OUR STORY
Harmoni Market is the tasty fusion of urban life and Mediterranean style, a veritable playground for food and wine lovers! Harmoni Market was inspired by the simple, delicious and wholesome cuisines of the Mediterranean and the realities of our time-starved society, where few of us have the time or desire to cook anymore. So, we combined a Bistro, Gourmet Market, Prepared Meal Pavilion and Wine & Coffee Bar all under one roof. We call this fun and convenient combination an “Artisan Meal Market,” a one-stop shop for wholesome, delicious and affordable dinners for you and your family.
Our mantra at Harmoni Market is “Viva Bene!” or Live Well! It is part of the Italian saying “Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often,” three simple yet powerful words of advice to add a little harmony in our lives. We know your life is hectic leaving little time to think about or prepare wholesome delicious foods for your family. Let the Harmoni Market team and our passion for food, wine and guest service ensure that your next meal with family and friends is truly special.

While living in Europe during the 1990’s, I was fortunate to travel throughout much of the Mediterranean – the south of France, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Greece. I was amazed (and yes, a bit jealous) of the lifestyle the people of the Mediterranean enjoyed – sun, water, street cafés and fresh markets, delicious fresh food, and smiling family and friends breaking bread and raising a glass at every dining occasion. After selling almost all of our restaurants in Europe and returning to the US, I found that our hectic American lifestyle left little time for the most important treasure – delicious, wholesome food, wonderful wine, great friends, and plenty of conversation and laughs around the table.
That is why I started Harmoni Market. We want to become your living room and dining room, kitchen and pantry. You work too hard to have to worry about shopping and cooking. Let us create that comfortable European atmosphere for food shopping and dining, and you focus on enjoying a laugh or two with your friends and family.
As we like to say, “Viva Bene!” |

When given the opportunity to join Harmoni Market and this amazing new concept, I couldn’t wait to jump on board to help grow and franchise the concept nationwide. I helped build the local Panera Bread franchise to forty plus units here in Central Florida and see the same potential at Harmoni Market. I'm lucky to be surrounded by such a passionate and knowledgeable team of "foodies." Our foodie phanatics are ready to help you find that perfect wine or cheese or help you assemble a gourmet meal for at-home dining. Our bistro servers and bartenders will help you select from our delicious Mediterranean-inspired bistro menu and expansive wine list for your dine-in experience. Whether it's gourmet to-go or a casual, yet refined dining experience, let me and my Harmoni Market team take care of you tonight!
