For thirty seven years and counting, Guidos Fresh Marketplace has been the premier purveyor of quality produce in Berkshire County and neighboring areas. In 1979, brothers Chris and Matt Masiero combined their backgrounds in culinary arts and produce retailing to christen the original Guidos. From this humble roadside stand on Route 7 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the Masiero brothers set about the business of bringing exceptionally fresh, robust produce to Western Massachusetts.\nWithin the brief span of two years, the Masiero brothers outgrew their little seasonal market. In 1983, just south of the original Guidos on Route 7 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Matt and Chris debuted Guidos Fresh Marketplace, where vendors specializing in meat, fish, flowers and prepared foods joined forces with produce to assemble a comprehensive, old-world style food emporium. The marketplace soon became a destination for the discriminating food shopper, drawing Guidos fans from near and far.\nGuidos harmoniously blends classic marketplace atmosphere with up to the minute goods and services. Bella Flora beautifies each store with lush, fresh cut flowers, seasonal plants, gifts and homegoods. Bella Flora, a full service florist, welcomes and delivers custom orders for all occasions. Their gift baskets are always delicious and welcomed for all occasions.
