The Italian Deli Co. opens the doors of its innovative hybrid concept, which combines a traditional Italian deli market with a full-service European-style trattoria, in Pasadena.
This ambitious culinary venture offers an immersive dining experience that spans from morning espresso service to late-night meals. Handmade pastas, Roman-style pinsa, and artisanal sandwiches crafted with premium imported Italian ingredients are sure to immediately capture the attention of culinary enthusiasts. A key differentiator of this expansion is the partnership with Caffè Vergnano, Italy's oldest coffee roaster, which brings 140 years of coffee craftsmanship to Pasadena through exclusive Arabica blends.
The Italian Deli Co.'s space thoughtfully recreates the ambiance of an Italian countryside market through rustic decor, the aroma of freshly baked breads, and a curated selection of Italian grocery items.
