| - I was been watching and waiting and watching and waiting and hoping this place will open.. FINALLY!
I went there yesterday to stock up on some cheese / olives and I was not disappointed. The location is ideal, very central to everything. The building oozes with Italian flavour. The floors are old and rickety, the walls lined with amazing olive oils, cheeses, olives, biscotti, breads, pasta. If you're concerned about buying something you will hate, doesn't sweat it, they have samples of almost everything. If there aren't samples available, chances are they will pull something out for you if you request it.
Something I found that was unique was the ability to grab a bottle and fill it with Olive oil from a big vat. Once you're bottle runs dry, you can just head on back for a refill.
They also have a flower section in case you forgot to pick something up for a dinner party.
If you aren't looking for a groceries but a snack, they have a full cafe/ sandwich joint. The sandwiches looked great. I cannot wait to go try it out for lunch.
