This classic Italian Deli was started by Leo & Iris Micucci in 1950 on Middle Street in Portland.
The business catered mostly to what was at the time, Portland’s “Little Italy.”
Mr. Micucci was one of the first to supply Maine’s pizza shops, which included Angelone’s in Portland, Luiggi’s in Lewiston and Pat’s Pizza in Orono.
The ‘Sicilian Slab’ that can be found in the back of the shop gets rave reviews, even on Yelp.
And anyone who has spent anytime in Italy will be happy to find all the tasty items most Americans haven’t yet discovered.
It’s only steps from Duckfat, and just down the street from Hugo’s. Foodies should love this neighborhood.
