On a crisp February morning, the doors of The Bottega at Frankies swung open on 921 Cherokee Avenue, East Nashville, marking a new chapter in the city's culinary scene. This specialty Italian market, an offspring of the famed Brooklyn-based Frankies Spuntino, brings a slice of Italy to the local neighborhood, offering an array of authentic Italian products like pasta, olive oil, cheeses, and wines.

It's more than just a store; it's a bridge to Italy, crafted with love and a deep respect for culinary traditions. The Bottega at Frankies aims to recreate the quintessential Italian market experience, blending imported delicacies with locally sourced products. Shelves are lined with culinary goods ranging from cured meats to fresh pastas, not to mention the exclusive Frankies 457 Specialty Foods line.
