AA. Litteri. Ah, the Italians -- bless 'em. They gave us pizza,
which, in turn, gave late-night revelers something to chew on: the
jumbo slice. But for an even better taste of Italy, visit A.
Litteri, Washington's oldest Italian grocery store. Open since 1926,
it's still a draw for Italian Americans looking to buy red wine
vinegar by the gallon or a prosciutto "end," the hoof section of
meat that's left after the leg has been sliced away, used to flavor
pasta and soups. Check out the house-made sausage, buy ready-to-
bake pizza crusts or, for a prepared meal, try Litteri's meaty
sandwiches -- a six-foot Italian cold-cut sub will serve 22.
Mangia!
A. Litteri, 517-519 Morse St. NE. ...
