Black Forest Ham Sandwich
Jacob B.

Well, after hearing so many good things about this place, they really brought me down several pegs, the Salad was generic with no love to it with crappy boxed croutons, spaghetti wasn't terrible but my sweet heart pointed out that the sauce tasted like it was from a can, the only part that earned a star was the desserts, Mint Cheesecake and Carrot cake, lovely presented and it is good. The other issue I have with this place is it's cramped and I hate to be there at a busy time especially so many shelves somewhat blocking people who are browsing and people who are paying for both the cafe order and the shopper's order, doesn't help there is only one cash register too....I will not be going to this place again in the future unless proper care is used for both the store and their cooked food

The aptly named hot Vesuvius...so good I couldn't wait to take a bite...

I swear one of the favorite things about this place is the perfume that mingles from the kitchen and aisles of food. It is a hard to describe but an oh so yummy mix of fresh baked breads, italian deli meats and deliciousness being prepped in the kitchen. I've long been coming here for the from scratch pizza dough, gelato, balsamic vinegars, and other authentic Mediterranean goodies that you won't find elsewhere. The staff are super knowledgeable about what is sold in the store and can make recommendations on substitutions in the unlikely event thay they dont have what you need for your recipe. Their coffes, sandwiches and soups are fantastic. My go to quick lunch here is the Vesuvius; probably my favorite sandwich in the city. With a pile of spicy salami, black olive tapinade and pickle slices covered in gooey cheese and hot mustard between two slices of grilled foccacia, it should be yours too.

High marks for the food, lower marks for the spotty service. This place has never been able to get a handle on its staff, and that's always been a bit a drawback. Still, they make some really great food, including one of my favourite things to bring to a social gathering - the salmon and cream-cheese pate. You will be the favourite of any group if you bring this to a party with a few crackers and a nice bottle of vino. They also make nice pizzas, great sandwiches, and lots of pre-made pastas for instant lunches and dinners to eat in or take out. The shop is also an Italian grocery, and another of my favourite things to do is buy their frozen ball of pizza dough and their own shop-made pizza sauce and make up my own pizzas at home. There's also bread, pastas, coffee, a wide selection of olive oils and sweets straight out of the old country.

Although I know lots of people who love the take out, I opt for the terrific ingredients to make my own Italian delicacies. The best homemade sausages in town...delivered fresh every Thursday afternoon and if you can't get there until Monday, you'll find them in the freezer. My favorite - sweet fennel sausages, but there are spicy chorizo and some other kinds as well. Perfect grilled, served with lentils....I'm drooling but that's not all you can find at the Italian Market. Being a huge pasta fan, I'm really crazy about the two aisles of imported pastas from the standard to the really unique and all the possible toppings like oil dried black olives, Italian antipasti, anchovies by the tin or the jar, roasted and marinated artichoke hearts and red peppers are some of my favorites. Olive oils and balsamic vinegars come in every grade and from every region in Italy. And I must mention the fresh buffalo mozzarella and other soft cheeses and fresh homemade pasta, sauces and pizza dough so you can be a star at home with very little effort.

Great takeaway, portions are huge! We likely could have shared one sandwich...but the leftovers were delicious.

One of the largest Asian grocery stores in Halifax - convenient for people who live in peninsular…read moreHalifax - especially downtown. At the bottom of a newer apartment building. They have more or less everything you want - although prices are higher than in Ontario - that's to be expected, higher transportation costs I'm sure: Always busy, super long hours. Ton of Asian students shop there. Their ubiquitous green bag can be seen all over Halifax!!!

TL;DR/The Short Version: An Asian supermarket right in…read moredowntown Halifax. Lots of variety. The Long Version: I stumbled upon this supermarket by accident as my husband and I were walking around in Halifax. It was definitely not there the last time we were in Halifax in 2022. It looks like it opened sometime in 2024. It's fairly large and similar to Asian supermarkets I've been to in much larger cities. Many of the products are from China, but I did see a few items from Thailand, The Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam and other Asian countries. I didn't see any items from Japan or Korea, but I didn't look at every single item in the store, lol. The store is big and bright. They have shelf stable items, refrigerated foods, frozen foods, fresh produce, toys and cosmetics. I'm sure if you're looking for Asian ingredients for recipes you will find them here. Service was courteous. I bought some Pokemon toys here for my little nieces and they gave me a free reusable tote bag because I spent over $20. We walked there but there appears to be some underground parking available. (189)
