Yes the prices are quite high but the service ans quality is quite good. Personally, I like the advantage of walking over and buying items that I don't find in a regular grocery store. Carlo has a variety of cheeses and always gives good suggestions. I also like the fact that he knows his products well. He sometimes brings in specialty cheeses like sheep ricotta and goats cheese with truffle. He also carries proscuitto from Italy and a variety of home-style cured meats.
The best is that you can order an sandwich to be made for you!
Mmmmmmmm
