Lucrezia has just opened the newest addition to their amazing business, Good to Go by Lucrezia…read more It's located just north of their restaurant on Calumet Ave, and parking is located behind the building in the parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. Good to Go is a small deli and tasting emporium that has a good selection of Boar's Head deli meats, cheeses, and a plethora of different olive oils. They also have pre-prepared offerings from their restaurant and wine too. They make prepackaged lunches daily with different gourmet sandwiches on fantastic breads with their boars head meats. In the boxed lunches is a sandwich (I've had a few of their offerings so far - Pastrami with red onions, Honey turkey with apples and pear vinaigrette), a small portion of pasta salad, and a desert. The sandwiches are great, the pasta salad is fresh and delicious, and the deserts are excellent. I came here for the grand opening after I had their lunches and got to sample a lot of their different offerings and wine. They had a balsamic vinaigrette with dark chocolate in it that was to die for. I sampled a lot of their wines as well and wound up buying 4 bottles! I'd really recommend this place everyone, you have to try something they have to offer. They'll let you sample all of the deli meats, cheeses, olive oils, anything. I can't wait to get home so I can pick up some boars head meat for sandwiches at home.

Not only were the oils and vinegars reasonably priced, but they tasted amazing too! The woman in the shop was very nice and really too her time to talk about the store and allowed us to sample the different olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Let me tell you know, the blood orange olive oil and Tuscan olive oils were amazing! They also have numerous balsamic vinegars, I literally couldn't choose which ones I wanted to take home because they were all so good. I opted for the honey ginger and blackberry ginger vinegars, one because I love ginger and two because it would pair well with the blood orange olive oil. The store employee (or maybe she was the owner? My apologies if so; she's sweet) wasn't pushy, she gave us a few samples then walked away to allow my friend and I have our own experience and choose. I really loved that, I didn't feel like I was being sold on any one thing and she was there to help if we had questions. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to shopping again. FYI we were told if you bring your empty bottle back to the store, you will get $1 off your next purchase. I think that's a nice deal for repeat shoppers and to encourage recycling which is a win win!

When my mom comes to town, this is a must stop for her. She loves Olive Cart and always walks out…read morethe door happy. Victoria was in the store today and she was super helpful. My mom was able to redeem the promotion of "finish the punch card, get a free item". I don't remember what the stipulations of those cards are but she uses them every time she comes in, so if you think you could become a regular, I would recommend one. If you enjoy cooking and experimenting im the kitchen, this is a fun place to visit to help you do just that. I've come here dozens of times over the years, both with my mom and with my best friend, and Olive Cart has never disappointed. They still have Covid measures going so don't forget your mask when visiting here, or downtown in general. Some stores are allowing vaccinated people not to and others aren't so it's best to keep them handy like we have been.

The truffle and chipotle avocado oils were really good. The aged balsamic, truffle balsamic and smokehouse balsamic were tasty. Along with the avocado oils and balsamics we bought after trying them the cheesy bacon, habanero garlic heat and Parmesan artichoke blend for the oils or cream cheese. Can't wait to try them all out on top of fries, marinaded in chickens, mixed in with salads, as dips with crackers and blended into cheese balls and on top of portabella mushrooms. Mmm. Come on Fridays, it's 25% off. Tuesdays they give you two stamps for each bottle purchase. You get nothing on a Saturday. Fill the card and it gets you a bottle for free.
