The Details on Jimmy Sunseri & Nino Co
Desserts:
All the traditional Italian favorites, like cannoli and sfogliatelli, which is a baked pastry that looks like a clam shell, and is filled with a creamy citrus confection.
Odds and Ends:
A must-do is the sausage sandwich. People truly do come from all over to enjoy this special treat. Sunseri's also carries some French, Greek and Spanish foods.
On the Squeeze Box:
If you're coming on Saturday, show up around 11:30 am or so, and see local accordion legend Mirella Volpe play fiesty Italian polkas and bittersweet love songs. A crowd favorite.
