Located in the heart of St. Petersburg, Mazzaro's is more than a one-of-a-kind Italian gourmet market, it’s one of Tampa Bay’s favourite culinary destinations. Known for its handmade pastas, pre-made dishes, cheeses, olives, popular deli sandwiches, and decadent bakery items, Mazzaro's is food lovers paradise. Founded by the Cuccaro family in 1993 when they moved from Pennsylvania, they missed the old Italian neighbourhood they left behind. The smell and taste of great coffee, and the aroma of crusty fresh-baked Italian bread baked to perfection. So they set up in an old sausage factory, starting as a coffee roasting company. Due to the success of that, they decided to expand the business and added a deli, bakery, meat counter, coffee bar, wine and cheese room and fresh produce. Marrazo's also hosts wine tastings, book signings and next door, Cassa di Mazzaro is a wonderfully complete kitchenware shop. Magnifico!
