Jerry & Mary Ellen Spinelli took their time opening a market in the heart of the Park Hill neighborhood, allowing it to grow as neighbors discovered all it had to offer.

It also has it's own brand of sauces, all made without any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. A market to make the whole family shout "Buon Appetito!"
