There's heavy overlap but they aren't identical. Mediterranean includes Greek and Italian; Middle Eastern includes Persian and Gulf cuisines. Levantine food (Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian) is the shared core, which is why the labels are often interchangeable.

A salumeria is specifically Italian — cured meats, cheeses, and pantry. A Mediterranean market is broader, mixing Italian inventory with Greek, Levantine, Turkish, and sometimes North African goods under one roof.
Some do — particularly Levantine and Turkish-owned shops. Greek and Italian-leaning markets typically don't. See our halal market guide for halal-focused directories.
