"This fifth-generation Italian deli owned by Lou, Sal, and Marie Di Palo (one of them is likely to wait on you) opened in 1910 on Mott Street selling freshly made mozzarella and ricotta. Now it specializes in all manner of imported Italian products, especially cheeses and cold cuts. Brace yourself for a wait, though there’s great people watching, and generous samples as you finally transact. Mozzarella and ricotta are still made on the premises." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
