Litle Italy in Saint Paul

This Italian market, pizzeria and restaurant is an icon in St. Paul, Minnesota.  A family business begun in the late 1800's , read on to learn its history:
Our Story

n the late 1800’s a young man named Michael Cossetta came to St. Paul from Calabria, Italy, and settled in a little Italian neighborhood in St. Paul called the Upper Levee. By 1911, he opened a tiny food market called Cossetta’s, which drew customers from everywhere who appreciated his quality foods and genuine hospitality.

Since 1984, Cossetta’s has been known for its award-winning pizza, homemade sauces, handmade Italian sausages and welcoming staff. After recently celebrating Cossetta’s 100-year anniversary, the fourth-generation family decided to expand the tradition to include all the Old World sensations and offerings a customer might experience in Italy without actually traveling there.

The New Cossetta Alimentari

Our Pizzeria & Eatery has the same hustle, bustle, aromas and flavors of the past, but with more authentic products and old world charm.

Our new Italian Market now has more quality Italian products to shop for, including hard-to-find imported ingredients and an expanded line of house-made Cossetta-brand sauces and foods to take away or prepare at home.

The Pasticceria will more than satisfy the sweet tooth in everyone with authentic Italian pastries like Panettone and Pandoro, several flavors of gelato, plus other delicacies you might only find in the small pastry shops of Italy.
