    I will admit it . . . I am a chocolate snob! I have had…read moreBelgian chocolates, Italian chocolates... And many other liqueur chocolates, chocolate covered cocoa beans, homemade caramels, creams covered in Lush dark chocolate or light chocolate even white chocolate. Last weekend I was at my parents in Altoona. On the coffee table was an intriguing black box of chocolates. I opened the box and saw these adorable perfect little morsals staring up at me. The 1st piece I tried was obvious... A dark chocolate Carmel with a sprinkle of sea salt on top. Ooh, !!!! As I placed it on my tongue, The melting started immediately. Followed by my mouth watering as my brain reacted to the pure joy of the perfect combination of texture and taste of the Dark chocolate . Next came the savory salt that had secretly melted in to the chocolate. Last was the smooooth soft luscious caramel. Perfectly sized with the amount of chocolate and salt. This is the kind of Carmel you don't chew. It just sat in my mouth for few minutes and melted away like it was made to do. Leaving me amazed and satisfied, wondering why I had never had these Chocolates before. Each little chocolate is home made locally in Altoona PA on a small side street. In a small quaint building with a small store front. On my way home to Orangeville, I decided to check out their web sight. It was so simple and user friendly. I decided to order Each of my BFF girl friends a small box as a thank you for them for being in my life. I received my order in 2 days, neatly packaged and perfect. This weekend at a get together, I gave them to my girl friends. As they opened the boxes, the aroma of chocolate lofted through the air. Each 1 tasted a chocolate and the ooooos and awwwws followed. I tell this story because the little shops with great talent go unnoticed, until they are sitting on someone's coffee table. If you have someone special in your life . . . I am telling you they would appreciate this box of perfect chocolates. #wortheverypenny #chocolate #MarCiaschocolate #Valentinesday MarCiaschocolates.com

    Stopped by after seeing recommendations for their italian subs from a local facebook group. This…read moreplace is on the outside of Altoona and close to the mall area. This is an interesting setup with a small italian market and a deli counter. It looks like they do a lot of a catering based upon the view into their back of house. While we waited we picked up various speciality items. My son and I both ordered the 12" Pompeii's. This is one of their italian specialty cold cuts and comes with hot peppers. The meats and cheeses are boars head brand, sliced fresh and the sub comes loaded. The roll is a nice dense loaf. The hot peppers add a great kick! We both only ate half of our subs and had leftovers for dinner. They have various other hot & cold subs that we'll try on future visits. The service was helpful and super friendly. They were busy so it took probably 15 minutes to complete the process. Overall, it was a great sub and a welcomed change from the usual chain offerings. My only gripe is there's no in-store seating. If you're local it's a great takeout sub but we wanted to eat them immediately.

    Overall, a couple of good hoagies. The meats are sliced fresh and very thin and the veggies are…read morefresh. The roll were a bit bready but not bad. The market itself has a nice selection and some homemade sausages and other Italian staples. Bonus was the pepperoni roll next door at their bakery was delicious (Forno Alto).
