Owned and operated by fellow gourmand, Bobby at Gourmandsreview, I knew a stop at Ariccia Italian Market was requisite for our trip to San Diego and from the clever displays and the warm hospitality to a selection of pastas, meats, local artisan foods, and La Colombe coffee the only way our visit could have been better is if they hadn’t been sold out of my size in a particularly clever t-shirt…and even then, the money saved was probably better spent on the truly impressive Porchetta sandwich; a superb rendition of the classic with crackling skin juxtaposing supple flesh while the bitter arugula and sweet onions proved a stellar compliment to the swine as the dense bread sopped up the ample juices with ease.
