Great for me and my fridge, but not so good for my wallet. Although they stock excellent quality products, it is considerably more expensive than other supermarkets. Unless money is no issue, this is a place to buy special ingredients - an excellent ham, a fabulous cheese or a smooth pate - rather than to do the weekly shop. Ferraros has a much more extensive range of stock than it initially appears. If you walk to the back corner, there is a whole room devoted to wonderful cheese, a chilled section for salad leaves and delicate vegetables, a shelf with gourmet pastas, oil and vinegars and a collection of mahogany coloured chocolate truffles. It's worth going just to have a look, even if you have no intention of buying anything. The special offers are definitely worth taking note of - when I last visited, they were selling three new-season mangoes for $6.99, which, when you consider their excellent quality, is a real bargain. Also on offer were punnets of figs and blueberries - 2 for $10; another great saving. The staff are very friendly and helpful, making this a truly great food-shopping experience. If only money were no object and calories didn't exist - I'd be buying and eating the food from here at every opportunity.

For lunch we chose the 3 sausages with salad option and the pasta with fresh tomatoes and cheese.

The sausages were also amazing combining herbs with succulent mince. Can't wait to go back and venture back here for my small goods purchases.

People from far off places visit Pino for his quality products. His sausages are of the highest quality and people who know this really appreciate what he does. Hand crafted with pride Pino and his sons,Fabiano and Marco, they offer over hundreds of varieties sausages and salami.They use traditional methods passed on by different generations to Pino and his family. there is also a huge variety of other fine food such as cheese, olive oil, biscuits, Dry pasta, coffee and what not. I happened to taste their Antipasto plate at an Italian friends party and boy it was brilliant. Yes its a bit pricey but trust me its worth it for the quality , the taste and the love and passion that's gone into each one of its products. The Italian particularly love this place . And as Pino puts it - they know the art of manufacturing fine foods. This is the perfect place for a connoisseur of fine food !

Lamonica's IGA in Haberfield is where you would flock when you need anything Italian related. Think…read morebuffalo mozzarella, fresh prosciutto, hot salami, fragrant parmigiano and marinated olives. It is the closest thing you will find to a real Italian Deli this side of the equator. With the never-ending number of nonnas and nonnos waiting to get their hands on slices of Italian heaven, it is no wonder that this IGA has the highest turnover of produce in Sydney. And for us, this equates to ultimate freshness. Due to incredible popularity, it is inevitable for one to take a ticket and wait in line. My advice is to use this time wisely to look and ponder at what purchases you are going to make from the extensive array of food on offer. Trust me, you will need it. Despite the length of the line, the deli assistants always insist on spending time with you, helping you out, giving you fresh samples to taste and ultimately making sure you go home satisfied. Also on offer is a range of other food that you could find in other supermarkets (fresh fruit, pasta, sauces, bread etc), but with the attentive service and guarantee on fresh produce, why would you dare shop anywhere else? And who knows, in between the time it takes you to pick your bananas and grab a jar down from a shelf, you might even receive a marriage proposal. Albeit from an old Italian man, but a marriage proposal nonetheless. So for an experience with a little more heart and a bit more bang for your buck, try Lamonica's in Haberfield.

All cold meat cuts including the usual prosciutto, and some really pricey versions of it, Ham off the bone, bacon, 'French ham', Coppa, etc. Pate. - enough said. Bread! Awesome selection of Sour dough, Rye, French stick, buns, cobs and loaves. They have fruits and veg. Carefully picked out produce like Witlof. Water cress, really big leafy Basil bunches, a fantastic array of Tomato varieties. Many different types of Mushroom, and the thing that really made me come back after the first time. I finally found a supply Dutch cream potatoes here. (Only the best potato variety ever) In the vast selection of fridges you can find Duck and Goose fat. Gourmet frozen wontons like Peking duck and chive. High end frozen pasty and ready made pies. Olive oil, and Dukka. Balsamic, home made sauces and Australian goods.

I walked into G & M Corner shop and moseyed on down their isles. A quaint little corner shop, chock-a-block full of packaged foods and products necessary for day to day living. I came to their pie oven but it was empty, "Oh no!" My heart sank into an endless, hellish pit of despair, "Alas poor pie, I knew him not." But then from the corner of my ears, I heard the sweet angelic voice of the shopkeeper barking at me in a heightened pitch, "You want pie?" He asked. I nodded, unable to speak, such was my desperation and anguish over this pie that may never be. "I get you pie." He said and then walked over to the freezer and took out a pie, one which he quickly nuked and handed to me in a paper towel. Sure it wasn't a gourmet pie or anything, but remember, this is a corner shop not a restaurant and the message to take from this particular story is one about kindness and helpfulness and going the extra mile to satisfy the customer who so clearly needed some meat wrapped in pastry, A.K.A. Pie. Shop keep, I shall canonise you, the patron saint of pastry.

Furthermore, if you're gluten intolerant and living in Summer Hill, then you're really lucky, as this deli has a fantastic range of gluten free (gf) products.

They've got heaps of deli meats and cheeses in their display fridges and are one of the few places I've found in Sydney to sell Raclette ($39 per kilo). Now all I need is to find somewhere that sells Raclette grills... This deli doubles as a cafe and sells decent Schibello coffees for only $2 - probably the cheapest espresso you'll get in Sydney.

The fish was cooked right and the grill marks were spot on, however Barramundi like the Tilapia was quite bland. So I added the Peri Peri sauce it became a little sweeter. TheChips or Fries were crisp and delicious better than your fast food fries, and the tomato sauces was sweet without all the additives.
