We all know Mazzaro’s is a fantastic Italian deli. But did you know that it is also a great place to see Italian-themed artwork, antiques and oddities? You can thank co-founder, Sam Cuccaro, for this. Outside, the walls are covered in Italian-themed murals by Herbert Scott Davis. Inside, the market is full of Italian antiques and Italian- and food-themed artwork. As Sam Cuccaro says, “You have to give the people something to see.” Want more? Check out Meet Me at Mazzaro’s: Secrets of an Italian Deli by the Cuccaro family.
