The best delicatessen shops in your neighborhood.

Casa del gusto

Gianni and Gessica have a clear vision for the future of Casa del Gusto. 'We want to remain a small company that works with small-scale farmers: that is our concept. 'We know all the farmers we work with personally. We buy our Grana Padano – Italy's most popular cheese – from a farmer who only produces two pieces a day. That is almost nothing compared to large industrial producers who deliver hundreds of pieces a day. What we find very important is that you get to know the producers through the taste of our salamis, pastas and beers.' You should be able to taste the love that the farmers have put into it', explains Gessica. From hazelnut paste and gnocchi to bottarga and aloe vera beauty products: the shop is full of delicious delicacies and beautiful products. Casa del Gusto is, as the name suggests, a house of taste for its customers.
