The shop is a brick-and-mortar concept of catering company DC Vegan Catering, which was founded in 2015 by Michael and Leah Moon. The new deli offers a full menu featuring shareables such as cauliflower wings and king trumpet calamari; deli sandwiches such as the Chickpea Cutlet Club with housemade chickpea cutlet and vegan bacon, and the Sausage Rapini with Italian sausage and grilled rapini; bowls such as the Beefy Bowl with braised jackfruit, fresh greens, and cauliflower rice; and salads such as Caesar or Classic Italian. The shop also offers specialty items in its dessert and deli cases.
Who doesn’t love dessert?
Bakeries seem to be among the most popular businesses to open these days, at least in South Jersey.
Maybe it’s because we’re still in a pandemic and people like to have dessert to look forward to. Cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, never seem to get old, do they?
If you like your dessert without less guilt, a place in Palmyra is churning out protein waffles and doughnuts.
Foodies can also explore a new vegan café in Beverly and a new chicken place in Mount Holly that considers Chick-fil-A a competitor.
Here s a look at 15 new places to eat and drink in South Jersey - and bakeries are definitely a recurring theme:
Vegan Italian Deli Galioto s Opens In Little Italy View all 15
Nicole Galioto and her brother Nima Garos grew up in Little Italy, their extended family an integral part of a tight-knit community. Galioto still lives on Mulberry Street, and Garos, along with their buddy Karoosh Bakhtiar, runs Jajaja, the excellent plant-based Mexican restaurant with two locations downtown. In other words, if anyone can pull off an old-school Italian deli that s also 100% vegan, it s these guys.
And so we get Galioto s Family Delicatessen, a classic-feeling NYC spot named in honor of the siblings father, who passed away not long ago and can be seen in several of the many family photos that are all over the place here. My dad was not the most healthy eater, says Nicole. Which is one of the reasons why we wanted to give the community a more health-conscious option for grabbing a bite or getting some groceries.
