| - Perhaps the smallest of all of the "Labs", but by far my favorite. Once you find a spot in the somewhat small private lot, enter and you will find that every inch is packed with Dago-licious goodness .
Upon entering, the deli is on the right. Shame on you if you pass without getting something. Buffalo Mozzarella or Seafood Salads are my weakness here. The rest of the store is an Italian delight. Fresh bread, hard to find peppers, fresh and frozen pastas, beans, expresso, soups, meatballs, cappicola, cheeses, desserts, olives, sauces... If it is quality and it is Italian, Mr. Labriola will have it. And not only grocery items. Hand painted Italian pasta bowls line upper shelves along with stove top expresso makers, pitzell makers and other old world-ly market items.
The check out line is cramped but always enough room for a friendly hello and quick chat. Carry out and boxes are offered to make sure everything makes it home safely. Don't put the groceries too far away from the driver's seat. If you are like me, a little chunk of bread, slice of cheese and salami are necessary for the ride home.
Heck, just writing this review is making my mouth water for Labriola's. How's that for a recommendation?
