Fresh bread emerges from the ovens at all hours. When the bars and coffee shops close, night owls head to Bova’s for hot sandwiches and cookies.
-
This small and basic shop, located below street level, stocks vegetables and exotic fruits.
-
One of the city’s most comprehensive wine and liquor stores, Martignetti imports wines from many small producers in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The store is particularly known for its broad selection of Nebbiolo-based wines of the Piemonte.

Large glass cases display a huge selection of cookies and cannoli (crunchy pastry filled with a sweet ricotta cream). Purchase a box to go, or grab a table and order a drink and a delectable pastry.
-
House specialties here include rich ricotta pie and nougat made on the premises, as well as chocolate truffles from Italy and delicate Florentines. Modern makes a thinner cannoli shell than Mike’s.

Linked to a nearby restaurant, this salumeria has the usual cheeses and sausages, but its specialties are prepared foods such as cold salads for picnics and pasta dishes for reheating.
-

-
The premier bulk grocer in the North End, this charming store has sold Italian roasted coffee since 1932. It’s still the best place to find spices, flours, grains, and legumes.
-
This neighborhood fixture is a premier stop for esoteric Italian canned goods and rich olive oils, as well as spicy sausages and cheeses from many Italian regions.
-
The North End’s most upscale seller of Italian wines and liqueurs stocks both fine wines to lay down and cheerfully youthful ones to enjoy right away.
