Ciao from the market
A lighter Italian market, full of handmade little joys.
Welcome to La Delizia Italian Market, where fresh pasta, Italian gelato, focaccia sandwiches, pantry favorites, and ready-to-bake meals bring the feeling of an Italian market table to McAdenville.
“
This is the kind of place that feels like it came directly from Nonna's kitchen.
La Delizia is built around human connection: stopping in for gelato, choosing a bottle of olive oil, taking home a prepared Italian meal, or learning the craft behind handmade pasta.

Plan your visitMeet the Chef
Chef Rita Lizzi learned pasta the way it was meant to be learned: by hand.
Born in a small village in Italy, Rita began learning fresh pasta when she was six years old. Her grandmother was strict, loving, and unforgettable. She taught Rita how to feel the dough, judge measurements by eye, and above all, cook with love.
After working in restaurants across Italy and eventually coming to the United States, Rita discovered how deeply people appreciated pasta made without shortcuts. She still kneads everything by hand, and she now shares that craft through food, teaching, and the joy of seeing people gather around something made with care.
I never use a mixer; I knead everything by hand.
Gelato & desserts
A sweet reason to stop by.
Rich Italian gelato and an ever-rotating collection of desserts make La Delizia a place for afternoon treats, family visits, and small celebrations.
