About Little Italy Market

Little Italy Market is a specialty grocery and deli at 421 E 3rd Street. The shelves run floor to ceiling with imported pastas, olive oils, sauces, olives, capers, jams, cookies and snacks, plus a cooler of Italian sodas and freezers of frozen foods. There are tables for eating in.

The deli makes hot and cold sandwiches to order, all served on toasted baguettes. Cold options include Many Meats, Prosciutto, Prosciutto Cotto, Pastrami, Ham, Turkey, Calabrese and Veggie. Hot options include Chicken Parm, Chicken Cutlet, Meatball, Steak Filet Mignon and Shawarma. Most sandwiches run $17 to $23 (menu as of October 2026).

Any sandwich can be topped with giardiniera hot peppers, roasted red peppers or sundried tomatoes, and hot sandwiches can be made spicy with jerk seasoning. The house pesto contains nuts, and a nut-free pesto is available on request.

For dessert there’s cannoli (plain or chocolate chip) and tiramisu sold by weight. The market also caters, with meat and cheese trays, veggie trays, dinners and desserts.

The City of Bloomington lists it among local independent grocers, and it was about ten years old in 2024.
