About Sunbelt Imports, Inc.

Sunbelt is owned and operated by Salvatore Albelice.  Mr. Albelice came to Houston from Milan in 1981 and had quickly made a name for himself in the restaurant business, when he notice in the late 1980’s that metropolitan cities such as Los Angeles and New York were having great success with coffee houses.  He knew it was just a matter of time before the “Coffee House Craze “ would strike the Houston scene and he knew he was the person to bring it to fruition.
