Reviews of Épicerie Alimentari Sud show a mixed picture: some customers praise delicious paninis, burrata when included, excellent bread, and a wide array of Italian cookies and chips, while others report frequent stockouts of pizza sauce in this small Italian specialty shop and occasional service lapses, including forgetting items in orders and discrepancies between online hours and actual closing times. The space is described as a bit off the beaten path and charming, with great sandwich options like the Bomba and a prosciutto sandwich and friendly staff, though prices can feel slightly high. Some readers question being an epicerie in name given the emphasis on prepared foods, and say they would not return for Italian products if stock and accuracy do not improve. Overall, Épicerie Alimentari Sud comes across as a place with potential, delivering flavorful hits when items are available, and a mix of misses that affects consistency.
Juste waw, le pain etait super frai & croquant, le proprietaire etait adorable, vraiment on sens sa passion & son talent dans la cuisine & les choix qui sont offert. Je recommande a tout le monde
I got the Margherita salad with Italian sausage, the salad itself was good & the sausage tasted good but the texture of the sausage was dry & really hard to chew like they microwaved the sausages. My partners sandwich was yummy but they forgot about it so it took a really long time. Doesn't seem well organized but the sandwich was really good. I wouldn't recommend the Italian sausage.
"Nous cherchions un endroit pour déguster un bon sandwich, & nous avons trouvé la perle rare ! Cet établissement propose également des produits de fine cuisine italienne. Jack, ou plutôt Giacomo, nous a accueillis avec chaleur, mettant en avant ses origines italiennes. C'était tout simplement parfait !"

So happy to have found a spot on the south shore doing Italian style panini sandwiches right. Had the prosciutto/fig/brie & it was excellent. Cool cat named Jack served me.
We went there for gelato, not only it cost a fortune for a pre melted gelato. My husband had to drink his cup before I had the time to receive mine. Very little portion for a high price. The person serving us was not very kind, I asked for napkin since the husband had to drink his gelato & I was giving one little piece with attitude ... I was shocked ! I wish I had good comments to write :-/ I don't understand the hype of this place.
How unfortunate that the "panini" are made with very thin flat bread that does not hold the ingredients while eating Chicken sandwich contained about 6 pieces of tasty chicken. The salad was OK because of the mayonnaise since the taste of either tomato or basil pesto was not there. On a brighter note, there is a big variety of Italian food goods for purchase
