Menu
as of 10/11/08
| Sharon Boccelli grew up in a large extended Italian-American family north of Boston, where her mother and Nonni (grandmother) taught her the secrets of authentic Italian cooking brought from the old country. The dishes she prepares for you are based on that heritage, and are always made using fresh, and wherever possible, local and organic ingredients. Healthy never tasted so good! | Because everything is
freshly prepared, please allow time for your order; call well in advance.We
also sell groceries, as well as local and imported products, carrying many
different and interesting ethnic and organic items, from four varieties
of capers to Thai and Indian curry sauces to truffle oils and maple-sugared
walnuts and much more! as well as lovely soaps, candles, bath products,
country antiques and Vermont products, and fresh sliced deli meats and
cheeses!

We can make most menu items in gluten-free versions, too - please ask!
