Want to hear a secret… This is the best Italian sandwich around... and you won't find it anywhere near the North End.

You can only get it at the Waverly Market in Framingham... The area’s best kept secret for great Italian sandwiches, pastas, dinners, and desserts. But nothing is more mouth-watering than the Italian.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "There's nothing like our Italian sandwich. Because our Italian sandwich is different than any other Italian. I'm not saying it's better, but it's different."

He won't say it’s better, but we will. This Italian sandwich is built on two ingredients you can only get at the Waverly Market, homemade sausage and highly seasoned, slow roasted pork, known as porketta. And that's just the beginning…

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "Plus the best grade Genoa Salami goes into it. The best grade Mortadella goes into it. The best grade cooked Salami... Capicola and Provolone cheese. And then if you want you can get anything on it... Whatever you want, we'll put it on."

With that symphony of Italian flavors, this is one sandwich you'll want to savor.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "Relax. Take a few minutes, don't wolf this food down, enjoy it."

And there's plenty more to enjoy...
Like tender Roast Beef, cooked on site, and sliced nice and thin...
Sauce smothered, cheese covered, Chicken Parm that's baked, not fried...
And a Meatball sub so good, you won't mind staining your shirt.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "I always suggest, don't cut it in half, it's a lot easier to eat it whole."

In addition to the sandwiches, the Waverly Market is packed with goodies to take home and cook yourself… including Veal Saltimboca patties that make a burger like you've never had before... Manicotti stuffed with chicken, cheese, and portobellos... And meatballs and sauce that can turn any kitchen klutz into an Italian grandmother.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "When they get home late from work and they want something good and easy, they bake off the meatballs, heat up the sauce, and they're ready to eat."

For dessert, cannoli are always filled to order, never ahead of time. And the Ricotta Pie is so good, you'll moan with delight over every bite.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "The crust is made like a cookie crust. The filling has a little bit of mascarpone cheese in it. So when you eat the ricotta pie, you enjoy the crust as much as the filling."

Even with all this incredible Italian food, small neighborhood places like the Waverly Market can struggle to survive. But owner David Stefanini is the third generation running this family business, delivering the same personal touch customers have known for decades.

David Stefanini - Owner, Waverly Market: "It's nice to see something go from one generation to the next. I think my grandfather would be very proud of me today."

For great Italian food, the secret is out, about the Waverly Market, a Phantom Gourmet... Hidden Jewel.
