Caputo's Market & Deli

Soup is a bigger deal than many people know at Caputo's Market & Deli, the downtown market and deli, which makes a new one almost every day to pair with its sandwiches; the day's soup is posted on the blackboard in the deli. Past soups have included a smoky lentil with speck, full of lentils, spinach, carrots, yellow bell peppers, celery and onion, the chewy cured speck adding just the right saltiness. Order the soup of the day with a sandwich.

Caputo's approaches meat through salumi, imported prosciutto, cured specialties, and a deeply stocked cheese counter. The staff can guide a charcuterie board as readily as a deli order, while pantry shelves add oils, vinegars, pasta, and chocolate. The downtown market is useful for cooks seeking specialized Italian ingredients and careful product knowledge.
