The popular Italian market and restaurant worth the hike up to Palm Beach Gardens is heading down south for a second location in Boca Raton. 

The market will be the anchor tenant at Glades Station, an up-and-coming shopping plaza located at the corner of Glades Road and Dixie Highway. What you’ll find in the market: fresh cheeses, vegetables, to-go pizzas, made-to-order sandwiches, imported Italian goods, and more. 

As for Carmine’s Trattoria, the white-table-cloth experience offers a menu of Italian classics, such as chicken francese, linguine vongole, lasagna, calamari, veal chop, steaks, and hundreds of domestic, Italian, and French wines served by the glass and bottle. 

Patience, though, because we’ll have to wait until Spring 2027 to enjoy it all. 

Owned by Carmine Giardini, he opened his first market in Pembroke Pines in 1972, then offered a seated experience with Carmine’s La Trattoria in Palm Beach Gardens in 1988.
