ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (BLOOM) —Mazzaro’s Italian Market, one of the Tampa Bay area’s most iconic markets, is expanding its footprint with the opening of Zagara Gelato, a new scoop shop located directly next door to its longtime location at 3001 22nd Ave. N.
Set to open soon, Zagara Gelato will serve a curated menu of traditional Italian gelato, refreshing fruit granita, and soft Sicilian-style brioche.
