Italy, Locally Poured

Why Pellegrini’s Olive Oil is Meant to be Tasted, Shared, & Brought Home

Step inside Pellegrini’s Cucina Italiana and you’ll discover something many diners don’t expect: a thoughtfully curated Italian Market that brings the soul of Italy straight to Greeley—one bottle, basket, and bite at a time.

While Pellegrini’s kitchen honors Italian tradition through handmade pastas, slow-simmered sauces, house-made tiramisu, and bread baked with care, the Market is where guests can take that experience home. Here, authenticity isn’t a buzzword—it’s a relationship. Many of the products are sourced directly from Italy or created in partnership with Italian artisans working in the U.S., preserving the flavors and standards Italians expect at their own tables.

At the heart of the Market is Guglielmi Olive Oil from Puglia, produced near Carlo Pellegrini’s hometown of Bisceglie. These oils—pressed from ancient Coratina and Peranzana olives—are bold, peppery, aromatic, and meant to be tasted. They’re not used in the restaurant’s daily cooking (their quality is simply too exceptional), but they are offered intentionally for finishing dishes at home: drizzled over vegetables, warm bread, soups, seafood, or enjoyed on their own. It’s an olive oil experience most Americans have never had—and one that changes how you think about flavor.

The Market shelves also feature Italian desserts from Bindi, a legendary name found in cafés across Italy, ladyfingers imported directly from Italy, and specialty cheeses crafted in the U.S. by Italian experts who understand what true Parmigiano and Pecorino should taste like. Every item is chosen with the same philosophy as the menu: respect tradition, honor quality, and share something meaningful.

Beautifully assembled gift baskets make it easy to give more than a present—they offer a story, a memory, and a taste of Italy. Whether you’re shopping for a host gift, elevating your pantry, or treating yourself, Pellegrini’s Italian Market invites you to bring home what Italians value most: simple ingredients, exceptional craftsmanship, and food meant to be shared.
