The whole
Italian
pantry.

The pantry

One basket,
never one item.

You come in for prosciutto. You leave with cheese cut from the wheel, a bowl's worth of olives, a fresh pasta, a tin of San Marzano and a bottle of oil.

For more than twenty-five years the Cioffi brothers have run a deli that draws a city-wide crowd to Burnaby Heights — an Italian butcher and a European deli under one roof, with a back wall of imported pantry goods that turns a quick errand into a full haul.

Departments

Three counters, one family.

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

Salumi

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

Formaggio

Parmigiano, pecorino, provolone and fresh mozzarella, cut from the wheel rather than the pre-pack.

La Dispensa

Olives, antipasti, olive oil, San Marzano tomatoes and dried pasta carried in from Italy — the imported pantry.

Abundance, cut to order.
