Bella Cosa opened a year and a half ago and Wallingford's been eating better ever since. The front of the store offers imported pasta, rice, Scarpetta sauces, and lots more ingredients to help you prepare an excellent meal. In their deli case you can find cured meats from Salumi plus a delicious selection of cheeses, olives and now caviar. Head to the back of the store for cool housewares and cookbooks, perfect for your kitchen or a gift for a gourmet friend. Be sure to stop by the wines, too; if you need help choosing anything, the knowledgable staff can point you in the right direction.

Good coffee, good cheeses, good folks, this is how the best delis are back East. And they have real Italian cannoli!

Nice staff, pretty decor, and delicious pantry items. My favorite Maribelle hot cocoa is here (so good!) and less expensive than by me on the hill. Found some cute plates, too.

Dan and Emily are the lovely owners of this new gourmet foods store on 45th. The offerings are broadening by the day- cheeses from around the world (included Cow Girl Creamery- a fave of mine), breads from Macrina, cured meats from Salumi and much more. Go there for lunch and have a panini and tasty soda (very unique offerings). Stop by after work to grab cheese, crackers and wine. Or just swing by and peruse the gift shop in the back--dishes, aprons, cook books and the like. This store is a welcome addition to the often drab selection in Wallingford.
