| - Eat pasta, run fasta. At least that's the logo at this local Italian specialty grocer and pasta maker. No doubt pastabilities (ha!) abound for carb loading here, whether for your latest endurance run or for your Sunday dinner food coma.
This is an old-school grocery with a small but amble selection of Italian meats, cheeses, oils, and sweets. They also have a small selection of wines , but the show stoppers are their fresh pastas and sauces. In other words, everything you need for your Italian feast can be had here.
Rather than peruse the cooler and the freezer, I encourage you to check out the large blackboard behind the counter. All the pasta options and sauces are clearly laid out and explained. Just make your selections and tell the staff how much you need or how many are eating. For fresh pasta, the register staff sends your order back to the kitchen staff on a little zip line, who fills the order and zips it back to the register in just a minute. Raviolis are pre-made and frozen. Sauces are either frozen or fresh and in the cooler. No worries, they all taste great.
Fresh salad greens and focaccia breads are also usually available, and located near the register. Do check out the wide selection of olive oils and other jarred goodness located pin the tiny aisles to the right. Pricey? A little; but you'll find things here not available at any other mega-grocery in town.
This is a local gem that any foodie will put on their must-see list. Luckily, they are just as accessible for those looking for a quick mid-week meal to make back home. Buon cibo!
