Great Italian market with lots of options for food to go, pre-made meats, salads, and assortment of sides. They even have homemade pasta in their freezer section that you can just take home and have fresh pasta from scratch. I usually get desserts, and my favorite is the Dolly though every dessert I've gotten there ... has been outstanding. I especially love the maid to order salad will you choose the base and then six toppings and protein if you want it. The salads are always top-notch with delicious vegetables and fresh ingredients. My guilty pleasure is the Dolly bar and if you don't know what it is, then you're going to have to try it! I went in today for my standard salad and Dolly bar, and had great service from a gentleman with black glasses though I didn't catch his name. Looking forward to my next visit and maybe I'll mix it up a little and try something completely new! Read More

Always such friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food of course! I moved away from Pasadena and every time I visit I stop in! The chicken salad sandwich is my favorite especially on a hot summer day along with the cold pasta salad.
