I don't live in Cleveland anymore, and let me tell you, you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore. Alesci's is still the best Italian deli/grocer I know of. I think about it all the time (I subscribe to their mailing list, even though I'm thousands of miles away, just to see what I'm missing).
Their deli olives in bulk.. .so good. I can't figure out what they put on them that makes them taste so much better than other delis and makes me crave them so much. The way crackheads feel about rock, I feel about Alesci's olives.
I took for granted that grocers would stock a dozen or more types of olive oil; that I should be able to pop over to the store for some truffle oil or truffle salt; or that I could by decent cannolis wherever I'm doing the rest of my grocery shopping. I live in a city of almost 1 million people yet I can't find this stuff at home! I find myself browsing Alesci's web site late at night, wondering how much it would cost to ship a few tins of oil...
