Commercial Drive · Little Italy
A Commercial Drive alimentari, cheese counter & panini bar.
Cured meats sliced to order, a glass case of formaggio, and panini built on the spot — the corner of the Drive where the neighbourhood still shops by name.
The Cheese Counter
Sliced, wedged & wrapped while you wait.
A working glass case, not a catalogue. Tell the person behind the counter what you're making and they'll cut to it. Selection rotates — call ahead for a specific wheel.
Prices are placeholders — owner to confirm the live counter list.
Built to Order
The panini, made the way the Drive likes it.
The Salumi
Cured meats, provolone, roasted pepper, oil & vinegar on a crusty roll.
Cheese & Greens
Fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and a drizzle of good olive oil.
The Counter Special
Whatever's best at the case today — ask what they're slicing.
Panini line-up is illustrative — final menu & prices to confirm with the owner.
The Grocery Shelves
A pantry's worth of Italy, one aisle deep.
The kind of small shop where the imports are chosen, not stocked. Come for the panino, leave with dinner.
- Dried pasta, tinned tomatoes & Italian staples
- Olive oils, vinegars & tinned fish
- Coffee, biscotti & sweets
- Olives, spreads & antipasti by the jar
