Alimentari Aurora

Knowledgeable staff. I'm coming back Monday for that hard to find butter. Fingers crossed.

Was lucky enough to grab the last sandwich for the day, which was their meat option. I don't say this often, but that was a damn good sandwich. The description is in the photo below, but the high level takeaway is that everything blended together perfectly with a satisfying crunch. A sandwich that is greater than the sum of its parts. High marks.

The prosciutto sandwich I had that day had really interesting ingredients and good flavor. However, my overall impression of the sandwich was that it was really dry! I think the bread was fresh, but it was toasted it a way that it was dry (and hard) and there was not any additional moisture from the sandwich in the form of sauce, ingredients, etc. I got tired of chewing through the crusty bread by the time I finished. The flavors were great but the sandwich ate really dry. I had high expectations for my sandwich coming from here but it fell just a tad short.They have a parklet right outside where you can sit to enjoy your sandwich.

Was in a big mood for a good sandwich and found Alimentari Aurora. They change their menu for food items everyday, so everyday is a surprise! My boyfriend and I shared a pan pizza and both got a focaccia. My goodness the food was so good! I have nothing but good things to say. It was freshly made and you can taste it. The focaccia had avocado, heirloom tomatoes, carrot top chimichurri, arugula, and smoked mozzarella. I would only say I wish there was meat in the sandwich. If I'm in the area I'd definitely come again to see the sandwich of the day.

Walked in around 5:30pm on Friday to grab a snack. No wait, was able to place my order quick. Limited snack menu with 2 items but you can order meat and cheese from the case or open up a can of tinned fish. Seating is outside on their parklet, it was super cold so be prepared, they do provide blanket which was a super nice touch!Food: Pan y tomate - this was topped with a marinated mussel, pickled onions and peppers. The bread was nicely toasted, smeared with a thick tomato paste, mussels were plump and flavorful, pickled onions and peppers added a nice briney contrast. A very good snack. Service, great staff even checked up on me in the parklet since it was so cold. Overall a great spot for a light bite if you're in the Portero area, it is on the pricier end but quality was great. Store has a great selection of artisanal foods focused mostly on Italian imports. Tip you can also grab a glass of natural wine to pair with the snacks from Ruby's next door.

Lovely shop stocked with specialty foods and deli counter with daily specials. Their focaccia is revelatory! The texture, distinct sourdough flavor, and quality of ingredients make each bite a heavenly experience. Most recently, my husband and I shared the pizza focaccia slice and eggplant focaccia, as well as a beautiful platter of prosciutto and salami with pistachios. Truly a feast!You can take your food to go, dine in the parklet, or stop in at Ruby Wine next door to pair your meal with wine. If you're craving something sweet, their fig cookies make a delicious treat!

5/5 gourmet sandwiches and curated products.So blessed to have this hidden gem in our neighborhood.The owner made his own bread I think. He curated high quality ingredients and put together beautiful and delicious sandwiches.The menu changed daily so check their IG beforehand.The wooden outdoor patio has some seats if you want to dine in. Remember to grab some wine next door from Ruby Wine too.

Sandwich was incredible, was given a complimentary sample of a great cheese, and stocked with lots of cool snacks. Parklet looked really nice. Will be back.

Tiny gem! Had the only item listed on the special board- unique sourdough focaccia bread that my daughter said was the best bread she's had. Topped w/ whipped feta, arugula and Jimmy Nardello grilled peppers. Tasty, unique, special. $8 pizza slice, with a simple, tomato sauce on their delicious bread. A cabinet full of unique Italian speciality items. Cute place!

Really cute spot, very festive today as there was a party. I would go back, because I think maybe I visited on an off day. I ordered the focaccia pan pizza and it was just meh. A bit gummy, not much flavor. Based on the other reviews I really expected something special. I am interested in trying their other focaccias or their sandwiches so I would give it another shot.
