This Family-Owned Italian Market in New Jersey Maintains Tradition | The Grocery List Show

Piccolo's Gastronomia Italiana market in New Jersey is meticulously curated by a brother and sister team, and even their young kids are training on traditions like making fresh mozzarella in-house. Brimming with hard-to-find imports, the store just smells like Italy. Join Chrissy Camba as she shops for hearty ingredients and then joins co-owner Nancy to make a simple, delicious pasta puttanesca.
