Peter Carlino

founder & ceo entrees unlimited

Born in San Jose, California I learned to cook at age 8, for my brothers and sisters. When I turned 10 I bought a Popcorn Machine for $50.00. I helped my mother at her snack shop at the Village Faire Antiques in Aptos California on the weekends. I was making Big money $14.00 a day!
I attended Archbishop Mitty High School and Graduated (barely) in 1970. From there, I joined the US Naval Air Reserve. I was blessed enough to marry the love of my life in 1973, Pam.
My Family Owned Time Market in San Jose, and later my Dad opened The Round House Delicatessen in Campbell. In 1976 I Opened Felton Deli and Cheese Farm, in Felton California with my brother Patrick. Things were going great, but we were caught in the “Love Creek Flood” January 2, 1982 and I lost everything I owned.
We had two kids and I had no job, so I decided to start Catering in my Dad’s Family room, and serviced my first corporate customer, Sony Corporation on Old Oakland Road. The words Corporate Catering hadn’t been invented yet! Six months later I rented a building in San Jose, and proceeded to build a kitchen-commissary. This was the beginning...
In 1999 I joined my cousin Sam Carlino, John Costa, Tom Francois and Alfredo Croce in hosting a cooking show called, “Who’s Cookin’”, which aired for 13 years! I am grateful that I have the opportunity to share my love of cooking with the world.
I was blessed to have two more kids, and have now been married for 47 years, to Pam.  Entrees Unlimited has been a leader in Corporate Catering in the Silicon Valley, and it’s been a wild ride!
I am an active supporter of Tuolumne Trails Camp in Groveland, Ca. A place where people with Medical disabilities can experience the Outdoors in a way like no other. 
Another passion is “Operation Freedom Paws” in Morgan Hill, Ca. A place where Veterans and their families dealing with PTSD can enhance their lives with the addition of a Companion Dog.
I love being with my Family, boating, hot rodding and hunting.

Now, you know almost everything about me!

John Costa

Senior vice president of sales and marketing

I have been Catering with Entrees Unlimited for more than 33 years!
Way back when, I started as a part time delivery person, but within a year I grew into the Sales and Marketing role.
Building trust and a bond with my customers has always been a number one priority. I have a passion for cooking, and you could probably tell that if you came to my house and saw my Cookbook Library with over 1500 cookbooks!
I loved creating recipes so much that I became a partner in a famous cooking show, “Who’s Cookin?” It ran for 13 years and we made over 250 half-hour shows!! What a great time that was!
One thing I pride myself in, is support for my customers for special dietary dishes. I love the opportunity to introduce new menus and dishes to our customers that taste great!

Good Wine, Good Friends, Good Times!
