Mama Bella Gourmet Market & Café will celebrate its official grand opening at 518 S. Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach with three days of scrumptious specials from Friday, October 1 – October 3, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily.
Guests visiting Mama Bella during the grand opening weekend can expect tastings and samples from their gourmet menu and wine selections, 20% discounts on all non-perishable items (excluding alcohol), drawings for $25 Mama Bella Gift Cards, and more.
Named after owner/developer Vladimir Fulman’s beloved mother, Mama Bella, the 75-seat, 3,750-square foot culinary emporium is a curated collection of the world’s finest gourmet foods, spices, and imported artisanal cuisine and ingredients. Mama Bella features a contemporary café and bar, European-inspired gourmet market and deli, international wines, specialty stone pizza, and an alfresco patio.
“We wanted to bring something new and uniquely European to West Palm Beach,” said Vladimir Fulman, owner of Mama Bella. “Like our city’s diverse neighborhoods, we want to celebrate ethnic diversity in every bite at Mama Bella.”
The Market
The full-service, European-inspired market and scratch kitchen rolls out a rotating, counter-service menu with an emphasis on global cuisine, including Italian, Russian, and coastal Mediterranean. Highlights include chicken croquettes, beef and mint cabbage rolls, and veal-and-beef meatballs. Dine-in and carryout options are plentiful, and include cured meats and salumi, artisan cheeses, seafood, chicken, as well as salad and soup options, homemade pasta, and sumptuous desserts.
The Café
Mama Bella’s sun-splashed café and bar is the perfect spot to convene over coffee or energy smoothies and a protein-packed power breakfast, including fork-tender eggs Benedict, vanilla brioche French toast, and fluffy pancakes, as well bespoke omelets, smoked salmon sandwiches, and a variety of Danish, muffins, and bagels. Diners can grab a sub or sandwich during lunch service including hot and cold creations like Mama’s Meatball Special, Rueben, or BLTA (thick-cut bacon, lettuce, beefsteak tomato, and smashed avocado on 7-grain bread). Dinner features culinary classics like Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Kiev, Spaghetti & Meatballs, and Vegetarian Lasagna.
The Wines
The stunning wine room touts over 100+ national and international wines and champagne, featuring classic and lesser-known varietals from Italy, France, Greece, Israel, and Lithuania. Akin to the wine room, visitors can stock up on to-go essentials and tasty snacks, all which feature a transcontinental twist.
Hours are Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday–Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
