Smack in the middle of Little Arabia sits Cortina’s, a family-run Italian market and restaurant in operation since 1963. The space is divided into two sections: a deli/market on the left and a pizzeria/restaurant on the right. If you’re short on time (or stomach space), prioritize the deli first. Along with imported pasta, meats, and cheeses to take home, you'll find made-to-order sandwiches that locals line up for. When we're hungry, we get the Cortina’s Special with capicola, mortadella, two types of salami, and the usual fixings. When we're really hungry, we get the sturdy meatball sub blanketed in mozzarella.
