A Taste of Italy, Deli & Caffe

Home cooking served every day, open at 10:00am

It was said by renowned Italian chef Marcella Hazen that “There is no such thing as ‘Italian haute cuisine’ because there are no high or low roads in Italian cooking.  All roads lead to the home, to las cucina di casa.”

No words could be truer than these when describing the home cooking of chef Jennifer Kaya of Johnston’s popular A Taste of Italy, Deli & Caffe ~ everything tastes as if it came straight from your own Nona’s kitchen. The great Italian classics.  Traditional ingredients, traditional recipes, traditional techniques, traditional seasonings ~ but still modern, creative and always made in-house!  Always fresh, always vibrant, always delicious, always authentic.

The menu at A Taste of Italy, all of which is available for take-out or dine-in, is diverse and tantalizing.  Begin your day here with tastebud-teasing cinnamon rolls, muffins and donuts. There are many other traditional Italian baked goods such as their yummy cannolis and sfogliatellas ~ perfect to linger over with a cup of cappuccino or espresso. 

When the owners of A Taste of Italy, Deli & Caffe opened this eatery, they knew their most important decision was who would be the chef.  They also knew they had nailed that decision as soon as they hired talented chef, Chef Kaya. Chef Kaya prepares the great Italian “comfort foods”; think lasagna, eggplant, chicken cutlets, veal cutlets, frittatas, stuffed mushrooms and peppers, pasta dishes galore, grilled vegetables, endless salads (including snail, caprese and tomato/cucumber salads). Don’t forget FISH & CHIPS every Friday (call ahead to order!)

The specialty sandwiches here are made on rolls baked right at Buono’s Bakery. They are made with Boar’s Head meat and cheeses, sliced right in front of you. There are homemade soups and sauces and more of those freshly baked pastries ~ the mouth-watering list goes on and on.

A Taste of Italy even CATERS!  With just a weeks’ notice, you will be sure to impress your guests for any function! Everything on the menu is available for catering so you can even taste before you buy.  Turn your next event into a memorable culinary experience, customized just for you.

Lastly, don’t forget to check out DJ Bingo Night every Monday night from 7:00pm – 9:30pm and DJ Trivia Night every Wednesday night from 7:00pm – 9:30pm. Bring your friends and enjoy the fun, food & prizes. These events are always huge crowd-pleasers.
