Prosciutto e Parmigiano ham&cheese To Go
About
The tiny but iconic ham and cheese emporium sits tucked between Venice’s bustling Rialto Bridge and the tranquil courtyard of St. Mark’s Square, just steps from the majestic Santa Maria Formosa bell tower. From the moment you step inside, the scent of cured meats and creamy cheeses transports you to the heart of Italy’s culinary tradition. Prosciutto e Parmigiano offers a curated selection of hand‑cut Parma and San Daniele prosciutto, fine Parmigiano‑Reggiano, locally‑made salami, and other regional specialties—all freshly prepared on site. With a friendly, multilingual staff that speaks both Italian and English, the shop provides a relaxed “take‑away” service complete with sample plates, so you can savor a bite of Italy even while you’re on the go. For those traveling light, the store offers vacuum‑sealed packaging to keep your purchases airtight and fragrant, and an optional home‑delivery service that brings your favorites straight to your doorstep in the city. Whether you’re a seasoned food connoisseur or a casual traveler looking for the perfect souvenir, Prosciutto e Parmigiano blends authentic flavor, convenient location, and genuine hospitality into a memorable Venetian experience.
