If you are familiar with the Des Moines metro the Graziano Bros name should be one you already know. Established in 1912 they are a fixture here when it comes to Italian sausage. The ordering process was smooth and the menu was displayed well. The wait wasn't long. I ordered the fried ravioli (beef filled) with marinara and an Italian Chop sandwich. The Italian Chop is almost exactly what it sounds like. It's served cold. Chopped mortadella, pepperoni, capicola, salami, provolone, tomato, onion, pepper rings, and lettuce. Tossed in a creamy Italian dressing. Served on a hoagie roll. The ravoli was served terrifyingly hot. Lol It's a bold tangy marinara. The sandwich is perfect for what it is. Service was excellent for a truck and typical of when there's a line. Busy. Not much time to small talk. I'll definitely be watching our food vendor schedule and trying out more items from the Graziano Bros. Sausage Mobile food trailer. https://www.facebook.com/p/Graziano-Bros-Sausage-Mobile-61572883362883/

Within the little Italy area is an Italian grocery that has been here for well over 100 years. Graziano Bros offers, sausages, cheeses, breads, meatballs, etc. plus dry goods offered in wholesale amounts for additional savings. A wonderful little shop with a feeling of nostalgia and a focus on excellent customer service. It has a wonderful aroma of amazing food selections. During lunchtime, they offer amazing Italian sandwiches. This is a must stop for your pantry and or freezer when in the Des Moines area. Bring an ice block!

Everyone inside was very nice and I was greeted as soon as I stepped foot in. It's a very small place so it's not really possible to get confused about where to order or pay or anything. My did not come out instantly, which is good because that means to me that I got something fresh and not something sitting there for a while. Much better use of $10 than getting fast food.

I know this isn't a restaurant but it's food-related. I just found out about this new Asian grocery…read morestore and I'm in love with it. They've been open for eight months and they sell SO MANY different things. If you love Asian grocery stores, you're sure to love this place. First of all, the store is very clean and well-organized. There is so much to look at. There are many kinds of sweet treats and candies. I almost screamed when I saw the banana and green tea Kit Kats. I'm crazy about the green tea ones. I found them once at C Fresh Market but haven't seen them there again. I know World Market has them but they're so expensive there. My husband bought the banana Kit Kats and I think I love them more than the green tea ones. Second, the prices are very reasonable for stuff that's from Asia. I know the owners must be paying a fortune for the tariffs, so I'm grateful for the good prices. Speaking of the prices, I LOVE that they have most of their items priced. There's nothing I hate more than finding things that I want to buy in a store and not knowing what the price is. They also have a scanner at the counter for you to scan an item if it isn't priced. Third, the owner is nice and helpful if you have a question about something. I like C Fresh Market but I can never find anyone to help me when I'm looking for something. And if I do happen to find someone, they don't speak English. This store is smaller than C Fresh but it still has rows and rows of goodies to look at. I originally went there to find the viral fruit-shaped ice cream, but it cost a lot more than I was willing to pay. So I left with other treats instead. They also have a lot of different types of noodles and many varieties of ramen. They have a drinks aisle with the typical drinks most Asian grocery stores have. There is also produce and several different aisles of frozen foods as well. I'm so happy I found this place.

I would also recommend to watch their social media pages as they offer rotating weekly sandwiches.

Of course many have selective taste and the spices used as well as custom play a huge role. The greeting was friendly and upbeat. The surround decor was clean and mod with character. Parking was easy spacious and plentiful in with a wrap around drive thru. At issue is the price $$ for a batter dipped piece of chicken or crab Rangoon that was a tad salty, but flavorful. Would I take a road trip for another taste of what I can find in the Des Moines area probably not, but you may want to give it a try.
