Italian grocery expands to Durham

Alimentari offers fresh pasta, sauces, Charcuterie and cheeses.

"Lots of fresh pork and beef," DeCarolis said, noting that Left Bank is a whole animal butchery. "All the pigs come from one place, one farm, Cane Creek Farms, and then all of the beef comes from another farm, Rayburn Farm."

There isn't enough beef and pork to offer at both locations, so the Durham space is offering additional products.

"In place of the fresh meat, we're selling farm vegetables, stuff that we would usually use at Mothers and Sons on our menu," DeCarolis. "We're using it, putting it in the case so we can still support our farms and provide that fresh stuff for our guests." The Durham location also has take and bake meals.

Both Alimentari locations are offering curbside pick-up, in addition to in-store shopping. Each location, however, is limiting the number of people inside to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"We still want to be a part of the community and we want to provide some kind of semblance of normalcy for our guests," DeCarolis said.
