\"Gloriosos<\/a>Seventy-year-old Glorioso’s<\/a> in Milwaukee is one of several fine Italian deli\/groceries\u00a0the city has to offer.<\/p>\n

If it’s even remotely Italian, Glorioso’s has it on the shelf, in the counter or in the cooler. It’s a wonderland for foodies and cooks alike.\u00a0 Naturally, I stocked up.\u00a0 Sausages. Cheese. A muffaletta sandwich. So let’s talk about that.\u00a0 Purportely invented a zillion years ago by immigrants in New Orleans, the “muff” is traditionally a nine inch round loaf, bedazzled with sesame seeds, with two or three types of Italian cold cuts, cheese, and topped with “olive salad” – which is finely diced vegetables and olives in oil.<\/p>\n

The result is a messy wonderland – most people can’t eat a whole one, and happily, Glorioso’s has “halves” in their counter.<\/p>\n

I put away more than my share, living in New Orleans, and have written about several of them<\/a>. Tourists like to go to the store that is supposedly the birthplace. I prefer a dive bar uptown.<\/p>\n

Glorioso’s could easily pass in New Orleans.\u00a0 I enjoyed it. If I knew how much I was going to like it, I’d have stocked up. Only “complaint?”\u00a0 A little light on the olive salad.\u00a0 \u00a0(I bought a jar of their mix to bring home, as well).<\/p>\n

Scored a fantastic dry salami, “Licini Cacciatore.”\u00a0 I love when processed meats actually taste like the animal they came from, and this is so\"Gloriosos<\/a>me great pork.\u00a0 BTW, the name means (Cacciatore) “hunter”\u00a0 and (Lincini) Bent or pointing upwards.\u00a0 It’s a very hard salami, with a robust flavor.<\/p>\n

Their beef\/pork meatballs have a great flavor, run about a buck apiece, I brought home four to try. They have an awful lot of ingredients compared to\u00a0the ones I make at home, which are just beef, pork, milk, bread, fennel, parsley, garlic and basil.\u00a0 Glorioso’s balls are a very fine grind, good for the mass appeal market. My own balls have a rougher texture, chewier. My preference only.<\/p>\n

Salads, olives, meats, cheese, entrees, they are all in the counter. You can order a sandwich or a plate, pasta, panini or pizza. (They have take and bakes also).\u00a0 Their full menu is below.<\/p>\n

Staff is personable and knowledgeable about the products.<\/p>\n

Really worth a stop if you are passing through.\u00a0 Really worth being on your regular shopping route if you live there. I will be back. Often.\u00a0 (I had planned on writing more, but doing this made me hungry, have to go see what I have left from my trip!)<\/p>\n
