Cacciatore & Sons
Welcome to Cacciatore & Sons where you will find the heart of traditional Italian foods! Established in 1896 our Italian meat market has truly made its mark in the Tampa community.

Services
In 1896, the Cacciatore's came to the United States from Italy in search of the American dream. They settled in Ybor City in Tampa, FL; opening a butcher shop that provided groceries and other household items. Our family catered to the immigrants that lived in this industrial town that consisted mainly of Cubans, Italians, and Spaniards.

This grocery store sells lots of Latin (mostly Cuban), Italian and Spanish products. Some of these items may also be found at other local shops that sell Latin products but this store has more variety of products. They also have a deli, meats and prepared food section. We were able to get freshly sliced mortadella here, not prepackaged. They also carry difficult to find cured meat products like guanciale and pancetta.

A Tampa Landmark for consistently top shelf prepared deli, meats, real-deal crusty bread & freshly ground coffee. Then there is fully stocked isles of produce & Latin foods. It is my must stop shop whenever I'm in Tampa.

I am mad at myself for never coming here before!!!!! I have passed this awesome place so many times and never made the motion to stop by. My family was visiting from New York recently and I was looking for different dinner options since my dad likes to grill. Decided to grab a pinwheel of cheese & parsley sausage and some extra links on the side to see how they were. The gentleman at the meat counter was so kind and the prices were awesome! I also took a local Italian bread from the counter as I was getting ready to check out. OMG...my family RAVED about the sausage and that Italian bread for

What a great store. The meat department is excellent. Great selection and harder to find items such as smoked pork chops and oxtail. It is a neighborhood jewel in my opinion. Highly recommend.

Love the olive salad and artichoke salad. Hands down the best sweet Italian sausage and hot Italian sausage. My husband who was raised by a Sicilian mother said the sausage was a 10 and the olive salad and artichoke salad is a 12.

Are you looking for the tastiest and the most original Deviled Crab in Tampa? This is the place! Starts with a lovingly homemade sofrito mixed with blue crab stuffed into the perfect thickness of cuban bread crumbs. Moist and delicious!

Old time charm. Love the feeling of this hometown market. Italian sausage is delish!. Hot sausage was really great. Devil crabs are awesome. Bought some plantains (already cooked) they were fantastic!

Still a great place to come for Italian/Spanish groceries, meat, or pre-made old-school Tampanian food. I usually get the sausage sandwich, because they make their own Italian sausage, and they are very generous with their serving size. A single sandwich can feed me for two meals. I also recently tried their giardiniera olive salad, which is pretty good. I wish it was spicier and a little less salty, but it's still yummy.

They now carry guanciale! (Previously, I hadn't seen it.) They pre-slice it, which reduces its lifespan, but is so darned convenient if you are planning to use it soon

I'm sitting here in line waiting for the new animal shelter to open and I find myself hungry. At 9 AM I walked across the street to order two café and toast. I walked up to the counter along with a little Italian lady who spoke Italian to the people behind the counter. I was completely ignored and when she walked away nobody even acknowledged me. I made eye contact with six people and nobody said anything. So i'm back in line thirsty and hungry because your customer service is absolute trash.

I love this place whether it's to stop for lunch, grab some food to take home for dinner, or to pick up groceries. They make great sandwiches too! My family and I have been coming here for years and it keeps getting better as the years go on. Family owned and operated, and all the employees are so great and treat you like family. I highly recommend their Italian sausage- it's the best!!

I can't believe I waited this long to try this place out. I didn't eat the ready-made food, I went in to try their butcher shop. I was NOT disappointed. Well I was disappointed in myself for shopping at chain grocery stores for my steaks and chicken for this long. I prepared some chicken breasts on the grill and I couldn't believe the difference. The breasts were huge, fat-free, and delicious all while being cheaper than the grocery stores. I'll never buy my meats from anywhere else.

I have been visiting Cacciatore's since I was a little girl; tagging along with my father as he purchased everything he needed for his epic meatballs and tomato gravy. It has been many, many years, and I am thrilled that they're still there.
Yes, the store layout has changed over the years, but the quality has remained the same. I do miss the giant barrels of olives that they used to have too!
And now, I carry on the tradition of purchasing what I need, to make my epic meatballs and tomato gravy for my family.
I recommend the stuffed pork chops, and if you like palomilla steaks, you

They have the best meat around. You can buy a whole New York strip cheap and have it cut to the thickness you want and boneless chicken breast 10lb bag for $1.99lb and sometime less when they have sales. It’s on Hanley just off Hillsborough.

This is not the first time I visit this place plus I'm used to having many Italian spots back home up north.I don't know if I arrive at a wrong day,time or what but they are not consistent on having their shelves stocked fully with products I need to make Italian dishes.Today it was lack of FRESH ricotta cheese for lasagne so I returned everything back to the shelves and left.Other than this their other products seem well stocked,fresh and ready to purchase.I rather drive further to their other store near the airport,they have their act together!

My new favorite locals-only Italian market and deli. I have stopped in here over the years just to look around, but a great many changes have been made since my last visit, and now I've become a regular.

In addition to all the standard Italian food supplies they have always carried, they now having a booming sandwich and hot food counter business. I tried their Italian sub special, which they add their homemade olive salad to, and it was delicious.

From their deli counter, I have tried the tuna salad, potato salad, and artichoke salad, all of which were incredibly tasty, and cheaper in price

Even though Cacciatore and Sons has been in existence for generations, this was my first time walking through the doors. I came here on a weekend with my girlfriend after professing that there was a lack of quality delis in the Tampa Bay area. I must have been looking in all of the wrong places because Cacciatore and Sons was exactly what we were in the mood for.

We both ordered the special of the day. An Italian sandwich, pressed with an olive salad in the middle. Truly a one of a kind and unique taste, the sandwich was enormous and delicious. One sandwich could have easily been more than enough

I have been coming here for years... mostly just to buy meat. They have awesome italian sausage, made right there! You can buy a huge variety of different meats, all of which are excellent quality, and fresh. They also have a large selection of italian and latin canned goods, pastas, and other items.

The food bar they have looks delicious also, but I have not tried it yet.

I used to get some killer Rum Cake here (that was made locally) but the last time I was in, they said that the person that made it stopped making it.. so sad face for that! :( Even the staff said they missed the Rum Cake

Chock-full of delicious Italian food items! So many pastas and cheeses and wines and deli items and meats! It was a happy place this morning with a line at the door 10 minutes before open. Went for 3lb. of Italian sausage to cook up with our traditional Christmas Shells!

This is a great old school Italian and Spanish market. They specialize in meats and make their own sausage. They also have pastas, tins of seafood, olive oil, Spanish and Italian vinous.

Above the registers are photos of the family. There is a also Cacciatore Bros. off Hillsborough in Town & Country that is now run by cousins. The businesses were established by an older generation and are Tampa gems and classic.

The interior is nothing fancy, but the staff war all friendly and helpful and the prices are more than reasonable. There are some very good offerings and I love the history and culture
