One of the best sandwiches I think I've ever had, and their selection of pasta sauces is on a whole other level. read more

Cornucopia - Delis Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

A charming little Italian grocery and deli that's definitely worth a stop. The sandwiches are some of the best I've had in a while, and the cannoli were absolutely delicious. The man behind the counter was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. They also carry a great selection of unique items imported from Italy--things you won't typically find at a regular grocery store. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more sandwiches, grab a coffee drink, and of course, more cannoli! read more

Walk inside and you know there is something special about Cornucopia. Imported Italian provisions abound and the smells pull you toward the counter. Choose any sandwich- they will be one of the best you have ever - yes dear reader - have eaten. The tuna - light moist and flavorful with tomatoes and a little bit of balsamic vinegar between fresh Italian baguette. Still hungry? Try the turkey with smoked Gouda. Seriously, two of the best sandwiches you will ever eat. Great reminder to stay curious about trying new places. Who knew this place was much a gem. Enjoy! read more

Expensive, I went in for a sandwich, I wish I could remember which one it was, I remember is $21... and worth every penny. The meats and cheeses were all fantastic and the bread, I'll just say the whole thing was sublime. Of course I picked up a few other items, some pasta, amazing biscotti and a bag of Italian potato chips, paprika flavor. Thin, greaseless, rich potato flavor. Nothing I've had from all of the different American brands I have tried, and I am sure I have tried almost all of them, come close. Next visit, I will spend a lot more time perusing the exotic offerings of the properly monikered Cornucopia. read more

This Market has almost every edible from Italy and the Middle East, including (drum roll) Italian Pastrami, which is not at all like kosher pastrami. You can read all about it at John tanner bbq blog, just search "cornucopia" read more

Cornucopia - Italian Pastrami sub - Delis Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Saturday 11/11/2023 My friend highly recommended this spot for their Italian pastrami sandwich which he regarded as "the best sandwich ever". The service was solid but based on what I had heard and saw it really seems like the customer service is very friendly and great. I got the Italian pastrami sandwich which ended up being 15$ which is pretty expensive in my opinion for a smaller sandwich. I didn't think the sandwich was the "best ever" (like my friend said) but it was still good nonetheless. read more

Walking in I was thrown off because it wasn't the typical deli or food store, there are a lot of products in a small space. But once I adjusted, and saw all the Italian ingredients they had I was half sold. The owner had the kindest way about him, over all good energy. He made me to delicious cannolis and a sandwich. I have tried the Pastrami Sandwhich and Bresaola, I enjoyed both. That huge because I have always not like sandwiches but these are different the bread is fresh and the balsamic vinegar is good quality. I will say I think there may be a lack of consistency in with how the sandwiches are based on what ingredients are there. The products are more expensive than they would be at the grocery store by a significant amount. That's not to say I would never buy from there again, but I would only get items I can't get anywhere else. read more

I love to come in here for the specialty imported items but I tried the sandwiches today. The tuna sandwich was a religious experience to say the least and the bresola was delightful. Probably the best sandwiches I have ever had. The cannolis are also better than some I had in Italy. I honestly wish I had tried the food here sooner! read more

Came in here while waiting for the car in the shop and enjoyed looking at all the various items for purchase: different types of pastas, sauces, sardines, oils, etc. Met the owner Santina who is a lovely guy. Offered me to try a sesame cookie. Learned that he's half Egyptian, half Italian and his Arabic name was the same as my name. Really homey traditional store. read more

The sandwiches are top notch. The store charming. The owner the kindest man. BUT he closes shop on an irregular schedule for personal needs and has no backup plan. So. Often one goes....and boom. It's closed. read more

A place with amazing Italian products! I highly recommend getting the best products:-)

Really, really, really good cannoli. Provably the best I've ever had. The owner is super friendly.

I love this place so much you have no idea. The best Italian sandwiches you can get out of Italy, and the store has so many unique Italian things you can't get anywhere else. The owner is such a sweetheart and saves snacks for neighborhood dogs. I bring visitors here all the time read more

If you have lived in Italy, or spent any extended period of time in Italy, this store will feel familiar and welcoming. The store is filled with grocer specialties imported mostly from Italy, but there are also some imports from surrounding European countries. The real stars are the deli and desserts. This is not a bargain basement meat establishment. The meat and cheese are imported from overseas, and the prices are going to reflect that, but when I ate the sandwich it was so nicely balanced. HUGE plus for having mozzarella di bufala on the caprese for my Napoli people . Nice fresh baked desserts, and on demand filled cannolis. The owner is an absolute gem. I will be frequenting this establishment for many times to come! No pictures because I scarfed my food down. read more

Get a fresh cannoli and peach soda and you'll be fine. The owner is chill. Love this little shop.

This place is a hidden gem in Bethesda ^ I went for their sfogliatella and cannolis after seeing reviews and was not disappointed ! The cannoli filling is added freshly by the store clerk and absolutely delicious! You can by them by the piece as well^ If you're in Bethesda you must stop by ^ They also have a huge variety of cookies that u can ask to try before buying ^ Edit: sfogliatella ... 4.99 Cannoli ...4.99 read more

We are new to the DMV and found this store on a whim. It is amazing. We ordered several sandwiches, cookies, jam, and some other packaged products. High recommend! This place is a gem! read more

Love how much care and attention the owner puts into making the sandwiches! We got four different types and each range around $14 to $16. The sandwiches we got were Bresaola, Italian Pastrami, Caprese and Italian Tuna, and they were all delicious!! I would say my personal favorite is the Caprese tho. My reason for that is in the freshness of the tomatoes. I've had some bad tomatoes over the years, so when I encounter nice ones, I definitely appreciate them. Love that they use fresh ingredients and choose to serve delicious Italian foods read more

Three and a half stars. Prosciutto di parma sandwich ($9.99; prices shown are tax-included) was ready within minutes. Baguette is thin and semi-crusty, briefly swabbed with balsamic vinegar and EVOO. Fresh organic greens, a fairly nice provolone cheese. Generously piled with prosciutto, to my delight. I want to try their dinner pastas! Most of the pastries and cookies are on open display. The germaphobe in me cringes to wonder how many children have wandered through and sneezed without covering their mouths. Doesn't help that I've seen their baked goods stored overnight under a loose plastic sheet. Tables are arranged along the side, making their shelved inventory during dining hours. Pesto, Nutella, ink linguini, regular pastas, peppers, olives, sauces, balsamic vinegars, various oils-- EVOO, truffle, lemon, porcini. Rounding up for the specialty dry goods. read more

I always come back here every time I'm back in DC. Absolute top quality sandwiches and ingredients. They also have a cute little market with all the Italian specialities you'd ever want. Great owner/staff as well. If you're in the mood for an Italian sandwich, this is the place. read more

Top notch Italian specialty store. Santino is so welcoming and friendly. I asked about pastiera (Neapolitan Easter pie) and he told me he was to receive some the next day from Italy. Sure enough, I picked it up and shared it with my Italian-American family on Easter. HUGH HIT! Great shop! Great service! Grazie, Santino! read more

Drove here from Herndon to try this place out because it's highly rated. They literally only have 3 options for sandwiches and two of them are beef... what?! That's the opposite of what cornucopia means. There's no menu. it's just whatever the guy wants to make that day? How is there no Turkey option? You're an Italian specialty store how is there no Italian option? Beef beef or chicken. Good luck! Sandwiches were basic but ok. Love the bread. Smothered in too much balsamic. Not a great experience. The guy was cool and the sandwich wasn't terrible but I won't be going back. read more

Wonderful little shop full of Italian goodies. Some of the best cannoli I've ever eaten. We only get here occasionally when visiting family but it's always a treat to stop by. The owner is very kind and helpful. read more

Such delicious authentic cannolis, filled fresh on the spot! So so good. I also picked up a baguette which was clearly baked recently. The store is super cute and Ibrahim was so nice to chat with. Can't wait to patronage this spot frequently! read more

Great Place! The gentleman that owns this place is friendly.  This is definitely a hidden treasure.  He brings back these exquisite recipes from Sicily.  We went to lunch at Hard Rock and the server suggested we try the cannolis.  We now frequent that place...how could we not the cannolis are THE BEST.  He fills them when you order, no soft mushy cannolis...just greatness.  Try this with the freshly made Amaricano.  This combination is definitely worth the calories.  I don't even really like sweets and desserts, but we thought, lets go get something different.  Well, what a great trip it has been.  I would highly recommend this place.  Service, food, quality is top notch. Thank you. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this place. This is one of those "real" italian places that looks down its nose at any americanized version of their cuisine. And with good reason. While waiting for the "sandwich artist" to take his time crafting my pastrami sandwich I browsed the wide selection of imported Italian cakes, candies, coffees, pasta, sauces, olives and other goodies. The sansdwich tool quite a bit longer than one would expect but I kept my patience by hoping it would be worth the wait. It was! The bread alone was worth the wait, crispy on the outside and delicately tender inside. Ive never had a better baguette. Now onto the toppings: pastrami slices so thin they melt in the mouth, robust slices of a nutty and buttery provolone type cheese, tomatoes that tasted of August although it is November, and a delicious and slightly sweet tapenade pulled it all together. Prices are a tad higher than one would expect but the quality you receive justifies the expense. You truely get what you pay for here. I will gladly return on my next stop in this area. read more

We went to this place for sweet treats and pasta. The goat milk pistachio cannoli is amazing! The ricotta filling is rich and creamy, but not very sweet. And the pasta selection is extensive. Will definitely come back. read more

I love this great little Italian shop in Woodmont Triangle. The caprese panini is filling and delicious. Their sweets are good and I appreciate the variety of Italian cooking essentials. Their ravioli is some of my favorite and though they don't always have every flavor available, it's worth to pick up some. I wish I had been able to try more items from Cornucopia when I worked across the street. read more

Fabulous Italian market just waiting for you. I've never seen so many pastas. They also make a few kinds of lasagnas, baked ziti, ravioli, etc., all ready for microwave or oven. No need to defrost. Lots of interesting looking olive oils, baked goods, & other products you likely won't find any place else. Manager is very nice, knowledgeable, and friendly with a marvelous accent that will have you believing you're in Italy. read more

Came here for a Italian deli sandwich and got an Orangina, cappuccino and two cookies too. My husband and I were yearning for a good hunk of sandwich with good deli meats and cheese. We're big fans of Potbelly's but didn't feel like that type of deli sandwich. After reading the good reviews about this local market, we decided to give it a visit. Street metered parking like anywhere else in Bethesda, we walked into the warm and quiet market filled with fresh breads and sweets near the front. The chalkboard menu in the back had our sandwich options and a nice lady took our orders. It is self service for the breaks and cookies so take what you'd like and put it into a paper bag. Our sandwiches were made to order. Meat, cheese, arugula, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing on a fresh baguette. The sandwiches were delicious and of great quality ingredients. They were not massive, meaning you can eat it lady-like without a mess. They have small tables and chairs on the side amongst a wall of pastas, sauces, and other Italian imports. There's also an olive bar. Will return for another sandwich. The cookies were nice and fluffy. I wouldn't say it is the best, but it's not bad. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving some quality deli sandwiches and came across this gem! Excellent customer service, very attentive. The man working asked if I had any allergies before preparing our food. When we asked if they had garlic powder he said no, although he was able to recommend a substitute being an "Italian spice mix". We can't wait to try it out! Beautiful variety of fresh pastas and Italian imports. I got the caprese sandwich and my boyfriend the classic turkey, both absolutely outstanding. The baguette was very fresh, the deli meats/cheeses very fresh.. all of it was mouthwatering and incredibly refreshing. Just what we needed! You can really tell that the owners really care about their product and stand behind it 100%. Will absolutely be coming back for more!! read more
