Cantoro's Italian Market, Livonia, MI


If you're looking for anything Italian, relating to food or drink, then Cantoro's Market is where to go. It is a small little store located on Middlebelt Road between 7 and 8 mile that is tucked away, so be sure to look out for their sign. The parking lot is small, but if you get there at the right time, there will be no hassle. During the day, during the week is the best time to go to to Cantoro's, if you go on the weekends prepare to park in cramped quarters. Christmas and Easter time is just a zoo at Cantoro's and I would recommend doing seasonal food shopping there a week or two before. The market itself is actually quite small, but you would never realize that with the abundance of Italian foods that it holds. Any Italian food you want, you will find at Cantoro's...they have a whole aisle of pasta, freezers full of pasta, a deli full of imported meats and cheese, a counter specifically for squid, olives, and other antipasti, an abundance of pannetone and other desserts, a small bakery with bread and pastries all cooked on site, and even travel-size Nutella packages. Almost everything is imported and Cantoro's, by far, has the best prosciuto di Parma that I have ever tasted, and I have had a lot of prosciutto in my Italian family. Whether it's for a quick Nutella fix or for a large gathering, Cantoro's Market is your place to go for any and all Italian foods you may need.
