About Pietro

Pietro Dressings began in 1981 at the Angelo Pietro Pasta Restaurant in Japan, where founder Kunihiko Murata was guided by one simple goal: making people happy at the table. While pasta dishes were cooked to order, guests were served a small starter salad topped with a house-made vinaigrette—an Italian-style dressing infused with the flavors of Japan. The response was immediate. Customers loved it, and soon everyone wanted Pietro’s special dressing to enjoy at home. What started as a simple restaurant staple quickly grew into something much bigger. Today, Pietro Dressings sell over 17 million bottles each year in Japan, earning a place as one of the country’s most iconic and trusted salad dressing brands. Now made and available in the USA, Pietro continues the same small-batch, home-style tradition that made it famous—carefully balancing bold Japanese flavors with classic Italian vinaigrettes. Pietro Dressings contain no cholesterol, no MSG, and no preservatives, and are gluten-free and vegetarian friendly. With eye-catching packaging, broad flavor appeal, and strong repeat purchases, Pietro transforms everyday meals into something crave-worthy. Once customers try Pietro, they don’t just buy a bottle. They become lifelong fans.Read their story
