This has to be my favorite grocery store of all time. The selection of meats is great

Just OK is my takeaway. It was under construction in the middle of the store so I could not get some items. I wanted Calabrian chiles, but they were apparently behind the plastic construction area. At the deli, I asked for a half pound prosciutto. They cut over 1lb due to lack of English. OK. I took it anyway so it was not wasted (the domestic was no bueno). It was old and dried out. There was no one at the meat counter, so I had to ask the deli guy to help me. The chicken breasts that were on sale were gatgantuan. I have never seen chicken breasts so large. The wings smelled bad when I got home to package to freeze. I had to toss 10 lbs. The reason I went was for the chicken sale. I am not risking food poisoning. The prices on most grocery items were actually higher than Publix. For specialty Italian items, the selection was just good. I did find guanciale and pancetta. Honestly, I would rather go to Mazzaro's or Moschella's. Their service is much better, and they have much more specialty items, plus they are cleaner and don't sell old nasty food. read more

Meats, pastas and other Italian food items were excellent. Prices were reasonable. Had BOGO sale items which were a good deal. Drove an hour and 45 minutes but it was worth it. Hard to get real Italian food in Ocala. read more

Our annual search for fish for the traditional Christmas Eve dinner led us to Cacciatore Bros in Tampa, a local institution that lives up to its reputation as an old-world market. The store was busy, as expected during the holiday season, but the staff were efficient and helpful. We were specifically in search of smelts and octopus to complete our "Feast of the Seven Fishes" menu, and we were not disappointed; their seafood selection, like their meat counter, is extensive. The selection of specialty fish, meats, and imported goods at Cacciatore Bros is truly remarkable. The butcher counter, which is a major highlight, offers everything from various cuts of beef and poultry to harder-to-find options like lamb. We couldn't resist picking up some of their house-made spiral Christmas sausage, which is available in several flavors including a delicious special blend with imported Pecorino Romano cheese and parsley. The aisles are stocked with an array of imported Italian items, from every pasta shape imaginable to a wide selection of olive oils, cheeses, and unique condiments. The market also shines with its selection of authentic imported goods, perfect for holiday treats. We made sure to grab some Torrone (a classic Italian nougat confection) and a package of Bellino Savoiardi Lady Fingers to be used for Tiramisu. The store has a great wine selection as well, with options from around the world to pair with your gourmet meal. Our visit to Cacciatore Bros will make preparing our Christmas Eve dinner an exciting and authentic experience. We highly recommend it to anyone in the Tampa area looking for quality and specialty Italian products. read more

I will constantly be shopping here now. Recently I read that food is more regulated in Italy so I went on a quest to find food made in Italy. This is the place to go. Yes, there is tons of food made in the US too but it's a good variety. You won't find everything that you find at a standard grocery store here. Off the top of my head I couldn't find Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or nut butter, but what you do find is spectacular. We got pasta and pasta sauce imported from Italy, frozen ravioli from New York, coffee beans from Italy, bread from local bakeries, and my husband loved the coke from Mexico with real sugar. We also grabbed cannolis from their deli. They have a substantial wine and butcher area. Also a a good selection of ready made foods. This place is hidden, but the parking lot is big. I will definitely continue to come here to shop! read more

I don't know how this place has good reviews.. I went to purchase meats and got disgusted at all the FLIES that were there all around the meats! Yuck never returning again! read more

I've been to Cacciatore Bros for lunch several times and overall I think it's really good. The chef salad is fresh, filling, and always hits the spot. Their hot meals are also consistently solid and great for a quick lunch. The deli itself can get very hectic, especially during peak hours, with long lines and lots going on at once. The staff is generally friendly, though they can be a bit assertive when things get busy. Despite the chaos, I still recommend it for the food quality, pricing, and variety. read more

Old school Italian grocery and butcher shop. They have ALL your Italian grocery needs covered. We tried their homemade antipasti, chocolate canolis and it was all great. We bought a 7 lb boneless rib roast, their highest grade I believe was Choice. The roast was delicious! We came out of our way to shop here for Christmas meals, but I will definitely try and make it back more often. They have very good deals on their butcher meats. read more

I used to come here years ago when I lived in Tampa and loved it. Now I shop there when I visit my son ( who used to come with me when he was young and is their customer still.) Delicious food and outstanding service. Best deli in Tampa! read more

We went there today April 5, 26. Got two cubans and a Greek salad. The salad was bad had to throw it away. The cubans have no pork on them and are not too good. Pipos cubans are much better. Will never go to this one on Paula Dr. again. read more

I was in line to get seafood, the man working there finished the customer before me and just left? He did not even acknowledge me. Not my first time having customer service issues there, I get the impression if you don't speak Spanish, they don't want to help you. So I left without spending any money there. read more

Wow another place that has gone downhill. Ordered a pin wheel sausage that he cut and stuffed in a plastic bag not leaving it whole and flat. When I tried to explain to please leave it whole and round he did give me a whole one but stuffed it again in a bag all mangled. The guys behind the counter did NOT want to be there and avoided customers. Will not be back. read more

I can't believe I've lived here almost 6 years and just finding this place. Absolutely amazing store. From the butcher to the cheese to the wine to the produce to plants to the pastas to the premade meals the list keeps going!!! The staff super friendly as well. Prices are incredibly fair in this world we live in today. I'm so glad we finally came here. I will be a lifer read more

What an absolute shame... I have so many memories of going to the store as a child and throughout the years every time I go, it gets nasty tier and nastier. I don't know how everyone leaving that place with a purchase does not go home eat it and die of food poisoning. It smells like food that has gone bad. The second you walk through the door it punches you in the face. They're all a bar is absolutely horrendous. What a serious letdown the olives look more dried up than SpongeBob's grandma. Honestly, I'm trying to be serious but it's just so upsetting that a store was such a reputation a store that has been around for so long a store that says they're Italian doesn't have a single Italian or even a descendent of any type of Italian in the entire place. I went to the store to purchase chorizo the tree so they had prepackaged felt mushy and also had to buy one get one sticker and they only had one package not that I would've bought either. This is nothing close to what an Italian market should look like feel like or smell like the only reason they're still open is because of what they were at one point but are no longer by a long shot. I will absolutely never go into the store again this 100% confirmed it on the last trip. It sucks to see businesses like this started by generations that have passed handed on to their children or grandkids whatever the situation may be, and they simply don't care. read more

Fresh, Quality products at reasonable prices. Well worth the drive from Sebring to load up on various sausages, cheese, pork and seafood, produce and wine. I alays recommend Cacciatore Bros. to all my neighbors and friends. read more

Sausage. Sausage. Sausage. Love the butcher shop. The ravioli. Great place. Clean and attractive.

Nice place for Italian cookies - and specialty food for Holidays - would be nice to have festive Italian music playing in the store and happy environment- Thank you read more

I have been going to this awesome meat market/Supermarket for over year and can't say enough good things about it! If you follow their Facebook page, you'll find AMAZING daily specials that you won't want to miss! Wednesday, they run a $3.99 a lb special for a whole NY strip you can cut into individual steaks! Fresh pastas and unique seasoning blends are among the special items you are also able to get there. If you've never been, take a few minutes to stop by and just walk around! The staff is super friendly and willing to help with any questions. The quality of the products are amazing! read more

Everything is fresh you get hungry as soon as you get to meat counter.service was quick, and the workers are very helpful

The beef, sausage, ham, and deli meats are terrific never had a problem in 20 years. Chicken and some Meats a little high in price but it's good quality. Fabulous sausage never had a problem. Sometimes great sales. Go once a week Mr cacciatore and his sister treat me like I'm in the family always order anything I need. read more

The owner was super nice and and very generous with the pizza toppings. I was as pleased to find a place that sells by the slice.

Been going there to purchase meat mostly. The meat & vegetables are really good. The service, however, has not been friendly...multiple visits. read more

Awesome place food is fresh and reasonably priced great authentic Italian cuisine and hard to find items that you won't find anywhere else unless you go to Italy ciao read more

Cacciatores is so special. My girlfriend has been going over 60 years since she was in the womb. She introduced me here 23 years ago. High quality products at a reasonable price. Good service. They have some of the best deviled crabs in Tampa. read more

Absolutely reminiscent of the type of store you'll find by the dozens up north. We rarely bought our meats at the chain grocers up in New England. It was all about the Italian butchers back in my day. Cacciatore's offers an array of large cuts of meats, seafoods, cheeses, fresh herbs, wine, and every pasta shape in existence. Everything you need to make a sauce you'll find here. The prices for quantity are what makes it worth the drive. Much more bang for your buck than Publix. Our most recent purchase was four pounds of brisket. Tender and delicious. Seeing all the biscottis and other Italian foods made me nostalgic but I couldn't purchase much of the grocery items. Couldn't find a single gluten free brand. Overall worth checking out if you're in the area or in search of larger quantities and variety of meats. read more

I love this market! I moved here from ATL during Covid quarantine and luckily found this market that has nearly EVERYTHING this weekend I celebrated my sons bday and ordered the 3x' half Italian half cumin sub. It was a 'HUGE' hit :) read more

I have not been too this location since I lived nearby in the early 90's... and kept meaning to stop, since I am in the area occasionally. They have one of the best (and busiest) meat markets in Tampa... with a wide selection of meats, and butchers that will cut it to your liking. Good selection of some hard to find frozen meats also, including rabbit, goat and lamb. Great vegetable and fruit selection, really fresh... nice to walk down the aisle and just look. So much better than many supermarkets. Lots of pastas and sauces, and a lot of Italian and Latin specialty foods too. They also have a hot food area... where you can get lasagna, and different salads... and a huge selection of yummy olives of all types. Baked goods too... they had a Focaccia bread with artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes that I really wanted to get... but alas, dieting, so avoiding carbs like that if I can. Great store if you like to cook! Great store if you just want to pick up something pre-made, and munch! The store is clean, well setup, and easy to shop in. It smells like a real grocery store too... instead of a the sterile, boring supermarkets. You can smell the garlic, the onions, the baked goods... the spices! Wonderful... it makes me hungry to just walk into a market like this! read more

I regularly visit Cacciatore Brothers when I'm in the Tampa area. Wonderful Italian grocery store and bakery. Well stocked. Reminds me of those Italian joints back up in NY/NJ. Fresh deli meats, sliced to order, tastes wonderful. Fresh baked bread. Imported grocery items. All good, love this place. read more

Everything you need in Italian groceries, and best prices in town ! Their sausages are incredible and they even have chicken sausage. A tremendous selection of pasta , that's decently priced! read more

I was surprised this grocery has some great Italian goods. I thought that this is just a regular grocery store. They carry some interesting grocery items not normally found. They do carry some international grocery items. To start, their fresh produce has a lot of varieties. They got it from local market and bag it at the same day. It is also including the live herb that still in the pot. You can get those and pick the leaves and cook for fresh ingredients. They have the home made chorizo with buy one and get one free. The home made Italian sausages are displayed in the climate control glass storage cabinets. The flavor includes thick cheese with parsley, mild sausage, kielbasa and more. Fresh seafood and prepared seasoning seafood are on display. Giant scallops, fillets tilapia, peeled shrimp are beautifully displayed. Poultry, meat cut was there for your choice. I like their ice cream. We have the hazel nut Italian ice cream that is heavenly good. read more

Mangia!! Being from NYC and having married into an ITALIAN family I know a bit about things ITALIAN ... especially good Italian food. I have spend more time in notable NYC and elsewhere Italian delis and food shops Cacciatore Bros is a jewell of a store/shop... Italian or otherwise. Cheeses galore, plenty of pasta, oodles of olive oil, an Italian deli (meats and cheeses) like no other, Italian brands that are difficult to find even in gourmet shops. Do yourself a huge favor and check this place out. You will enjoy the experience and your taste buds will think they died and went to heaven. As they say in Italy...... MANGIA! read more

What a fun place! We visited on a weekend before a holiday so it was busy busy. However, if you want authentic Italian food/groceries this is the place! Wide variety and multiple choices in every category. read more

I am in love! This Italian meat market has been in my bookmarks for atleast 2 years now. It a about 15-20 mins from my house so I always felt it was out of the way. I would travel much much farther to visit this amazingness. They have everything! Wine, fresh cheeses, housemade chorizo, olive oil, imported ravioli of every variety, fresh produce..shall I go on? On this trip I had the butcher give me a big old slab of bone in Angus prime rib. Wish me luck as this is my first attempt at the cut of meat for Christmas. Then my eye caught procuttio stuffed cherry peppers, oh and cheese faccacia from a local St. Pete bakery. I couldn't leave without getting some ravioli from Brooklyn. Seriously couldn't wait to get home and cook. I will become a regular customer, I'm exciting to go back. They may just get all of my paychecks. read more

Great food, spices you can't get anywhere else. The Cubans also are to die for. Have been going here since I was a little girl with my grandma who cooks German and Spanish cuisine. read more

Incredible selection of food and goods! Huge store! Fresh veggies, the meat selection - WOW! 4/5 star due to the bagger who smashed 11 lbs worth of bacon wrapped filets into the bag like an idiot, they were organized and stacked, he threw them into a bag and they all fell on top of each other.... I would have just carried them without a bag. What the hell.... rest of the experience and business was 5 star. read more

Huge selection of Italian food products in a very sanitary store. First time here. I see there is also a Spanish introduction of goods sold here, probably as a byproduct of a changing neighborhood. Left the store with a good amount groceries, which I haven't sampled in a while. Will definitely return, and highly recommend this place, which is one of two locations Cacciatore's had. read more

O.M.GOODNESS! Emphasis on GOODNESS! My husband and I drove from Spring Hill (about an hour one way) to Cacciatore Bros looking to buy some good beef. We were not disappointed! We chose bacon wrapped filet mignon, and it literally melted in my mouth. SO GOOD! The sausage and cheese counters were packed with lots of selections, the grocery items were plentiful with different brands, and the produce and frozen sections offered a variety as well. We will definitely be going back! You can check out their weekly ad on their Facebook page. We also stopped at Cacciatore and Sons, but were not impressed. In fairness, it was later in the day, and maybe they had sold out of most meat items. Cacciatore Bros on Hanley Rd in Tampa is worth the drive! read more

Fantastic market! Fresh produce and excellent meats. Homemade Italian sausage is excellent-the hot was our favorite (and not too hot at all). Lots of imported goodies. It will be a regular place to shop for me even though it's out of my way! read more

I really like this small, Italian grocery store. In addition to carrying all the supermarket basics that a large grocery store would have, they also have a fine selection of interesting specialty items. If you are going to a dinner party and want to bring something tasty and unusual with you, this would be a great place to shop. The meat counter(s) are not to be missed. Tip 1 - Take a number, first thing. There are usually many people queuing up, so get your place in line. Then you'll have plenty of time to ogle all offerings in the deli cases. I spend most of time trying to decide between the pre-made salads: tomato/mozzarella and the antipasti salad are my favorites, although the tuna is great, and I've had Mediterranean combos that I really enjoyed too. If you are an olive fan, this might be olive heaven for you. Make sure you pay a visit to the their vast cheese area, across from the meats, topped by a variety of cracker options. Whatever you are looking for - they have it. They also have a wonderful wine selection in the corner of the store. I love that for the holidays they stock many Italian holiday wines. Prices are very reasonable on the their produce, plus it all is incredibly fresh. Because the store is so small, they stock merchandise in every available space, so look above the produce too, when you're in that aisle, because I have found things I needed there. Grab a loaf of fresh baked Cuban bread from a local bakery on your way out, and you will have all you need for a perfect meal. read more

I'll keep going to cotsco. I don't know if their prime is really prime. Price is ok but not sure about quality
