Ottawa Foodies

I was to Luciano's grocery just to have a look without any specific need. I came home with 4 kilos of delicious meat. They have a broad range of fresh meats every day. In this small but clean grocery store I can find fresh and tender veal, tasty ossobuco, spicy red sausages and many interesting imported cheeses. Italian ricotta is one of the best here. To try!

Having tried many sandwiches from Italian Delis throughout the city, The sandwich from Luciano's has emerged as my favourite. Top quality ingredients, excellent price (around $3.25), and lots of care in the preparation. Worth checking out if you can get there during the limited hours -- it is a grocery store after all.

The cheese at Luciano's is by far the freshest compared to the other Italian grocery stores in the city. The grana padano and Italian Fontina (when you can get it) are always top notch.
