Claro's Italian Market

An excellent Italian market, bakery, deli and sandwich shop. Authentic Italian sweet and savory. The Italian ice is top notch as are the gorgeous cookies and bread. Their sandwiches are the perfect picnic fare. There is a parking lot in the back and cute shopping carts so you can load up on gorgeous pasta sauces and treats.

I have been coming to here when I am craving for a sandwich or ingredients for tiramisu. The deli section is well organized. Customers need to pick a number in order to be served. I always get great grandpa joe, and it has never disappointed me. Sandwich might be a bit on the pricy side, but the quality of meat is great! I am willing to pay more for this quality. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I witnessed an incident how a staff took care of a not so pleasant situation. A staff was assisting a customer with bake goods. The customer wanted to purchase some cookies. When the staff used a tong to pick up the cookies. The customer said it out loud (loud that the whole store can hear her) that “did you wash your hands?” I found that pretty rude. I worked in the food industry that we all required to wash our hands before handling food. Plus, some of us even went to school for learning all these rules. The staff was super professional and maintain his calm by informing the customers that he washed his hands before handling her food. Good job staff! There was plenty of parking spots in the back. Parking is not an issue.

My favorite place to shop for all things Italian. This family own Italian Chian store sells all the Italian ingredients needed to create fantastic Italian meals. Besides the ingredients, you can also get custom made Italian sandwiches here. I also found that I can breads and cookies here. Daily baked fresh cookies and breads are authentic Italian styles. Sourdough breads are very good here as well. For those who love to make their own pizza, they have ready make doughs and pizza sauce as well as pepperonis. I guess I will be making pizza today for dinner. Will be back to peruse more items to find ingredients to make other Italian dishes.
