Description
Founded in 1922 by a couple from Italy, Borracchini's is known primarily for its custom cakes and baked goods. But if you don't wander past the frosted birthday cake counter, you'll miss two-thirds of what makes Borracchini's so indispensable. Full of jars of native Mediterranean condiments, cheeses, sparkling water, and wines, full-scale shopping is entirely possible for those with a palate that veers sharply toward Southern Europe. And a fresh grilled salami-and-provolone panini sandwich from the deli counter will set you back a couple bucks.
