Dominic Alcaro

For more than four decades, Dominic Alcaro has helped carry forward one of Atlantic City’s most enduring small-business traditions. Since taking ownership of Barbera Seafood Market in the 1980s, Alcaro has remained committed to providing quality seafood, affordable prices and friendly service to generations of Atlantic City families.

Located in the historic Ducktown neighborhood, Barbera Seafood Market has been a fixture in Atlantic City for more than a century. Under Alcaro’s leadership, the market has continued to serve as both a trusted neighborhood business and a gathering place for the community, with generations of customers making Barbera part of their daily and weekly routines.

Alcaro’s commitment to Atlantic City extends beyond operating a successful business. He has built his legacy around serving the community that has supported Barbera for generations, making the market a lasting example of the resilience, loyalty and neighborhood pride that define Atlantic City’s small business community.

In recognition of that longstanding commitment, Barbera Seafood Market was honored with the Resiliency Award through the City of Atlantic City’s Keep It Local campaign. The recognition celebrated Alcaro’s role in preserving an important piece of Atlantic City history.

Today, Dominic Alcaro and Barbera Seafood Market represent the value of local businesses, the importance of community connections and the enduring spirit of a city that continues to move forward while honoring its traditions.
