Festival Gift & Variety is a long-standing, family-run gem on College Street with old charm and a genuine Italian environment. It offers an amazing selection of authentic, high-quality imported Italian goods, including pasta, olive oils, canned tuna, Guanciale, pine nuts, saffron, coffee, and sweet snacks.
