Our Story

Bringing Authentic Italian Tradition to Southwest Florida Since 1992

B&G Italian Market was founded on a simple belief: that food made with love, tradition, and the freshest ingredients always brings people together. What began as a small family dream in 1992 quickly grew into a local favorite, known for hearty Italian classics, homemade specialties, and warm hospitality that makes every visit feel like family.

From the very beginning, our kitchen has been at the heart of everything we do. Every sauce is simmered from scratch, every cutlet hand-breaded, and every sandwich layered generously with only Boar's Head finest. Recipes passed down through generations—like Nonna’s meatballs and lasagna—still inspire the menu today.

At B&G, we take pride in doing things the old-fashioned way. No shortcuts, no compromises—just real, homemade food prepared daily. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick Italian sub (our legendary heroes are a community staple!), grabbing ready-to-go meals for busy nights, catering for family gatherings, or stocking up on artisan breads, rich cheeses like Pecorino Romano, seasoned olives, and fresh pastries that often sell out fast, you'll taste the difference authentic care makes.

For me, B&G isn’t just a market—it’s so much more. I am proud to carry on the tradition started years ago and share my passion for homemade Italian food with every customer who walks through the door. We're grateful for the loyal families who've made us part of their traditions over three decades, from everyday lunches to holiday feasts.
