Family. Love. Food - For Italians, delicious, bountiful meals are a way of life and the dining table is where we bond. It's where families come together, friends are found, memories are made and business is done. Come, step into Italy.
This Italian mecca of decadent foodstuffs is like heaven to serious foodies. Put together a basket filled with goodies, such as gourmet cheeses, meats, stuffed olives and fresh pasta. Or, if you’re in a hurry, order one of their premade gift baskets, with themes such as coffee, cheese lovers, signature Italian and Merry Christmas. Baskets need to be ordered 24 hours in advance and picked up at the southside Italian Centre. It’s a fantastic gift for family, especially if you’re going over to their home during the holidays.
Short on time to prep for your picnic? The Italian Centre sells gourmet party platters of cheeses, meats, panini sandwiches, antipasto, veggies, fruit, charcuterie and desserts. Or, you can create your own deli plate for the picnic by grabbing some fresh-baked olive ciabatta, cannoli and biscotti from the bakery, cured and smoked meats, Mediterranean cheeses, dips and stuffed olives from the deli, or a thin-crust, Neapolitan-style pizza from their pizza counter. Because, really, who wants to eat potato salad for the eighth time this summer?
The Italian Centre offers the ultimate gourmet deli experience. The southside location has a massive selection, with cheeses from around the world, cured and smoked meats, stuffed olives, dips and more. There is also plenty of different kinds of bread for making beautiful Italian sandwiches and subs, plus so many gorgeous baked goods. Shopping there is an experience, and one that can take up an entire afternoon, as you sample and sift your way through the entire store.
