As the world’s largest Mazzaro’s Italian Market fan, when I heard about a new spot opening closer to the radio station, I got a little excited. DeCosmo Italian Market is doing a soft opening right now, but they are already packed during lunch hour.

Word spreads quickly among us northern transplants when places like this open up. I heard a lot of New York accents in my short visit today. So how does DeCosmo measure up against Mazzaro’s? Let’s eat.
