Beyond the dozens of Sicilian specialties imported exclusively for owners Joe and Agata Musco and Louie Balducci—like tough-to-find Southern Italian olive oils, jams, tomato sauces and coffees—this immaculate supermarket boasts outstanding groceries. Gasp at the stellar local and heirloom produce, a sparkling fish and caviar counter (try the excellent taramasalata), a station dedicated to a wealth of house-made pastas and more. There are also prepared foods: A 35-member kitchen creates top-notch takeout, from wild-mushroom risotto to roasted duck.
