Essentials
Locally owned and operated, also a great place to get an espresso or any one of their traditional Italian dishes. Olives, deli meats, homemade sauces (really!) and nice people who give you the time of day. Come in the early fall and you can pick up a bushel of tomatoes to take home with you for making your own sauce.
