| - I can't complain about a thing here - except that it's so popular, the wait at the Deli line can be a while during the peak hours. They have lots of staff who are more than eager to help, and you can do some shopping while you wait on your orders. Everything is fresh and high quality. Because of this, we do NOT buy any deli items at the supermarket during our weekly trips, and always make a separate stop to get them at Labriola's.
Another plus of this place is that their selection of Italian specialty items is impressive. Of particular interest is their range of authentic Italian pastas, of which we are big fans. Again, freshness is of the utmost importance, and they deliver on this promise. The freezer case is full of amazing things, like tiramisu, wedding soup, high quality ravioli, and lots more - certainly a big draw for our family.
Finally, I have to give a special nod to what makes these stores truly special - the PEOPLE!!!! Service is always with a smile and always with significant knowledge on the subject matter. No matter what my recipes have required, the folks at the Monroeville and Aspinwall stores have always helped me get what I needed in the most friendly and professional manner possible. (I did see another interview where they felt the folks at the Deli were a little cold - maybe it's because I'm a "regular," but this has never happened to me. They're great. Of course, I shall be back again! Probably in the next day or two - even though I went yesterday! AMAZING!
