Making legitimate Carbonara only requires 4 things, and no, garlic isn’t one of them:

1️⃣ Authentic DOP Pecorino Romano (we have a block bigger than your head)

2️⃣ Real Italian Guanciale 🥓

3️⃣ Quality Italian pasta 🍝

4️⃣ Fresh Burnbrae Farms Ontario eggs 🥚

We’ve got all four under one roof in Byward Market. Come get ‘em before your Italian friends find out what you were planning to use instead.

Ciao Ottawa. We feel shopping for food locally, more often, from a local business is the way.

Shopping, a daily ritual in Italy, begins with a “buon giorno” or “buona sera” for the shopkeeper and yields a bounty of locally produced cheeses, hams, and other delicacies.

We are proud to serve the Ottawa community since 1972. The 5th generation of Italian family food merchants with stores still in Italy.

Skip the big box store this weekend. Shop the Italian way and visit us in the Byward Market spesso.
