10 Best Italian grocery stores in United States

This store need to be investigated and shut down. I go here only because of the convenience and they know this about a lot of customers around here and a lot of customers are immigrants so they will not complain about anything or any business. They overcharge and they are nasty. NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH NO ONE KNOW WERE ANYTHING IS AT BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND. They’re even teaching their new employees how to be nasty to the customers just recently I saw a person of color and an Indian person working in their first time for that. I’ve been living here for three going on for years they must’ve got reported on that part but they need to be reported on price gouging expired food, and when the food is about to expire, they put it on special they sell, expired meats like it’s so disgusting and management is disgusting right along with their employees. I’ve reported them to BBB and immigration also to the labor board and I’m looking for other places to report them because they price gouging example I go in any other supermarket big stores, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, whatever And I buy tea any quality laxative regular weight loss whatever and I use my EBT card why I go in here and I can’t use my EBT to buy tea they want cash that’s illegal so I’m reporting them to everybody that I can report them to. Just because this is the predominant immigration area they are taking advantage, and enough is enough. You see in the picture they say T/M labeling it as medicine, no one ever in any of the other supermarket ever have it down as a medicine. It’s Tea

Fresh meats and mostly well stocked small/medium food store. However, have to take off points for their deli/hot food section. They tend to be prejudice towards black customers. After speaking with a few other customers, we've seen slights, and hatefulness thrown our way. Especially if you are a U.S. born ethnic customer. I've contacted management on this behavior, and they need to address it - not in just sorry's and nice words. DO something about it. People don't want to be treated a certain way coming into the country, then don't try to shade at people who are from this country.

As a first time shopper of this particular location I am mortified. Super dirty and unorganized, parking lot was weak so had to double park, there was one line for the two registers available, and the poor security lady was stretched thin. Will not visit again this is nothing like the junius and Canarsie location

Absolutely love this place. They're always in stock, got great prices, fresh meats and the $$$PRICES$$$ are unbeatable. They always got some sale going on. Plus you can order online, first delivery is free. You can also order from them through Uber Eats app. Surprisingly, the delivery and services fees when ordering through Uber Eats isn't expensive. It's really affordable and convenient.

Wonderful place to eat FRESH (made day of) Italian foods. They have a rosé bar, a pasta bar (you can watch how they make it), espresso bar, pizza bar and a pastry and gelato bar. Everything you need to feel like you’re enjoying an authentic Italian meal. And if you feel like you want to bring some of that delicious Italian fare home, they have the freshest ingredients to cook with. Will definitely be back again. There are plenty of choices for the whole family to enjoy. 🤌🏻😋😉

There were one or two vegan options on the menu. The portions are small for the price. I had the spaghetti Pomodoro. It was basic, tasty enough. Ambience and service are great. Not the best for vegan but maybe for vegetarian options. Some of their menu items cannot be modified.

The level of disrespect I experience in this supermarket should not tolerated. The employee speaking to me ,A PAYING CUSTOMER!!! , in an amateur manner. No one should be allowed to speak to someone like the way this young lady did to me. I asked to speak to the manager and she rolled her eyes. Kept talking nasty to me in front of her supervisor. Whose body language actual language was nasty and disgusting. The supervisor then called a manager. They gave me the robotic response about it won't happen again. I left unsatisfied so I called the store and spoke with NELSON who said he was the manager on duty. That wasn't the person who I spoke to on the floor. No one seems to take accountability on the poor customer service this store has.

To add, I've been a loyal customer to this facility since it opened and I am extremely astonished on how this supermarket went downhill.

Oh, and I did call the 800 number. One they gave me and one I saw in past review posted by an other customer. No one called.

Excellent place, good prices and amazing selection of goods

Terrible sandwich situation. They put the lettuce in water so your sandwich will be soggy. Missing ingredients, didn't take the plasticity rind off the cappicolla and slice it too thick so it's tough and plastic strings are coming off in your mouth. Overpriced too at 13 bucks with tax. They also don't even know the ingredients in the subs on their own sign. How no balsamic for the salad and sandwich making section? A girl needs to translate to spanish sometimes that's fine i speak Spanish but don't put mayonnaise on an Italian sandwich. Maybe just try to get the hot roasted pork plate here. There's probably a lot more cultural affinity for making that.

Huge selection of items including meat seafood and dairy products but the prices are a bit expensive comparing other stores.

Decent prices. I came for Tofu and they had it! A variety of options. Highly recommend. Also have a small section for hot meals apx. $9.00 (purchased the chicken, rice, and bean one).

Eataly NYC Downtown truly offers a standout experience for food lovers and casual shoppers alike. This location shines in its cleanliness, beauty, and spaciousness – a comfortable ambiance that welcomes you as you embark on your culinary journey.

Their vast collection of fine foods is impressive and well-curated, offering a diverse selection that caters to every palate. It is apparent that a lot of thought goes into each product displayed, making for a top-tier shopping and dining experience.

The venue's architectural design is truly mesmerizing, with beautiful top-to-floor windows that flood the space with natural light. This creates an inviting and uplifting atmosphere that greatly enhances your experience.

One of the best parts? It's not as crowded as the Flatiron location. This gives you the freedom to browse and enjoy at your own pace, without the typical hustle and bustle.

Eataly NYC Downtown has undeniably raised the bar for food marketplaces in the city. A visit to this gastronomic paradise is a must for any food enthusiast. Hats off to the team for creating such an outstanding destination!

Here's the place to get everything to eat healthy and a good price. Clean, safe and you can get exotics products, fruits from different countries of the world. Too, it's an excellent efficient staff always to your order. Thanks 🙏,

Not as crowded as past visits. Parking lot is more organized and clean. Aisles have less boxes, making them more accessible. Short lines. Faster checkout.

I shop here several times and I always find what I was looking for, the people who work here are very helpful, this is a great place

Amazing supermarket! Love the self checkout option for 10 items or less. I will like to know ehy they removed the ensure and pediasure from isles and put it by the cashiers?

The selections are massive. The market is clean and designed in a way where the lines are never overflowing into the aisles or are frustratingly long. The fruit selections are insane. It seems to go on forever. There are options, OPTIONS, in an area that is known to be a good desert. From basic to organic, the selections are present. Also, sales are frequent and lucrative. A plus!

Today a situation happened with my wife and a store employee, in the vegetable area from 8:40 to 9 am, my wife went to look for tomatoes, she got to where the tomato was and saw that it was a little damaged, A store employee made a comment to my wife, if she wanted fresh tomato, she answered yes and thanked her, but the employee began to harass her telling her to invite him to eat, what she was going to cook, my wife replied that she was married ,, to keep her distance, the guy replied that it didn't matter if she was married, my wife felt really harassed by the employee ,, he quickly went to the area where I was. When I looked at her, she seemed scared but she didn't say anything to me, until we were far from the store, I think these people should have more respect.

Huge and nice supermarket. If you need good and fresh food this place is one of the best. Have big varieties of any food from Italian to Mexican, Turkish or Asian and many more..The bread here always fresh with good taste, same for seafood, meat and fruits. Some products has discounts and you can find nice prices. Also can buy nice bouquet of flowers for any occasion; household stuff and many more. Good food store for any family with friendly staff who keeps it clean and nice.

Rather cheap, plenty of choices but of course most of the goods are available in big packages. Not all of it, but most. Worth visiting once a week for some bigger shoppings. But if you after some small grocery, there are self check out counters too. Great meat choices and cheap too.

This supermarket is filthy and rundown. It looks like it is rarely every cleaned. It is also incredibly dusty and grimy to the point that if you smell your hands after touching a shopping cart or anything in the store, they reek badly. The place is poorly stocked and the produce, meat, canned goods, and baked goods it has are almost always rotten and expired or very near to being rotten or expired. As a vegan, the vegan options in this store are pathetically limited. Even Target and Walmart have more vegan options in the way of vegan cheeses, ice creams, mockmeats, and other plant based alternatives for essential grocery items. The prices are outrageous. A head of cauliflower goes for $9.99 and a box of cereal goes for $8.99. This is a third world supermarket that charges Vivienne Westwood and Fendi prices. I will never, ever shop at this horrible supermarket ever again. As a non driver, I’d rather take a bus and train to Whole Foods in Manhattan because Farmbria is more expensive than them while being the 8th world version of them. Everything at Farmbria is just poverty and sadness and the workers are incredibly rude.

This particular market has wonderful stock shelves fish department is immense and always stocked with fresh fish and delicious products. And always always clean and ready to serve love the store immensely,I would recommend it to all my friends and.

Becareful of the package meats & cold cuts package here. I have seen workers change the due date stickers on pre cut cold cuts. I also purchased smoked turkey drums that smelled extremely rancid. I will not be making meats purchases from here. You are putting people health at risk for money. Health department alerted.

A nice addition to the East Side of Harlem. I remember mostly rug and furniture stores and not much else more than a decade ago.

I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much variety is upstairs and at decent prices. Their produce section rivals any other with so many items to choose from, from vegetables to fruits.

Their seafood is great as well as they can clean and cut up the fish for you.

Over crowded and ridiculously over priced. I remember during the pandemic I went to buy milk and a half gallon was $11.50 ( no kidding)
I asked what was going on and the manager said " we only have a few "

What's the old saying,( to many chiefs and not enough Indians ?)

Supervisor's and the manager are incredibly rude.

I used to frequent that supermarket before it was sold.

It's very uncomfortable walking down the aisle due to overcrowded groceries in boxes. They eventually lower the prices when items are nearing expiration.

It does appear to be cleaned throughout the day.

I stay away from the deli because I've seen the lead cook not using gloves 90% of the time.
Although, I had purchased baked ziti from the deli once and when I arrived home and sat down to eat. I spit it into the garbage. It tasted like vinegar. The cheese was rancid.

I drive elsewhere for my groceries and save a substantial amount.

If you can, find an alternate Supermarket where you are not getting price gouged.

This review is for the sandwiches only and not the actual supermarket. The sandwiches at this supermarket are as good as they get in NYC. Not only are the sandwiches well-made and delicious but they are affordable. All sandwiches are made fresh right before you.

NICOLE is very nice and helpful team member as a Cashier!!!

They got all your every needs in food or nonfood items you need and at a real fine reasonable price. They even got their own fish market in there with any water fish you may want . Man , this place is so good you can spend all day in there and not get bored and it's fun too . You need to know places and things , come to me , I love helping people, I get a kick out of it . Go to FOOD BAZAAR and enjoy your day 😃

If anything,, they're overstocked.

Completely stocked supermarket in Harlem. Spaceous and well stocked aisles and courteous staff. I often need items that are sold out on the shelves and they will pull it from the overhead storage for me at my request. (The cashiers and management call me "SodaMan" because I buy 25-40 cases a week for my other business)

Almost anything in your shopping list you can find here. It's the ONLY location in Harlem that carries the Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt I crave. Other stores carry the ice cream but I NEED the FroYo. 😂

If you read my review, give it a thumbs up 👍🏽so I can know my feedback is appreciated.

Overpriced low value store! Buyers be aware! Always watch the screen when they’re ringing up your items. This is my second incident with them and they won’t honor their prices. The first time they had the whip Philadelphia whip crème cheese 2 for 9. They argued me down until they finally said oh you’re right. Yesterday I made a purchase for these nuggets where it clearly says 5.99 when I returned home 20 mins away and reviewing my receipt I realized I was charged 10.99 for this. Mind you target sells the same thing for 7.69. I returned back today to do a price adjustment even showing them the same price tag in the store and they refused to. The cashier then turned to two Spanish girls who’s seem to be hanging out one in all black with a tight ponytail another with burgundy hair. They told her my item was wrong and just refund her. Where is the customer service? This place has always been distasteful. Food Bazaar you made a terrible mistake franchising with them. Good luck!

Fresh food , fresh vegetables , fresh fruits . Good hard worker there .

The produce is of fresh and high quality at affordable prices be sure to take advantage on the managers special

Awesome supermarket! They sell items you can’t get anywhere else. I love their vegetarian selections so much to choose from.. The honey glazed chicken is the best I have ever had!! 😀

Great customer service by Enryg who helped me find sugar free diabetic items in the store. Very friendly employee and was more than happy to help me finding my items. The store in general has fresh produce, meats,deli and I love that they have multiple cultural sections from Asian, Hispanic, Italian and many more. Halloween decorations we exceptional.

Don’t buy any meat! It’s always spoiled. They never exchange or return money without receipt. Even if it has their logo on it. It’s disgusting I bought veil and the date of expiration was still not due and it smells like the meat was beyond rotten. Horrible service!! It’s a zero. Not even a one star. Never going there again. Horrible customer service with Jenny the “shift manager” who swears she has a big tittle. She should be fired for her disgusting behavior and attitude. Their loss not mine. Will be shopping else where.

This supermarket caters to many different backgrounds. The owner of this supermarket not only takes into consideration what products people in the community may want , but they also hire people who live in the community as well . I can always find quality products that are affordable at this supermarket.
