They are passionate about the food they grew up eating and where they are from. When developing Peruvian Brothers, Giuseppe and Mario were inspired to give the community more than just delicious Peruvian food. They want every customer to experience their unique heritage. As a two-time Olympic athlete in competitive rowing for Team USA, Giuseppe Lanzone is the driving force on the business side to match his brother’s prowess in the kitchen. The brothers were born and raised off the coast of Lima, Perú, in a close-knit community of “La Punta” where family and the ocean reigned. The only time they didn’t spend in the ocean was spent feasting on fresh fruits, vegetables and meats prepared by loving hands. After nine years of operation, Peruvian Brothers has expanded from one award-winning food truck to three food trucks and concession stands at stadiums, theaters, zoos and farmers markets. They provide large scale catering services across DC, Maryland & Virginia. In February of 2020, Peruvian Brothers opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant open 7 days a week inside the La Cosecha Latin Market in Union Market District in Washington, DC. Thanks to the Lanzone brothers, Peruvian dishes have been enjoyed at the White House, State Department, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, military bases, hospitals, universities, countless corporate lunches, summits, galas, weddings, festivals, concerts and more.
