HISTORY
Avedano's took over a space formerly occupied by Cicero's Meats, a family-owned market that opened in **** and served the neighborhood for several decades. The building has been a butcher shop or market for the better part of the last century; the original shop having opened on the site in ****. Many of the antique furnishings and equipment still survive and have been incorporated into the current design, lending the shop an authentic period feel. The new owners have restored the shop to its former splendor, including the vintage neon sign, installed by the Cicero's predecessors, Bleuss Meats, which proudly shines once again in Bernal Heights.

The name Avedano's is derived from the maiden name of Tia's grandmother Flora, a first-generation Italian American whose family immigrated to San Francisco from Italy only days before the infamous earthquake of ****. The name evokes family, tradition, and an important era of San Francisco's history. Many of the dishes on the prepared foods menu were inspired by Flora Avedano.
