Patrons of Salume Beddu know how much fun it is to visit the artisanal salumeria at 3467 Hampton Ave. Besides drooling over the guanciale, salsiccia and coppa offerings, shoppers inevitably end up chatting with the shop’s affable duo of Mark Sanfilippo and Ben Poremba. Soon cured meat- and cheese-lovers will have another reason to linger.
Beginning tomorrow, April 5, Salume Beddu will offer lunch. The shop will be open Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The lunch menu will feature items such as a salsiccia sandwich on locally made bread, a roast pork belly plate and a coppa and mozzarella plate. Sure, you could opt for carryout, but we’ll bet that you’d rather take a seat at that inviting communal wooden table. Be careful, noon will turn to 2 p.m. before you know it.
