Holly Gordon gets out to Belmont Food Shop:

While walking by one snowy evening recently, I noticed a new sign with what appeared to be a menu on it. When my companion and I stopped to look at it, we were invited inside by a man in a bowler hat offering us free truffles. […]

Before we became wary of taking candy from strangers, we soon learned that the man in the bowler was owner Steven Ristretti, and the shop did have food, but was only offering boxed lunches for now. The space next door was awaiting city approval to allow seating. Boxed lunches include a sandwich, a side, and a beverage for $12 with tax. A handful of options are available, like the crabcake on a Sally Lunn roll; roast beef and caramelized onions on Focaccia; and smoked mozzarella, roasted vegetable terrine, and arugula on black pepper potato bread.
