All families have different dynamics, come from different backgrounds and have different traditions. But one thing nearly all of them have in common is asking each other the daily question: “What’s for dinner?” Marco Minieri is answering that question and educating customers along the way at Bottega Boccini, a new Italian market he recently opened along with his wife, Allison Kimmel.
“I want people to ask me questions, I like to answer the questions. I like to explain and also I like, after 30 years in the kitchen, I can give recipe to make the products,” Minieri said. “If someone comes in and says ‘Marco, I don’t know what I’m cooking tonight.’ I ask, ‘What do you want, fish or meat?’ I navigate with them and sell my product and find them a recipe.”
