A&G Fine Foods Italian Deli, which opened in November, 2007, 2, is managed by Anthony Gramaglia, who owns another of the deli’s locations in Fords. The business itself has been family-run since 1971, and Gramaglia says he and the deli’s proprietor — Gino Iannuzzi — hope to continue that friendly business model here.
Gramaglia and Iannuzzi are originally from Brooklyn, but now Gramaglia lives in Warren, and Iannuzzi in Monroe. Gramaglia’s father and uncle started the business in the northern part of the state, and the list of locations grew to include Warren, Fords, Middlesex, and Somerset, before they made their way here.
The deli does catering and specializes in a variety of Italian dishes. Gramaglia pointed to the homemade Italian sausages, fresh mozzarella, paninis and focaccia, to name a few. It also has a selection of imported and domestic Italian cheeses and other specialty cut meats, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegars, capers, anchovies, and pasta. The bakery features artesian breads, cannolis, sfogliatelle, homemade gelato and a variety of biscottis.
“We got a good tip on the township,” Gramaglia said in reference to what led the two to open another location in Plainsboro. “Everything was right for us to come here. Plainsboro needed something like this.”
Gramaglia said that patrons to the store will notice that “it’s like shopping with family all the time,” and that they will be able to find items that they won’t be able to find in chain food stores.
