Located close to Amsterdam's antique quarter, this gourmet store is a 'must ' for lovers of authentic Italian cuisine. Run by Gessica and Gianni, a delightful and friendly couple, their knowledge of Italian produce is second to none and they are more than happy to share it. Products are imported directly from over 100 small scale farmers, mainly from the Tuscany and Umbria regions in central Italy, known as the country's green heart. Freshly picked fruit and vegetables offer taste sensations beyond comparison, as well as foraged truffles, risotto rice, fresh and dried pasta, olive oils and vinegar, cheeses, meat, game and salami, all of which are organically produced. There's an equally impressive selection of outstanding wines, beer and lemonade. The shelves are also adorned with traditional pottery and earthenware. Sumptuously filled sandwiches bring back memories of Italy.
