Co-Founder
Anthony Solazzo is a serial entrepreneur whose roots in food and wine run deep. He grew up in Yonkers, New York, working in his father’s Italian market—his family’s own entry into the world of hospitality and entrepreneurship. Having spent decades in the insurance industry, Anthony started up a passion project in 2006, when he founded Vini Veris, a Florida-based wine import company that built lasting partnerships with celebrated Italian winemakers, many of whom remain lifelong friends. A few years later, he launched e-TeleQuote, an insurance brokerage that grew into a nationally recognized company and was acquired in 2021. Today, having returned to his first passion, Anthony is bringing forward a long-held vision with his daughter, Christina, through Dialect Imports – continuing a family legacy of building businesses rooted in culture, connection, and community.
