the real deal
Friday, February 10, 2006
I've lived in Boston and San Francisco, both known for their Italian neighborhoods plentiful with markets and authentic food. However, salumi is nothing like anything I've ever tasted. The freshness and complexity of the meats is incredible. The homemade fresh mozarella is out of this world- you'll never want to go back to the supermarket stuff. I haven't tried all of the meats, but most of them have been delicious. Go early to beat the lunch crowd, you will wait in a line out the door for a sandwich. If you have time, try the family style dining with a glass of the communal wine. Oh and try to go on Tuesday for the best gnocci in Seattle, handmade by Mario's mother on Tuesdays.
