Aricca Market Brings a Taste of Italy to La Jolla


Foodies everywhere are always on the hunt for the next best item to blow their palatal minds. Aricca Market, on Girard Avenue in La Jolla, offers a wide range of high-quality ingredients for food-lovers everywhere. The market was founded by Robert Pascucci and Stephanie Savchuk, and opened on June 14. The two share a passion for food and, after being exasperated at having to travel to several markets for ingredients, decided to open a one-stop-shop for Italian gourmet items.

Aricca Market boasts an impressive selection of imported and local goods. All the pasta is made fresh, on-premises, daily, with specialty pastas including beer and pretzel spaghetti. They also have a wide range of Italian imported dried pasta. All meat products are acquired from local producers or are imported from Italy and Spain. They have 23 different types of meat to choose from, allowing for limitless creativity when cooking. Cheese is an Aricca pride, and they are adding more types of cheese to their stock all the time. Aricca endeavors to create an environment where people can come and try new things but still have the items they love on hand. This market isn’t just for professional chefs; it is for regular people who want to experience real Italian food at home without hours of preparation.

Once you have sated your palate with delicious food, satisfy your visual senses with local contemporary art at Thumbprint Gallery, on Kline Street in La Jolla. The La Jolla art gallery is open Wendesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12-4pm.
