Uncle Giuseppes Italian Market, Tampa

Fans of Italian cooking who cannot count on their non-Italian grandma to make them some fresh pasta with ragù should instead visit Uncle Giuseppe's Italian Market, a local restaurant with a variety of authentic Italian products. Their inventory includes ready-made sauces, smoked Italian salami, cheeses, sausages, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Here are some of their flagship dishes:

• Pizza: not just any pizza, but a wood-fired pizza with prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions, and Calabrese peppers
• Cannoli: regular or chocolate-covered tube-shaped pastry filled with ricotta-based filling and topped with pistachios, toasted almonds, or chocolate chips.
