Ciao Bella Market Bringing a Taste of Italy to Downtown Perry
From deli sandwiches and cappuccinos to imported Italian goods, Ciao Bella Market is set to bring Italy to Perry’s Chalet Lofts.
A new Italian retail experience with deli and coffee service, Ciao Bella Market, is coming to downtown Perry, Georgia. The shop will be located on the ground floor of the Chalet Lofts at 1013 Northside Dr #102, Perry, GA 31069. While an exact opening date is not yet finalized, co-owner Telisa Asaro told Business Debut that they plan to launch in 90 days or so, as it still has pending architectural approvals and buildout.
The shop will combine pantry staples, home goods, bath and body products, and other authentic items imported directly from Italy. “We're all about authenticity. We really want to get a menu that you would find in Italy,” Asaro said.
Joining the retail section will be a small deli offering a rotating menu of sandwiches, espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos and macchiatos, and a selection of pastries. “We're planning on starting kinda small,” Asaro noted. “We may expand that in the future, but starting out, we're trying to keep it simple, see what people like.” In addition to daily offerings, the shop will also feature “Bella Boxes,” a curated gift box of hard-to-find Italian goods, perfect for birthdays or special occasions.

The shop will also host events, tastings, and classes, and may be available to rent for private gatherings. Once open, Ciao Bella Market plans to operate Tuesday through Saturday, from roughly 8 am–6 pm, with a focus on breakfast and lunch hours.
Asaro’s husband, Daniele Asaro, is a native of Italy. “We were planning on retiring there in the next several years, actually,” she shared. “But, then my daughter had two sons, and we're so involved with them and we're so close with them that we can't go. So we thought, but how about we bring Italy here?”
The couple already owns Float Robins, a wellness center in Warner Robins that offers sensory deprivation, halotherapy, and more. Ciao Bella Market is their latest venture and a tribute to their Italian roots.
