[THE GOOD STUFF] Former Tuscany Grill owners Pat and Colleen Mendola have turned Eastmoreland's corner mart into a bona fide foodie hideaway, complete with an open catering kitchen serving dynamite muffuletta and housemade soups. The unfussy Spanish- and Italian-leaning shop is lovingly stocked with random blocks of Western Family cheese and Totino's frozen pizza among its impressive wealth of fresh local produce, house-cut meats, wine, preserved lemons and blood-orange vinegar. Grab a cup of Courier Coffee and a Finales Black Angus cookie on your way out.
Grocery list: Housemade split-pea soup and meat sauce, squid ink, chorizo, bonito tuna, Gathering Together greens.
