Bites Nearby: Italian Gourmet

This gourmet deli in North Potomac offers sandwiches, salads, cheese and pasta.

So much more than a neighborhood deli… in the Shops at Potomac Valley takes “deli” to the next level. 

Since owner, Sam Kim, took over the Italian Gourmet Market two and a half years ago, he has been plotting his course for niche market success. 

Starting with the sub, the Market offers a mouth-watering array of Italian and Specialty Sub sandwiches loaded with fresh, high quality meats and cheeses.  The True Italian is truly a customer favorite with Ham, Prosciuttini (spiced prosciutto), Genoa Salami and Provolone cheese.  A number of sandwiches feature the Italian Gourmet Market’s homemade mozzarella cheese like the Italian Meatball sub, or the Vincenzo with Prosciutto and Mortadella.

If you like your sandwich grilled, then chances are you won’t know which Market Panini to choose.  The Caprese Panini with fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, fresh basil and tomatoes is always a lunchtime front runner.  But a close second is the Italian Lunch Panini with Turkey, fresh mozzarella, sweet peppers and tomatoes. 

Beyond the sandwich, Italian Gourmet Market offers traditional Italian cuisine that includes fresh homemade Lasagna, Meatballs, Pasta Salads, and the most delectable Eggplant Parmigiana.

And for the gourmet cook, the Market has imported confections, cheeses, jams, condiments, pastas –all things Italiano, as well as a fine assortment of specialty imported wines that you won’t find anywhere else. 

To complete the “Italian” in Italian Gourmet Market, pizza is now being served.  With the perfect homemade crust and blend of cheeses and sauce, the Market’s pizza has become an overnight success.  It is not just a market, or just a deli…. It is so much more.
