Lamonica's IGA in Haberfield is where you would flock when you need anything Italian related. Think buffalo 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. read more
