The best place to find homemade cannoli, fresh pastas and any kind of olive oil you can imagine is Roma Imports. If you're looking for some real Italian eats or just some really good pasta salad from the deli, this tiny shop hidden in the industrial park south of Broadway Boulevard is a haven. Now there's even a restaurant inside, La Taverna, with seating for about 50, so you can nosh on Roma Imports' delicious homemade pizza with fresh dough, provolone, cappicola, pepperoni and kalamata olives. If you're in a hurry, head over to the deli counter and pick up a sandwich or a salad for the road.
