Imma and Mario Caporaso established a continental deli on St Bernards Rd, Rostrevor in 1972. They were committed to building a business based on friendly, personalised service and a range of quality produce. Imma and Marios two children, Angela & John, grew up in the shop and worked on weekends. John rejoined the family business in 1998 with his wife Rose, and a vision to build on the cultural empire established by his parents for over 25 years. John moved the business to a larger, purpose built store down the road. From a no-frills small corner store emerged a gourmet food emporium. The new store, Mercato, opened in June 2005.
