About

Tornino’s Passes the Torch to The Painted Table The Painted Table is moving into Tornino’s Banquets! Tornino’s was founded 40 years ago when two close friends, Chester “Chet” Torcaso and Pete Vagnino, partnered on a vision to bring high-quality banquets to the Central San Joaquin Valley. Chet dreamed of opening a premier banquet facility, and Pete needed a new business interest following his retirement from American Beauty. In 1981, the dream became a reality. Tornino’s opened its doors and from the beginning was was built around family. Since their passing, Chet’s son Michael Torcaso and Pete’s daughter Catherine “Kitty” Thompson grew Tornino’s into a Fresno icon and home to some of the most prominent events in the Central Valley.
