I’m Antonio.  Co-owner of Lilas pierogi.  Husband to Connie, Son to Lila, and father of two.  I am first generation born in the U.S.  I was born in Detroit Michigan and love this wonderful state.  Some of my earliest memories are standing by my mom’s side, on a step stool mixing, sprinkling, and kneading something.  From our kitchen in Hamtramck to our kitchen here in Livonia.  I’ve been cooking my whole life.  Most of my jobs in my life have been working in the kitchen some way or another.  I believe the good Lord has been training me my whole life for this.  I feel extremely blessed to be able to have a family business, working with the people I love most.  Our kitchen is full of love and laughter with my wife, mom, and my two boys;  who when are not in school can be found helping at Lila’s, and helping by my side.
