| - Walked in here for some pantry needs, walked out with amazing fresh figs which i stuffed with walnuts and a dollop of soy cream cheese instead of goat cheese. Great dessert.
Also found some wonderful imported olive oils, pastas, canned tomatoes and what is that wonderful smell coming from behind the counter? The deli girl was frying hot peppers in olive oil. I'll take that entire pan of peppers and a loaf of bread and make a meal of that! Unfortunately she was just making lunch for the staff, after the peppers were cooked she added crumbled hot sausage and about a dozen eggs and made a huge frittata. I wonder how she got my father's recipe? Oh, wait, all Italians make this.
Sorry, let me get back to the review, It's so tiny here that i and two other customers were a crowd, but Groceria Merante has the authentic flavors of Italy. Cheeses, charcuterie, oils, vegetables, breads, pastas, and canned items. Wonderful hidden gem on Bates Street.
