September 11, 2023, Rocky Hill, CT: An exciting culinary experience opened on September 6, 2023, at 397 Cromwell Avenue in Rocky Hill, CT. Ani’s Table & Marketplace, a new retail food destination, is presented by Chef/Caterer Ani Robaina. Located in the former DiFiore Ravioli Shop, a beloved family-owned and operated Italian market for over 40 years, Chef Ani has transformed the space into a prepared foods, espresso bar, pantry, and home goods market, an oasis for home entertaining and for those who simply want to incorporate eating well into their busy lifestyle.Food enthusiasts can enjoy a welcoming market filled with Chef Ani’s scratch-prepared foods including a variety of sauces, seasonal soups and salads, Chef Ani’s signature international fare, locally sourced produce, and artisan products such as DiFiore Ravioli! The espresso bar features Chef Ani’s proprietary espresso blends, roasted by CT’s Shearwater Coffee Company, which are sold in ground and bean form, as well as transformed into your morning cup of joe and Chef Ani’s popular sweet and creamy Vietnamese coffee.
In addition to Chef Ani’s Table & Marketplace prepared food selections, its market shelves are filled with specialty pantry ingredients, meats and cheeses, and fresh produce and flowers, much of which is sourced from local farms and artisans, along with merchandise and foods from Mierco Italian Linens, Rubirosa Olive Oil, Pasta and Sauces, the CT Flower Collective, Difiori Ravioli, and La Narval seafood specialties. Playful “Birds & Desserts” culinary artwork by local artists Dora Dylanne Reyes and Don Carter adorn the walls and are for sale.
“We are thrilled to begin this next chapter of Ani’s Table and create a Marketplace that provides food that comforts you and perhaps makes your life a little easier, “says Chef Ani Robaina, “The Marketplace features many of my favorite things produced by some the best of artisans and food companies I have worked with over the years. We are excited to share these products with you.”
