In the gastronomic heartland of northern Italy, Annibale Giovanni Ferrari spent his youth cultivating a passion for exceptional food and wine in his family’s specialty food store. Immigrating to America years later, A.G. Ferrari brought with him his insightful background in quality ingredients and founded his own Bay Area specialty market in 1919. Today, A.G. Ferrari Foods stocks a divine selection of imported Italian groceries including cheese, olive oil, house made sauces, mouthwatering family recipes like Nonna Ferrari's meatloaf and delicious eggplant parmesan, and a fine selection of regional Italian wines. The shop carries on the esteemed Ferrari family legacy, winning over generations of patrons with its variety of traditional Italian fare and unparalleled customer service.

Enter any of the Bay Area's A.G. Ferrari Foods, and discover shelves brimming with thoughtfully arranged products. From daily freshly baked bread and balsamic vinegars to rustic pastas and cured meats, every item is carefully made or imported to represent the quality and diversity of Italy's twenty regions. While browsing A.G. Ferrari’s aisles, delight in the array of house-brand goods—popular picks include the house-labeled spicy organic tomato sauce and custom blended Tuscan wine.

For impatient appetites, A.G. Ferrari kindly offers ready-to-eat entrees, sides, and delectable desserts. Made fresh from their own kitchen, the Italian fare is prepared using only the best ingredients and cooked with the skill of any artigiani back in Italy. Regardless of how you choose to indulge, the spirit and conviction of the original A.G. Ferrari’s rings clear: “La qualità non ha tempo,” or “quality is timeless.”
