Satrioli’s Sausage Shop

Satrioli’s Sausage Shop is a thriving business that offers a wide selection of sausages, cured meats, imported cheeses, and other delicacies to the workers of the Artisan’s District. It occupies the ground floor of a stone building; the wooden storey above is rented out by the large family of Halflings who help the Satriolis cope with their rapidly expanding customer-base. Beneath the shop, there is a sizeable cellar used as a storeroom. There are a number of tables and benches outside the shop, but many customers take their food away to eat at home or in their place of work.

Gino Satrioli is a charming Basarji with dark hair, a ready grin, and no trace of his foreign accent. He tends the shop with his wife Carla, a woman known locally for her exotic beauty, and their son Furio, a boy of uncommon intelligence. They employ a gaggle of Halflings to assist with day-to-day tasks, and the small folk can be found scurrying about the shop at all hours.

There are rumours that many of the sausages are in fact made by the Halflings, and not by the Satriolis, but given the diminutive folk’s reputation for culinary skill, nobody is complaining.
