You may have seen Mano Bella Artisan Foods’ authentic, artisanal Italian foods around Charlotte, at local farmers markets like the South End Farmers Market, North End Farmers Market and Uptown Farmers Market. By spring 2022, the concept’s made-from-scratch food will be available at its new storefront at The Market at 7th Street in uptown.

Co-owners Raffaele and Madison Patrizi are excited about not only the company’s growth but also the relationships they’ve made with customers, local farmers and other producers since its initial opening in 2021. While they’ve seen success with operating from The City Kitch in University and offering local pickup at the commercial kitchen and local farmer’s markets, the move to The Market at 7th Street offers more room for growth.
