The business traces its origins to the late 1800s when Michael Cossetta immigrated from Calabria, Italy, and settled in St. Paul’s Upper Levee neighborhood. In 1911, he opened a small food market that became known for quality foods and genuine hospitality. Since 1984, the business has been recognized for award-winning pizza, homemade sauces, and handmade Italian sausages. After celebrating its 100-year anniversary, the fourth-generation family expanded the operation to create Cossetta Alimentari. The new venue maintains the old-world charm of the original market while offering an expanded Italian Market with hard-to-find imported ingredients and a broader line of house-made Cossetta-brand sauces and foods. The Pasticceria features authentic Italian pastries, and the business is noted for its Panettone, a celebratory holiday bread refined for over 15 years. This product was named the U.S. Champion in 2019, 2021, and 2023, and crowned the Americas’ #1 selection in 2025.
