About "A" Taste of Italy

“A” Taste of Italy is family owned and managed by Mina, son Joseph, and Anthony Bompartito.  The Bompartitos moved here when the New York -based electronic engineering company Anthony works for transferred to the Spring House/Lower Gwynedd area.  "We immediately went into culture shock," says Anthony. "We couldn't find good breads or Italian specialty products, so we had to go back to New York once a week for foods we were accustomed to, that were not readily available.” The Bompartito’s brought a little of New York into the area

The Bompartito’s research failed to find existing stores like the one they envisioned.  Stimulated by Mina's natural talent for the love of cooking, they decided to open “A” Taste of Italy.   That was in 1995 and they have never regretted their decision.

“A” Taste of Italy carries specialty products including; homemade sausage, fresh mozzarella and other specialty meat items, cheeses, pastas, salads-an array of foods that are typical table fare in an Italian household.  This is a well-traveled area," Anthony says, "and the people who come here have sophisticated palates, are willing to try new things, and "  Patrons flock from Lower Gwynedd, Spring House, Ambler, Montgomeryville, Blue Bell, and even Flourtown and Plymouth Meeting.

“A” Taste of Italy is a storehouse of delectable imported oils and vinegars you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.  But there is more to “A” Taste of Italy than olive oils and vinegars and imported cheeses.  Mina's home-cooked specialties derive from a wealth of family recipes such as Aunt Lidia’s stuffed baked spaghetti pie, Uncle Mario’s stuffed porchetta, Mama’s Spanish rice, Grandma Paolina’s rice balls, Aunt Giovanna’s Escarole pie, Uncle Vito’s homemade cheese, Uncle Mike’s pizza recipe, Aunt Sophie’s poached salmon, and Mina’s own vodka cream sauce, just to name a few.

“A” Taste of Italy offers an array of prepared foods for take out as well as the best hoagies, hot sandwiches, pizzas and salads.  All orders are made with fresh ingredients with no preservatives of any type.  Every day fresh bagels, breads, cakes and pastries are delivered from New York, stocking the best bakery in the area.
