Ventre (pronounced VEN-tray) was founded in 1938 on Midland Avenue in Syracuse by John Ventre Jr. in the basement of his family’s restaurant, Enrico’s, named after his grandfather. He started by selling pre-packed shrimp cocktails, which he prepared during the night and delivered the next morning to restaurants throughout Syracuse. Two years later, Ventre switched to selling spaghetti sauce. Enrico’s restaurant remained in business until 1986. The building was demolished in 1994."
