It All Started With Lasagna

The Life Story of Peter Mercanti and His Ingredients for Business Success, Leadership and Happiness by Peter Tassi

It All Started with Lasagna is a chance to get up close and personal with Peter Mercanti, a successful Hamilton businessman who came to Canada as an immigrant at age seven with his parents. With forthright honesty, Peter shares the story of his rise to business success—starting off at the age of eleven with selling “recycled” car engines to the scrap yard from which they were liberated—and the development of Carmen’s Banquet Centre, his flourishing wedding and event venue, and associated hospitality businesses.

All net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Charity of Hope.
