Welcome to Salumeria Italiana, home of the finest foods from Italy and all of the Mediterranean. Our store opened almost 50 years ago in Boston's North End because an Italian mother wanted to feed her baby son the wonderful foods she knew from her homeland. That baby was Gaetano Martignetti, the owner and son of founders Erminio and Vanda Martignetti. For more than four decades, Salumeria Italiana has stocked the best in olive oils, vinegars, pastas, and other specialty products. Our customers know that everything we sell has been taste-tested by our knowledgeable staff and by regulars who shop here every week. Local residents, visitors from the suburbs, tourists from across the world, professional chefs, and enthusiastic home cooks - all of them rely on us for quality, freshness, and authenticity.
