Ottawa banquet hall Sala San Marco is bidding goodbye to big fat weddings as it transforms a significant chunk of its space into an authentic Italian food market that s scheduled to open by the end of the summer in Little Italy.
Mercato Zacconi will specialize in prepared foods and meal kits. Owner Tony Zacconi says it will also sell everything one might expect from a high-end food emporium, including a wide variety of cheeses, butcher and deli meats, seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery products and desserts, wood-fired pizza and focaccia, homemade pasta and a vast assortment of wine, along with beer. As well, it will carry flowers and gift baskets.
