Any real italian spots in UES
There's no nice way to say this, but the spanish teenager A & V had making the mozz two Sundays ago was not who I was expecting to see and I doubt he is experienced - this is an art!! The mozz was not moist when cut and had no flavor. Frankly, it was bad. The achilles heel of the UES is italian deli's!!

Thanks to everyone - but yours was the perfect answer!!
Any real italian spots in UES
I just moved to the UES and I've been looking for some italian deli's, pork stores, pastry shops, bread bakeries etc.. I cannot stand these "italian supermarkets" like Agata & Valentina and Citarella... Just as I would not bring my car's transmission to be serviced in a car wash/jiffy lube - I will not buy fresh mozz from a place that makes cookies and bread and has butcher etc... Its just too much - no artisanship!!! And the mozz from A&V was not up to par... I'm looking for a great butcher and maybe a great cheese guy - a pork store etc... Can anyone point me in the right direction - or should I just head downtown or to Brooklyn or Jersey?
