Lou often travels all the way to Italy to stock his shop with some hard-to-find delicacies from the old world. Trust us, visitors will not find a lot of this stuff at any ordinary grocery store.

The mozzarella at Di Palo’s is hand made every single day! The shop also has over 75 different varieties of pecorino cheeses and sheep’s milk cheese sourced from various regions in Italy.
