This place has amazing customer service and selection. I wish I took pictures of the sandwiches but I ate it before I could! I got the Napoli sandwich that had pesto, tomato, mozerella, and priscutto on it. It was amazing! They have a big selection of pasta, olive oil, sauces, and gelato. Would definitely come back again.

Barbiero's is a throwback to the shops I visited with my family in the Noth End when I was young. A great store to browse, sample and of course, end up taking a variety of items home to eat. The rosemary ham has replaced prosciutto as our favorite.

Better prices and selection than any store in the North End. This is, in my opinion, the best Italian specialty grocer in the Boston area.
