The married shop owners, Enriqio and Annarita, are so friendly and were both so patient with us. Annarita's English is good and fluent and I had to do some combination of gesturing and guessing with Enriqio. We ended up coming here three times for salami sandwiches. We told Annarita the rough specifications: focaccia, Milanese salami, a medium cheese and sun dried tomatoes, and they made it happen. It cost about the same as a subway sandwich but we felt we got so much more! Delicious and great service. We will be back!

We spent 3 weeks in this town and got to know many of the vendors and this place was, by far, such a pleasure to come and shop. The family who runs it is very accommodating, speak English ( for all the American and British travelers who come here) and carry so many authentic Italian products. We even purchased several jars of one sauce to take back to CA. One of the best parts of this place is Sunny, the young woman who works there- what a pleasant, helpful and kind person. She will make you want to come back and shop here just to have her help you. I hope she gets some credit for the good work she does there.

The servers were so kind and everything came out very quickly. We found seats immediately, even during peak dinner hours. It's conveniently located in the center by the train station, so it's a nice patio for people-watching. They were also extremely dog-friendly! The bathrooms were also really clean.

I then said, "Sorry, I was confused by the large gelato statue outside," and he responded again, "No, no, this is a restaurant!" with an unfortunate sarcastic attitude.
