What a gem in downtown Clinton! We had the best time getting to talk to the owner Fran while we were there, who is clearly so passionate about his business. He travels to Italy often and even toured the pasta factory that he sources his products from. Everything sold here is as authentic as it gets and is extremely high-quality. He has DOP certified aged balsamic which isn’t easy to find! He gave us a sample and it is definitely the best balsamic I’ve ever had. You could spend so much time here looking through the shelves of his offerings. I was impressed by the beautiful gift baskets he has there as well. Such a great spot to know about, and it felt good to support a small, veteran-owned local business.

Excellent selection of authentic Italian straight from Italy. Expensive! But that's the going price for imported Italian foods in middle of Connecticut.

The Cannoli's are the Best I have ever had. The Shakes and Sundaes are incredible also. I highly recommend this place.

Came to the shop to get pasta party favors for 12. Was able to pick 12 different shaped and flavored pastas. Shop owners kindly wrapped each one in a festive bag with ribbon and tissue paper; the finishing touch was adding some small Italian chocolates to each package. Will be shopping there again soon. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜ŽπŸ
