Dina and her staff catered our “boys weekend” and did a fabulous job. We had lasagna and meatballs one night and rib eye steaks the next. Also, charcuterie board, salad, Gelato and tiramisu for desert. The food was outstanding and plentiful. The process was easy to coordinate and all went smoothly. Thank you!

I used Fresh Italian Eats as catering for a work function up on the base and Dina has been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She accommodated my short lead up time, worked with me on the budget I had and was very prompt and responsive on all my inquiries and requests. The presentation was amazing and she thought of everything. Everyone was raving about the food afterwards! I highly recommend this local North Bay business for your next catering needs and will be spreading the word to colleagues for future functions and personal purchases.

Amazing service, amazing fresh sandwiches at the deli there. Perfect frozen goods! Have tried so much from 3 different sauces which were all fantastic, pasta which was awesome, 4 different gelato’s and they were sooo good! And a few of the snacks that are around the store and I do not have a bad review of anything.

Delicious! Dina not only has catered for events at our wedding venue (Black Saddle Barn), but we have also got her food for our own events. It’s always so delicious and fresh! Highly, highly recommend for lunch, dinner, or catering parts of your next event!

This is a unique boutique grocery and deli in downtown North Bay. Featuring a variety of Italian breads, meats, treats and more, you're sure to feel at home from the moment you step in. There is free 1 hour parking weekdays making this a convenient drop in. There is an accessibility issue with the small step and doorway that may get resolved. Other than those accessibility issues you will find this your new fave grocery.
