Cugini’s Italia Boutique Market has opened its doors with a simple idea: bring the feeling of a neighborhood Italian market to the coast. Created by partners Marcus and Toni, alongside their wives, Shereen and Lavi, the market is a true family effort rooted in years of restaurant experience and a shared love of Italian food and culture. The name “Cugini,” which means cousins in Italian, reflects both the partnership and the welcoming, family-style atmosphere they hope to create.
