Tempesta Market sits on West Grand Avenue in West Town, built by the father-and-son team of Agostino and Tony Fiasche, who also run Nduja Artisans Salumeria — a company known for producing the spicy, spreadable Calabrian cured sausage that gives this shop its name. "Tempesta" means strong wind gusts or storms in Italian, a nod to both the Windy City and the company's own quick rise.
The counter menu runs on named sandwiches: The Dante, Zeppo's Meatball Achievement, D.D. Brindisi's Grand Pastrami, and a Cubano, with the Caprese covering vegetarian ground. 'Nduja Arancini and a rotating Chicken & Dumpling Soup round out the offerings.
Beyond the daily counter, Tempesta runs a catering operation for weddings, corporate events, and parties, and hosts private gatherings on-site.
