phenomenal 20 years in business.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssante\u2019s is a shining example of putting love on the plate. Anybody who\u2019s had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at this fine establishment has undoubtedly tasted that love! Food and family go hand in hand for the Assante family, and all that love really shows up in the service, the delectable dishes – and when you inevitably need to be rolled out the door at the conclusion of your meal!\u201d said Kate Hartney, Coordinator at the Northampton Area Chamber.<\/p>\n
