Ludovico Barbati came into the United States back in 1917, from Torella Di Lombardi, Italy. After just getting married in 1918 to Paolina Maugeri life was hard. Time went by and their six beautiful children were born. In 1938 Ludovico learned from a baker how to make Spumoni and Ices, in a little garage on West 8th Street, Brooklyn New York. His prized possession horse "Babe" was purchased, along with a new wagon. He sold his products up and down the streets of Gravesend & Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

In 1939, Ludovico, Sr. decided he needed a little, inexpensive place to make the Spumoni and Ices, so he purchased vacant property on 86th street in Brooklyn. He asked his friends, who were carpenters, brick layers and cement workers from the "old country", to build the first of now three buildings. He manufactured his Spumoni in his factory; people from the town would come and buy his products. This was stopping him from using good ol' Babe & Wagon to sell his products. He personally saw the business booming and said "It can't go on this way". Daughter Anna stayed in the factory and served all the people while he made the Spumoni. His friends returned to build him a shanty in front of the factory where he could put out some tables and a few chairs. He knew this was the right thing to do; he went as far as to plant trees and make sure his vision was coming out just as planned.

In the mid 1950's L & B Spumoni Gardens built the second building, which is now the Pizzeria, selling our famous thick Sicilian pies, as well as our regular round pies. Progressively, though the years the third building was added, it became our luncheonette. Our luncheonette is now our dinning room. L & B Spumoni Gardens is now in its fourth generation. There will always be a family member to greet you at our doors. We are definitely proud of our heritage and we know how proud our "Grandfather Ludovico" would be of us. We are so very grateful for his insight.
