Mariano’s is kicking off their annual Grazie Italian Celebration – which means at all their stores, they will be celebrating all things Italian, from focaccia to pasta to tiramisu. Link for more information HERE.

Stores will be featuring imported items, as well as locally-inspired favorites like Kooshy Croutons, Four Star Artisan Sausages, Sundays with Joe Sauce, Palermo Bakery, Caruso Giardiniera, Massa Pizza, and more. 

They will also have an abbondanza of items to sample – from Mariano’s housemade Italian Sausages, to caprese salads, to cannoli’s and more! Shoppers will enjoy tastings of Italian cheeses, olive oils, pastas, spreads, cookies, Italian sodas and wines led by Italian distributors.  

And then on September 21 at their South Loop, Harwood Heights and Ravenswood locations, they will be hosting in-store celebrations featuring music and Italian, Italian American and Italian inspired vendors offering samples.
