The Italian Market runs six blocks of South 9th Street through Bella Vista, from Fitzwater to Wharton. Open-air produce stalls set the streetscape, Sarcone's bakes its brick-oven bread, and Di Bruno Bros has run its cheese caves since 1939. It is the oldest continuously operating outdoor market eating in the city.
