On the run, I grabbed a sandwich at A.G. Ferrari in Belmont for lunch today. Jacob and I have popped in there once or twice before, and have always been pleased with our purchases. Among other things, I've found really nice dark chocolate, excellent dried pasta, dried porcinis, canned tomatoes, and prepared deli foods. Curious, I finally got online to check out the company.
It's a Bay Area chain with 13 stores in Oakland, San Francisco, Marin, Belmont, and Palo Alto, among other places. The owner, Paul Ferrari, travels to Italy several times a year to find artisanal oils, vinegars, pastas, etc., for the store. This isn't a cheap Italian deli. But from the products that I've tried, it's the good kind of upscale (as opposed to the simply overpriced upscale). The Belmont store has some tables and chairs so you can grab a bite and enjoy it there, or get it to go. The Belmont store is located just south of Ralston on El Camino Real.
