A perfect gift for you and your loved ones!

With the holidays approaching, I wanted to create something a bit special to share with all of you. This is how the Laura’s Gourmet selection was born. 

I picked some of the treats that are a tradition on our family table, but I tried to select the ones that also had something unexpected and special. Who says tradition can’t be a surprise?

First of all, I knew I needed to include a Panettone so I asked some advice to Borsari, our friends from Verona, to choose the best artisanal Pan

Next November 28th we will celebrate our sixth Thanksgiving in the United States and I have been thinking about how this day means a lot to me and my family even if we only moved back here in the United States in 2014. 

As I told in the About Us section of this site, I was born here and I spent my first years in the Italian Delicatessen that my parents used to run in the Bronx.

The traditional Panettone masters!

Celebrate your Holidays with us!

When we first set up or shop we knew that we needed to find the perfect Panettone and Pandoro to bring with us to the USA. We tasted all kinds - It’s a hard job, we know! - but finally fell in love with Borsari’s! 

Shop with me for the best home-made Lasagna!

Few recipes make me think of Sundays in Italy like Lasagna.

“Lasagna” is the name of a type of flat pasta, one of the most ancient kinds ever created. The name of the pasta is that of the finished dish too, which is created by stacking layers of pasta and alternating them with tomato sauce and other ingredients.

Our favorite products of the month

Mushrooms, truffles and more!

Autumn is an amazing season for wild foods, especially for those that need more rain to grow.

Truffles and mushrooms are specially delicious in this period of the year, so let’s discover more about them and how we can use them in our kitchens!
