Carbone Fine Food Scores Triple Digit ROAS with Instacart 

In this article, we look at the success Carbone Fine Food has had on Instacart by investing in Instacart Ads.

Using traditional, slow-cooking techniques, Carbone Fine Food crafts premium pasta sauce from top-quality ingredients like the world’s best tasting tomatoes from Italy, grown in volcanic ash and picked by hand. Award-winning chefs Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi oversee the entire sauce process in order to bring the flavors of Carbone restaurants straight to their customers’ homes.

Seizing the Online Opportunity

First launched in March 2021, Carbone Fine Food quickly expanded their distribution to over 14,000 stores nationwide. But even in that short time they recognized the shifting nature of grocery shopping. With a larger percentage of grocery spending moving to online channels, Carbone Fine Food prioritized investment within Instacart.

“It was crucial for us to be present where our consumers are shopping and capture a strong share of voice within our category,” said Tracy Garbowski, EVP of Marketing. “The convenience, quality, and service of Instacart remains best-class within the Industry so it makes a great deal of sense to partner with them.”

Impressive Results on Instacart

Carbone Fine Food’s collaboration with Instacart has been nothing short of exceptional. Their sales growth on the platform has consistently outpaced the overall category, driving impressive results quarter after quarter. The investments made in Instacart Ads have delivered triple-digit return on ad spend (ROAS) and enabled Carbone Fine Food to expand their consumer base, attracting a significant number of new customers.

As an emerging brand, Carbone Fine Food views Instacart Ads not only as a conversion driver but also as a vital tool for building brand awareness.
