You can find everything you need to make a delicious meal as well as find a great selection of craft beers and wines. Last week I stopped in and picked up fresh, hot jambalaya loaded with sausage and veggies! I grabbed some French bread and had the perfect lunch on the run!

For something done so simply, its done very well. I also appreciated the prices - a roll being $10 and a sub being $12 regardless the filling is very unheard of in Mass!

I think I prefer a bit more of a salty, juicy flavor to the meat, but it was still rare, just how I like it. The onion buns were a nice touch.

As you walk down the many streets of Gloucester you often wonder to yourself where the town comes together, where is there a harmonious relationship between the peoples? As this would seem to be a question hard to answer, it is actually quite simple and beautiful. You find this at Sclafanis. In essence this store is an Italian front with many memories, much love, great food, and great people. There are many places that people will remark to be "the greatest" or "the best" though using these terms would describe a restaurant that has yet to break free of its rudimentary cuisine, not the case at Sclafanis. The Pizmiaf is made on a fresh loaf of Sclafanis crispy Italian bread, followed by the fresh prosciutto sliced in house. After the base of this sandwich comes to form, it is topped with fresh mozzarella slices. Individuality is prided here so you are welcome to put as many of the fresh crisp vegetable toppings on as desired. Lastly this sandwich is finished with olive oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar and their fresh wonderful medley of Italian herbs. If this does not satisfy ones appetite for joy, good food, and good people than they have yet to rethink their feelings.
