What a wonderful place for everything Italian! I was thoroughly impressed with the selections to choose from on the wall upon entry. There was everything for your kitchen pantry, including pasta, tomato sauce, pesto, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, jam, hazelnut spread, and more. They were all artisan-made, you could just feel the quality and know you were going to get the real deal. Then there are all the great wine choices too. And again, EVERYTHING Italian.
I definitely bought some stuff to take home. I felt like a kid in a candy store, because I was just picking up everything and putting it on the counter. I got the feeling that the owner wasn't used to someone just buying so freely like that, lol, or particularly not the locals, because of how expensive most of the things would be in their currency. Still though, for the authentic Italian quality I paid for, I did pretty well, not even spending $50 on all the items I got.
I didn't even come here for the market items initially though....I came for wine and cheese! But I got even better, because I found out that they offer a Cheese and Ham (Prosciutto and another Italian ham) platter in 3 sizes. I got the smallest one and it was only $10 or so, and wayyyy more than enough for a single serving. Of course I could eat the whole thing, but for clogged artery purposes, I think it's wiser to share amongst 2. Before sitting down with my platter, I got to sample 3 different wines (2 reds and 1 Prosecco) so I choose one to drink with my meal. It was a really enjoyable experience and the service was great! Very kind and involved owner who is all about making you comfortable.
This is an absolute gem in Prague. It's Italy in the heart of Europe. read more
