Meet n’ Cheese at the Citadel

Mauro Bortignon and a charcuterie cone

In this corner of the new Citadel food hall, it’s grab-and-go, Italian-style: handy cones heaped with wedges of pink mortadella and salame, rustic breadsticks, a couple of chunks of Parmigiano and an olive or two. Or pick up panini, a salad with fresh mozzarella, a San Pellegrino aranciata. The prices are fair – panini start at $4.50 – and the products are as Italian as the Vespa Mauro Bortignon drives around town. Originally from Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto, Bortignon has assembled an easy menu with options like a charcuterie board, perfect for a group of friends hanging out at this Little River hotspot.
