On our recent trip to DC, a quick stop into an eatery for lunch turned into an experience above expectation! Not only was the food absolutely delicious but the marketplace–filled with Italian meats, cheeses, wines, and sweets–was a treat in itself! I adore snooping through shops like this one…and the only thing disappointing was that we don’t have one near us! Before my browsing, I was treated to a freshly made sandwich topped off with piles of olive tapenade and roasted peppers! And after completely gorging myself I really needed the “exercise” of shopping so I could make room for what else? Gelato of course! So today I’d like to share this fun little market…and if you’re ever in Arlington, VA–a stop at The Italian Store is highly recommend!
