When one thinks of Bushwick, the words "graffiti" or "hipsters" probably come to mind. When one thinks of food in the neighborhood, quite a few pizza places, authentic taco spots, solid bodega sammies, and a variety of cuisines in between may make your mouth water. 

While yes, the neighborhood has a plethora of awesome options for food, there really was a gap in a quintessential category until this authentic Italian American deli popped up on March 1st. Carmenta's, situated on the corner of Starr and Wilson, is all about recreating your favorite homestyle Italian sandwiches and pastas with a sophisticated twist and high quality ingredients.
