A Little Italy institution where fresh mozzarella is pulled by hand every morning, more than 75 imported Italian cheeses fill the cases, and cured meats are sliced to order behind a perpetually crowded counter. The staff can tell you exactly where a cheese came from and why it matters, while the shelves are packed with enough pastas, sauces, and hard-to-find imports to turn a quick errand into a longer expedition.
