Antonio’s Italian Market Has Bottled Italy & Brought it to Palm Beach County!
D
omenick Panzarino was born in Italy, so he knows more than a thing or two about authentic Italian cuisine. His lovely wife, Gina, is also of Italian heritage, and has been back to Italy with Domenick to experience not only the vibrant culture, but also the unparalleled cuisine. It is with this extensive knowledge of genuine Italian flavors and cooking styles that Domenick and Gina successfully own and operate Antonio’s Italian Market in North Palm/Juno Beach — a legitimate Italian market, deli, caterer, and takeout/dine-in (for quick service)/delivery restaurant that offers extraordinarily exquisite homemade Italian cuisine as well as numerous food items — such as pastas, sauces, and snacks — imported directly from Italy.
It’s a generous portion that will most definitely satisfy your hunger without compromising on calories! Beyond the made-to-order sandwiches, paninis, and salads available at Antonio’s Italian Market is the different array each day of
From Antonio’s takeout menu, Abby and I sampled The Bella sandwich ($11.95), The Vincenzo panini ($11.95), and The Milano salad ($10.95). The Bella comes with your choice of chicken or eggplant, which is then topped with sweet roasted red peppers, hot capicola, melted imported provolone cheese, and rich blue cheese dressing. You almost have to unhinge your jaw to take your first bite, as the thick sandwich is generously stuffed with its ingredients! It’s cheesy, with just enough spice from the capicola, and the eggplant is mild and lightly breaded. Abby declared this sandwich as a “must-order item.” Antonio’s is known for their Italian sausage, so The Vincenzo panini was the perfect choice for Abby and me to try it. It’s made using scrumptiously savory, crunchy ciabatta bread that’s smeared with a slightly salty black olive paste, then loaded with tender-cooked broccoli rabe and your choice of mild or hot sausage. The mild sausage has a slight heat that’s cut by flavorful spices and the right ratio of salt. The olive spread, with a distinctive earthiness, complements the nutty broccoli rabe well. If you’re looking for lighter fare, then try The Milano salad — a lovely arrangement of fresh mixed greens, crisp, sliced pears, creamy gorgonzola, and sweet, toasted pecans that comes with a side of tangy honey mustard dressing.
authentic, homemade Italian dishes that are pre-made and available to warm up for quick, convenient takeout or, if you have more time, dine-in at one of the market’s two charming café-style tables. All of these meals, including the sandwiches, paninis, and salads, are available for catering service – perfect for the upcoming Easter and Passover holidays! Ordering catered food from Antonio’s Italian Market is essentially like bringing a real Italian into your home as a personal chef, as many of the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation of the Panzarino family (I mean, can you get any more Italian than that name?!). I cannot recommend Antonio’s freshly-baked focaccia highly enough… it is with full and complete sincerity that I tell you that this bread is hands-down the absolute best that I have ever had the pleasure to taste since first moving to South Florida 3 years ago. I mean, seriously, I will drive to Antonio’s for that focaccia no matter how much traffic there is and no matter how long it takes me to get there. It was pure, unadulterated bliss on my tongue, with a perfectly crunchy outside, über soft, pillowy inside, rustic seasonings, and sweet, slightly tangy, tomatoes on top to balance all of the rich flavors. I honestly felt like I was transported to the Italian countryside as I savored it. Meanwhile, Abby was floored by the eggplant parmesan, saying, “This is not your run-of-the-mill eggplant parm… the eggplant is thick, but not mushy or greasy, and the flavor of the homemade, chunky, slightly sweet sauce with it ties everything together. I would definitely order this again… it’s just so good!” She let me try a bite, but she enjoyed it so much that she kept the rest for herself! I didn’t argue, so long as I got to keep the focaccia… and, as you’ll soon read, Antonio’s pizza.
