The Italian Store

This has been an Arlington staple for years, and for a good reason! Excellent selection of gourmet food and wine, as well as prepared foods in the refrigerator. Good coffee and amazing deserts. I am a fan of their thin crust pizzas - one slice will definitely fill you up. Some parking and outdoor seating are super convenient.

Riding an electric bike with my son, an energy replenishment point on the way. There is ample parking lot here. Plenty of outdoor dining tables, if you add an exquisite European-style garden, it will be more perfect, but he doesn't have it. This is a grocery store selling Italian food. Inside is like a food plaza composed of different partners. It sells raw meat, sausage, cheese, pickles, salads, pizza, sandwiches, drinks, seasonings, snacks, sweets, bread, ice cream, coffee, tea, drinks and more. I bought two pieces of pizza, and the young salesperson volunteered to help me reheat the pizza in the oven. It was very heartwarming. Please remember that the pizza here is made with an electric infrared heating oven with pizza stone, not a wood-burning pizza oven. . The pizza is also a New York style with rich ingredients, but it is easy to eat, and there is no complaint. Then I bought a cup of espresso coffee, a cup of cappuccino, and a piece of mullet bread. The coffee here is generally not special, although it uses lily coffee beans, it is also a professional commercial espresso machine. , But the taste is like the coffee beans that have been opened for a long time, the fat is not very strong, and the cappuccino is just a normal American taste. The overall feeling of coffee is just one word, light. That mullet bread is just mediocre, a bit cold. Then I bought a cup of double-ball ice cream. My son had a very happy meal. Well, I'm still reliable with Nice Cream ice cream. Generally speaking, this is a concentrated place for leisure and socializing in the community. It is also a snack place for many parents and children after school. It has the convenience of home, long service hours, low prices, convenient parking, and a moderate location. One place can meet most of your needs. But he is not authentic, he has everything but nothing is done well, he has no native Italian soul. What's the problem? Even if he is 100% Italian, how many people can care about it. Anyway, it is convenient, cheap, and serving the community wholeheartedly is already very good. At least he is a resting place for my parents and children. I cherish and enjoy all the good times he brings. thanks.

This is a great store that has something for everyone. I've recently started getting their ready made foods from the refrigerated section and everything has been yummy. I especially liked the eggplant parm. Illy coffee and tiramisu are great. Lots of gourmet wine, cheese and beer. I'm moving from Arlington but will continue to visit the Italian Store!

Tastier $10 imported wines than you find at chain stores. Discount when you get 6. Incredible deli sandwiches (get the Capri) and our kid (age 2) has just fallen in love with the cheese pizza, whole and by the slice. Leave extra time for whole pizzas they get busy. By the slice is always good. We’ve had their party trays of cut sandwiches too which is genius for birthdays. Get a combo, pizzas too. Feed everyone!

First time here and I was super impressed! I have driven past so many times wanting to stop before but never had the time. I’ll be back for sure and will be bringing my family to check it out. Chatted with the one of the owners and managers and they were very nice. They took some time to tell me a bit about their history and even gave me a cannoli as a welcome gift! Thank you for a wonderful first experience!
