Frascati Market

An amazing Italian shop inside the market. Their food always looks fresh and delicious. I finally tried their kids-size vodka penne. It tasted authentic and flavorful. I would like to try their good looking sandwiches and bread. Some raw pasta and gifts are available.

I stopped by Frascati Market at The Little Grand and had the spicy salami sandwich and wow, it was heavenly. The focaccia bread was soft, fresh, and full of flavor, and the salami was just the right amount to balance everything out. Every bite was so satisfying and I honestly didn’t want it to end. They also have a really nice drink selection. I grabbed a non-alcoholic bellini and it was light, refreshing, and so good alongside the sandwich. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back to this Italian deli next time I’m at The Little Grand.

Everything was fresh and very delicious. The Focaccia bread for the sandwich was just perfect! Looking forward to trying something different very soon. Hats off to Ryan the baker! I was delighted to see him baking bread again. He used to have the best pizza in Columbus or anywhere for that matter! I hope someday he opens up another pizza shop.

The Italian sandwich was phenomenal. And I truly appreciated the sample of the roast beet salad. I wish they offer a side salad option of a half sandwich salad combo. I knew I couldn’t eat both, and I wasn’t in a position to take leftovers with me.

The ham and pesto sandwich is just like what you would get in Italy. A good amount of toppings too. The wedding soup is flavorful, but doesn't have tiny meatballs. I haven't tried the desserts yet, but they look great too.

The spicy salami is delicious! My husband and I split it because it was so large. Great spice!

I was hoping this expensive sandwich wouldn’t be “worth it,” but, unfortunately, it was, and now my sandwich budget continues to balloon. I really just wanted to have tried something from every place in the market— to check the box— and now I keep thinking about this damn sandwich.

Came opening weekend, so they were obviously very busy. Despite this, they were incredibly kind and gracious, quick to respond to questions, and have outstanding imported Italian goods, as well as authentic dried pasta. while waiting, I watched bakers weighing flour, quickly assembling sandwiches, and restocking fresh salads. They have NA Negroni options (LOVE this!) and had imported Italian sodas. I adore stracciatella (the inside of burrata, the gooey curds that are just beyond)- they have a sandwich with stracciatella but I asked and they will soon be selling. Which is outstanding, as I’ve only found at Littleton’s Market in this area of Columbus. Overall, outstanding food. Very fresh, friendly, and quality ingredients. I personally was in the mood for a light lunch, so I did the Caesar salad (no chicken) and large charcuterie “to go” from case ($13 for single/$26 for two; comes with fresh focaccia). The large was so I could take 2/3rds home to husband. And it was so good. I unfortunately neglected to take a photo, so will have to next visit. Definitely will do very well!
