PLATTSBURGH — Caracciola Authentic Italian will open a deli location on Margaret Street in early April.
Tommy Caracciola started his business over a year ago as a food truck based out of the kitchen at St. Joseph’s Community Outreach Center. With the help of a small team, he offered a variety of Italian foods at community events during the summer and provided large-scale catering to private parties.
