A slice of NYC in Georgia. The olives taste straight from Italy. The family who owns and runs this establishment could not be nicer and there are always some fantastic treats that can be found. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed
This is the best if you want authentic Italian food. Bakery is amazing. Also the chicken salad is wonderful I feel as if I am back in Little Italy in Chicago!
What a great place! Good food and a great selection of Italian wines. We came late to the party because everyone here are regulars. I've never seen a place where everyone is so happy - the customers and the staff. This is going into our regular food and wine rotation.
Great sandwiches - good authentic Italian treats . Limited stock , hopefully more variety comes in.
A little slice of Italy tucked away in Dunwoody. Truly a gem! Go to the back to order fresh sandwiches. The place is packed at lunch but calm after 3pm for casual browsing.
Great little Italian market! My friend and I went and had a sandwich to eat on their patio with a bottled Italian beer. It was pouring after we ate so went back inside and got a glass of wine and back to patio.
My IG reels have been showing me Italy travel reels. There was one specific reel where someone was eating a sfogliattele with a cappuccino for breakfast, so naturally I had to find where I can find this beautiful pastry. I googled sfogliattele in Atlanta and this place came up. Tucked away in an unambiguous shopping center is this wonderful Italian grocery/deli/restaurant. It has a very small seating with maybe 7 tables. Once you enter, you're greeted with pasta (both fresh and boxed), bottles of wine, sauces and Italian candies. You start on the right once you enter the door, which will take you to some fresh items and encased antipasto where you will also order from their menu. This is an old school, no frill kind of place. They have tons of hero options, pastas, salad. During this trip, I ordered an Italian beef hero with mild giardanera, portabella hero, caprese and tomato salad, cup of pasta fagioli and of course sfogliattele. They print a ticket and you pay at another counter. This place was packed with people waiting for their food and getting fresh deli meat. Between placing an order, paying for my food and getting my food only lasted 10ish mins. Service was snappy and effective. The worst part was waiting to dig in what I ordered when I got home; I lived a solid 35 mins away. When I was able to dig in, it did not disappoint. My personal favorite was the pasta fagioli - it was tasty and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of pasta and beans. My portabello hero had this wonderful crusty bread with peppers and mozzarella. My husband enjoyed his Italian beef hero but thought it was small. The mozzarella caprese salad was decent, I could have skipped it or maybe because it was in a to go container so the salad greens were a little wilted by the time I got to it. The obvious star of the show here is the sfogliattele, which quite literally weighed 2 lb each. It's not fresh as I hoped but I snagged the last two they were selling for the day. It has this wonderful citrus cream, which the outside was still flaky but it was more chewy. All this did cost around $42, which is not too pricey but small places like this need to stick around so I didn't mind spending money. I highly recommend this family-owned business.
I feel like I've been living under a rock all this time. All my cool, OG Yelper friends already reviewed this place... 10+ years ago. Not only that, this place has been here for like 30+ years. I didn't know that. I guess I never explored far into Dunwoody. This is a tiny place. They're able to cram everything from wines, cheeses, a deli, a cafe, bakery, and a dining area. They know how to maximize the space they have. When you walk in it's kinda crazy, they have a ton of stuff and feels overwhelming. The deli is in the back, so head there. Just turn right when you enter and head to the back. They serve sandwiches, pizzas, soups, and pasta salads. They also have some dessert items. You order at the counter, they take your name, and then they give you a ticket. You give the ticket to the cashier and she takes your money and gives you your drink. And yes, you can get just plain water for free, if you wish. They're not strict, authentic Italian. They have your favorite Italian American items like Meatball subs. I was glad because pure Italian sandwiches are boring. The sandwiches are great. The bread was fresh and chewy. The ingredients were also fresh and tasted great. The pasta salad was great too. You can dine in, but be warned, the space is limited. It would be better to take out than to eat in. They encourage sitting with strangers if you can't find an empty table. Also, they don't seem to have a public bathroom. So if you need to pee, poop, or wash your hands, you might not be able to. The people here are friendly. I liked it. I would love to try out the rest of their menu.
I passed the coworker lunch test. There's definitely pressure to find good food when going out with coworkers. Everyone seemed super pleased with this local spot! This spot is a pretty hole in the wall place. You can get fresh deli at one side of the counter and fresh pasta and sandwiches at the back counter. Apparently the fan favorite is the #7 which is pretty much an Italian. This made the choice more simple as the old boss and I just picked this. The boys selected something else which they said were fairly good. The sandwich comes in an 8 inch baguette-type bread. I guess you can either substitute the oil and vinegar for mayo (I think they only have spicy mayo according to a coworker). It was a subtle drizzle of oil and vinegar, nothing that would make the sandwich super soggy. I devoured the #7 so I forgot to snap a picture. The stoffato, salami, mortadella, capicollo, and provolone were neatly packed and tasted oh so good. The sandwich wasn't toasted, but the bread was thick and chewy as I'm thinking it's made in-house. It was a really fresh sandwich. None of these ingredients were overpowering. If you aim for The UPS Store then E. 48th Street Market will be a couple of doors down. Though there are table and chairs around, I see people to-going their lunch. Would I come again?! Yes!
