Sagra, 400 Highland Ave, Somerville, MA 02144, US

The aroma of freshly baked pizza is delightful, but that's only the beginning of what this Italian specialty food store and deli has to offer. It has a selection of imported meats, cheeses and fresh and frozen prepared foods, as well as locally-baked Italian breads, cured olives, and shelf after shelf of treats from owner Giancarlo Sessa's homeland. From Italian chocolates and cookies to aged balsamic vinegars, every shape of pasta and an whole aisle of olive oils, if they eat it in Italy, you'll likely find it here. Italian housewares such as pasta bowls, cookie presses and espresso makers are also stocked. And for those who don't feel like cooking, a full selection of subs and sandwiches, calzones, daily soups, pasta entrees (call ahead) and deli salads are always at the ready--and Sessa's also caters. Family-owned and -operated since 1979, Sessa's is more than just a friendly neighborhood grocery. To many, it's a local landmark.
