Who's Don?
At Don Empanadas, every golden bite is a celebration of flavor, family, and tradition. Founded by Demian and his wife, Sarah, Don Empanadas brings authentic Argentine culture to Connecticut, one handcrafted empanada at a time.
​
For Demian, Don Empanadas is more than just a business — it's the fulfillment of two lifelong dreams: working side-by-side with his family and reconnecting with his Argentine roots. Born and raised in Argentina, Demian grew up in a culture where empanadas weren’t just food; they were a symbol of togetherness, celebration, and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
​​
With Sarah's support and her naturally social personality, Don Empanadas quickly became a family and community affair. Their three daughters eagerly contribute ideas, taste-test fillings, and share their excitement for this new adventure.
​
Every empanada we serve is made entirely from scratch — from the perfectly crisp dough to the flavorful, innovative fillings. Our recipes are a blend of time-honored Argentine traditions and creative new twists, ensuring there’s something for every palate.
​
Family is at the heart of everything we do, including working closely with Demian's family in Argentina, whose lifelong expertise in dough-making and connections to master artisans has shaped our process and approach. Combining generations of knowledge with modern innovation, we’re proud to bring you an authentic experience that honors the craftsmanship and culture behind every empanada.
