There is the place on Shepherd by the RR tracks overpass.

Phoenicia has a fair amount of Italian products.

Can you be a trifle more specific? (I'm from Austin.)

RE:  Nundini's

What sort of stuff do they have?  Sausages?  Cheese?  Olives?  Bacala?  Or 
more canned goods pasta, olives, capers, that sort of thing?  Anything 
frozen, like ravioli?

Intrigued...

I'm still looking for my Bono Olive oil--- can't find anyone who carries it 
locally.  It used to be Bonolio, but now it's just Bono.  It tasted like 
bananas----my all time favorite EV olive oil.

Nor did I take it as insult. I was just thinking, "Gee, I *have* been by 
there!" 

Again, thanks.

They have some meats including sausages.  They have some cured cheese 
but I do not remember any pecorino.  Certainly olives & canned goods but 
I do not remember anything frozen except the gelatto.  Then again, I 
wasn't looking for that.

As an aside Phoenicia has some vacuum packed gnocchi.  I know it cannot 
be the home made thing but it was good.
