| - You better believe the "super" part of the Italian Supermarket name, cuz that is indeed the case. Super selection, and super extras, which only serve to enhance the allure of the place.
For my purposes, "extras" means unexpected.
Firstly, I did not expect there to be an espresso bar at the front of the market, with a half dozen tables or so to sit and sip at.
Secondly, I definitely did not expect to find a traditional wood-burning oven onsite. It turns out that they serve homemade pizzas, but only on Saturdays, and only till 4pm. It's a narrow window of opportunity for sure, but one I plan on slithering through myself. If it tastes nearly as good as the pictures I saw, it's bound to deliver!
Thirdly, I sure didn't expect to find that the supermarket serves up hot lunches from Monday to Saturday, 10:30-3:00, with an ever-changing menu, all made fresh in store by someone named "Nonna Filomena". There's a picture of her in the market, and while I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, that lady just looked like she could cook!
All these extras, plus a full sized grocery store with everything you'd find at the Safeway, if you were in Italy.
