We stock a wide variety of fine olive oils and balsamic vinegars, from the least expensive, every day bottles, to sublime divine limited editions. All available for sampling prior to purchasing.
We carry imported, hard to find foods from Italy, Spain and Greece, including Tuscan honeys, tins of Spanish sea foods, salted capers, and Greek olive oil.
We stock several hard-to-find brands of imported Italian pastas, including Latini, Rustichella and Marella; our multi-colored pastas are as beautiful to eat as they are to look at, and they make fabulous gifts.
