Every batch begins with the same pride and care. George Switzer has spent decades carrying his family's standard into the next generation.  

      Real American Express Card Members are aware that this testimonial may be featured in marketing materials.

      George Switzer of Queen Ann Ravioli likes to say that if he ever leaves Brooklyn, he'll "shut the lights off and close the door behind me." Spend a few minutes with him, and it's easy to understand why that's unlikely. The family business has been part of the Bensonhurst neighborhood since 1972, serving generations of neighbors with the craftsmanship and attention to detail that continue to define it today.

      Bensonhurst has changed over the decades, welcoming new cultures, new families and new traditions. George hasn't tried to hold on to the past. He's carried forward a standard—one built on quality, consistency and the belief that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing right. As he puts it, "We do it with love, and we do it with pride."

      As an American Express Business Member, George values the company's longstanding commitment to small businesses and the role it plays in helping neighborhood businesses continue serving the communities they call home. That support allows him to stay focused on the standards that have guided Queen Ann Ravioli for generations—making every batch with the same pride and care as the last.
