What makes it special: A true Italian market experience uptown, with friendly owners, imports, and overstuffed sandwiches in a tiny, family-run space.
Who should go: Home cooks and families building easy Italian dinners or picnic spreads.
When to visit: Daytime hours before closing so you can browse calmly and ask questions.

Insider tip: Ask what cheeses and salumi are just in from Arthur Avenue; they’ll often slice samples and steer you to the best buys for the week.
