Ventimiglia Italian Foods is more than a mouthful, literally. This locally owned small Italian grocery and deli market is a bustling stop for many locals in need of a fast lunch or the freshest produce. They even have a pickled bar with an assortment of olives and peppers. Experimenting with flavored, handmade bread they have a wide variety including sweet potato and spinach and eggplant focaccia. Save room for some gelato, during spring and summer there's a stand right outside with picnic tables to sit and enjoy. --Erin Branstner
