Salumi, cheese,
fresh pasta —
the whole table.

The counter

A counter that draws a city-wide crowd.

Imported cured meats. Wheels and wedges of cheese cut to order. Fresh pasta, olives, and shelves of pantry goods carried in from Italy — all under one busy, family-run roof.

For more than twenty-five years the Cioffi brothers have stocked a deli that people cross the city for. The salumi case alone — prosciutto, soppressata, mortadella — is reason enough, but it sits beside cheese cut from the wheel, bowls of marinated olives, antipasti, and a back wall of imported oil, tomatoes and dried pasta. It is the kind of shop where one errand becomes a full basket.

The deli, by department

Three counters, one family.

A quick walk through the shop. Photographs here are stock placeholders — the family would supply its own shots of the real cases.

The Salumi Case

Prosciutto, soppressata, mortadella and capicola, sliced to order at the counter — the case the regulars line up for.

Cut From The Wheel

Parmigiano, pecorino, provolone and fresh mozzarella — cheese cut from the wheel, not the pre-pack.

The Imported Pantry

Olive oil, San Marzano tomatoes, dried pasta, olives and antipasti carried in from Italy — the back-wall haul.

The full table

Abundance, cut to order.
