The shelves are filled with only the best Italian products available. Olive oils, olive salads, pastas, marinara, and more. They also carry several local products, from spices to pralines.

Salvatore Lupo is credited with inventing this colossal sandwich, although Italians had been making variations of this sandwich for years. Central Grocery still prepares their muffs like they always have: with meats sliced in house, with their family’s olive salad, and with handmade bread baked locally.
