This emporium dedicated to all things food (and more!) from Italy opened a mega-outpost on Fifth Avenue near 23rd Street. It’s huge with different areas dedicated to all sorts of foods from Italy: cheese, cold cuts, bread, pizza, gelato, jam, coffee and so on. There are many offerings that are not well-known in New York. The pasta section – both fresh and dry – is spectacular. You can shop and, cart in tow, stop to have something to eat or drink. Prices are highish but if you’re looking for Italian ingredients this is a place worth visiting.
