Mercato Italiano
A small, inconspicuous Italian deli lies directly across the street from the Narrows 8 movie theater off Mildred Street in Fircrest. Being Italian by marriage, I felt obligated to go scope it out and get some goods.
Right there on top of Mercato Italiano's counter sat a huge glass containers filled with tiny Italian Christmas cookies. I ask owner Cori Nordid (husband: Larry Nordid) if she bakes them at her store, and she says no, but they are flown in from Italy. I immediately recite in my head the leg lamp scene from “A Christmas Storyâ€: “Oooooh FRA-GEELAY. Must be from Italy!†(C’mon, if you don’t remember that part you need a spanking.)
The cookies were three for a dollar. Baci di Duma, Dame, and Sabiosino cookies. Sure, I could’ve grabbed one of each. But you know me, I had to snag three of each. I am so glad I did. The Baci di Duma were full flavored and freshly crisp. I could eat a hundred. And the Sabiosino? It is a classic cookie every child and adult will consider a treat. And by child, I mean Italian husbands. â€" Steph DeRosa
