"Di Palo's is a long-standing specialty grocer on Grand Street, beloved since 1910 for their impressive selection of Italian meats, cheeses, and other pantry treasures. Right next door, the family's romantically lit wine bar, C. Di Palo, serves some of those same excellent products, as well as panini and off-the-beaten-path wines from more than 20 regions of Italy. Both their fresh burrata atop a well dressed salad of arugula and roasted red peppers, and salty, springy handmade fresh mozzarella are delicious, but you should also give strong consideration to a meat and cheese platter (five for $30). The one thing we don't love about this place is that it’s only open Thursday through Sunday." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, bryan kim
