Food Scene
Great "hot table" - cheap, great Italian fare, eat-in or take-home. Also fantastic cannoli and amaretti.
The big secret is their home-made ice cream.

Essentials
From our place it's a 10 minute drive, 15 minutes on a bike or about a $10 taxi ride. But a great family run grocery store, with a nice selection of organic food and produce in addition to the usual fare.
