Wow, what a great shop! Loaded with Italian specialties. Very friendly staff. We stopped in for a tasting and got some Sicilian blood orange candies and soda. We went back before we left town and grabbed a bottle of one of the wines we had tasted.

This wonderful shop located off of Talbot Street in St Michael’s is a little bit of gluten-free heaven on Earth. This shop has awesome gluten-free Italian food that are hard to find anywhere else. They have – for example – gluten-free panettone! Is that awesome or what! I attach a few photos of the panettone. The panettone has an orange flavor. I really like it because it is sweet but not overly sweet. It has orange zest and raisins.
And they will ship food straight to your house! I have found their service is very prompt. They usually ship your order a few days after you place the order.
They have an entire gluten-free section in their store including a nice selection of gluten free pasta and cookies. They also have a lot of sauces and other gourmet items like olives stuffed with tomatoes, pesto, grilled artichokes in sunflower oil, and risotto mixes, that are gluten free but they are not in the gluten-free section.
The owner is very knowledgeable about the items in her store. She speaks like she has personally tasted every single item in the store. And she is also very well aware of what items are gluten free. One member of the staff at the store is herself a celiac so she can tell you from personal experience which items are gluten free.
It’s a destination worth visiting if you are in the St. Michael’s area. Be sure to bring a big car if you can because you might want to buy a lot of things when you’re here.
They also have very hard to find Italian wines that are really yummy. To purchase the wines you must visit the shop in person. They are not able to ship the wines. Most of the wines are $20 or less and they are great. Many are limited production runs you cannot find anywhere else in the US. There are also free wine tastings at the shop. All the wines we tasted the day we visited were of exceptional quality. And if you’re in the area go down the street a few blocks and visit the gluten free bakery girl. That is a 100% gluten free bakery which is really awesome.

What a fantastic group of women who run this store. My mom and I have started a tradition of coming to St. Michaels from DC for girls days which always end at Simpatico. We load the car up with all kinds of goodies and catch up with the ladies about their latest finds. Wine, pastas, fun liquors, chocolates, etc. You can’t go wrong visiting this store. Also most weekends I think they offer tastings which has always been fun.

The staff was super friendly. We went 3 times and had three different people greet us and talk to us about the store. Nice Italian items. We got the blue zone wine as a gift. They had lots of cool Italian wines, oils, treats, etc. Not a ton of stuff to take and eat for a ready made meal, but cool friendly place.

I could spend hours in this tiny Italian goods store. Excellent wine selection, cheese options, and pasta. They will even put together an antipasti platter for you and deliver it to your boat! I don’t own a boat but I’m still impressed.
