Welcome to Salumeria Italiana, home of the finest foods from Italy and all of the Mediterranean. Our store opened more than 40 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. 

You don't have to come into Boston to shop with us. Salumeria Italiana's website allows you to browse through our store, select just what you want, and quickly and easily place an order. All orders are packed with extra care and pride to make sure the products get to you as safely and as quickly as possible.

If you do come to the North End, stop by and say hello. We are on the Freedom Trail, around the corner from the Paul Revere House. Our retail store is open Monday-Saturday, 8 A.M.-7 P.M., and on Sundays during the summer. And if you'd like to get to know our neighborhood and its foodways,  we recommend taking a tour with Michele Topor or one of her guides. Food Tours of Boston combines history, food knowledge, and fun with lots of great tastes. Check the site, www.foodtoursofboston.com
