Last week we sang the praises of Arthur Avenue, that bastion of authentic Italian food in the Bronx. Today, an option for those of us living a little farther south. Buon Italia is just one small store, but it can fill quite a few Italian culinary needs, starting with these huge cans of San Marzano tomatoes. You can see the normal, 14-ounce cans to the left...

WORMS!!!!
I went in 2 days before Christmas and picked up a few things -- among them a fresh black winter truffle for almost $80. I brought it home and immediately stored in in a jar of uncooked rice as instructed. Two days later when we went to use it, upon slicing it in half, we discovered it was FULL OF WHITE WORMS!!!! I called to tell them this and that I wanted to bring the truffle back for store credit at the very least and was told that they would not be able to help me. My husband then went to the store with the wormy truffle and the owner refused to even look at it or offer any compensation. Due to the owner's complete refusal to even work with us, I will NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN and will post this story as many places as I can. Thanks for nothing. mstangonyc on Jan 5, 2010
