Bricco Salumeria and Pasta Shop

Bricco Salumeria and Pasta Shop is down Board Alley behind Hanover Street, with sandwiches for lunch and ingredients for dinner at home. The Italian combines mortadella, salami, soppressata and provolone with vegetables and hot peppers. Hot sandwiches include meatball, sausage with peppers and onions, and chicken or eggplant Parmigiana. For something different, the mortadella focaccia comes with stracciatella, pear jam and crushed pistachios. Beyond the sandwich counter, the shop makes pasta and stocks imported Italian meats, cheeses, olive oils, vinegars and tomatoes. It is a useful North End stop whether you need a meal now or want to cook later. Look for the alley entrance behind 241 Hanover Street.
