One of New Westminster’s best restaurants is expanding its empire to include a new deli.
And it’s taking over an old Starbucks space to do it.
Artusi Restaurant is located at 412 – 6th St. and has been feeding people their own brand of find Italian food.
Now it’s set to open Gastronomia Italia at 601 Columbia St.
“Gastronomia Italia Grocery & Deli is the creation of Artusi’s co-owner & Chef, Delbert Cirfera - inspired by Italian gastronomy, and his continuing passion for making authentically beautiful food a part of your every day,” reads an Instagram post. “Please follow @gastronomia.newwest for inspirations and inside peeks on their way to opening in March!”
Expect Gastronomia Italia to sell all those find Italian items that are tough to get in a regular grocery store.
When rustic breads, fine cheeses, cured meats, flavoursome antipasto and fresh herbs are all traditional foundations of your cuisine…making big beautiful sandwiches just makes perfect sense,” reads a company post. “Schiacciata is a sturdy and crunchy bread, which is also light and easy to digest - making it the perfect choice to contain and complement the bountiful colours, textures and flavours of Italian sandwiches. We will bake bread and craft our signature selection of sandwiches daily - made fresh and bursting with authentic ingredients, for your portable pleasure.”
