Most of the renowned and best-known Italian brands are stocked here. The deli counter has helpful staff, who remain relatively patient while you try to make your choice from some (potentially) unfamiliar items. Even bread is sold freshly sliced and by weight - I grew to love their unsalted rustic, ciabatta-style loaf (much tastier and more versatile than you might imagine). There is an amazing choice of Ricotta (prepared from different milks) and plenty more to encourage you to become an adventurous foodie. There is also a small, useful choice of household items available.

Staff are very pleasant and helpful (although it's preferable if you can communicate in Italian); they're quite briskly efficient though - especially close to lunch-time - when they close for a couple of hours break.
