    Pick up fresh imported food and italian brands you won't find elsewhere. The homemade porchetta is to die for. Forget the other "Italian" stores in NY, here Italians living in NY come buy groceries!

    People associate "dollar signs" with the Meatpacking District. But for the broke folk, I highly recommend Buon Italia. I order the grilled chicken with a small side of rapini. Great deal!

    Located in Chelsea Market, this Italian store sells great imported producers from great cheese to fennel branches to chestnut flour. I love shopping there. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef

    "Ciobar" hot chocolate mix is nearly impossible to find anywhere else, and so is "Levissima" bottled water and "Mulino Bianco" cookies & snacks. Perfect for Italians who get occasionally homesick...

    Chefs Jason Hall (Gotham Bar & Grill) & Gabe Thompson (dell'anima) shop here for Setaro Pasta. We love the boquerones (white anchovies) sold in the south end of the store.
