Cannatella Grocery is an amazing new addition to the Government Street Arts and Entertainment District. It is the second location of a small Italian grocery store and deli. The original location has been in operation in Melville, LA, since 1923. It is a cozy place, filled with specialty items as well as familiar brands. But the really great stuff is the prepared foods.
There is a deli, which has a limited but excellent selection of sandwiches. These include one fine Muffuletta, which can be had in quarters, haves, or whole. The Meatball Po-Boy and Italian Beef are also excellent. I advise a serving of pasta salad to go with these. Maybe a package of specialty olives too...
In addition to the deli, there are cold cases with plenty of wonderful heat and eat options. These pre-made meals include pasta choices and of course lasagna. There are other special products such as quality sausages and meats to browse and try.
I'm always glad to find a different thing to try on the shelves as well. Check out the Italian cookies, pastries and sweets, the pickles, and preserves. There's plenty of unique items waiting to be discovered.
