This is *the* place for Italian specialty goods!…read more The bf and I finally used up a bulk size bottle of olive oil and committed to buying a nice Italian EVOO from Lucano. For $20, we landed on Coluccio from Sicily (1L) that the owner also uses in the cooking at their restaurant next door. She recommended it so we trusted her insight. Definitely good bang for your buck. We also picked up some dried porcini mushrooms ($5) and burrata (buffalo mozzarella & stracciatella - $12). The owner was a gem. Joann gave us cooking tips on the proper preparation for a cream sauce using the mushrooms. The items in the store are all from smaller artisanal Italian farms. I found most of the prices to be relatively reasonable considering they're all imported from Italy. They offer a variety of things that would be perfect for making a gift basket like pasta, canned tomatoes (San Marzano - the best!), spreads, and adorable serving platters. You'll find frozen clams for your next pasta dish or fresh deli meats and delicious buffalo mozzarella (the most delicious cheese in the world) for a homemade charcuterie plate. We're going to be regulars, for sure.

I have absolutely no clue why I have never written a review on this place.. well here we go…read more I've been here to pick up things for events and raffles.. Ive tried the oils and vinegars pre-Covid. Lots of fun things to try and it gives you ideas of things to use with different foods. (Mayer Lemon EVOO!) Oils as a garnish or to sauté with, make salad dressings, dip your bread..the list goes on. Thing is with Covid I have no idea if you can try anything? I would say ask.. I buy blind and I just go by a description so... What's nice is they ship and they have a few other locations. If you want to give a gift to someone who loves to cook but not sure what to get them. Come here you can get a bunch of different things or get a prepared box of boxed up oils and etc. Staff is friendly and helpful considering Covid it's not a big place and they will regulate the flow of customers if it gets a bit too much. What's good about this place is where it is, after you go in here depending the time frame you can pop in to Baker Street Bakery for some bread and treats. Check out Salty a lovely boutique store or go to Cafe Sasso, Glen Edith, The Chai Guy or Pittsford Dairy for some drinks and treats. Parking is street or behind the building on Somerton. Give them a whirl.

I absolutely love any stop into F. Oliver's. Looking for a unique gift you know people will use?…read moreThis is the spot! The staff here are total experts when it comes to helping you find a unique flavor profiles and combinations, and, while I haven't been in during the COVID times, know they have an amazing tasting process during the normal times. I adore their balsamics and am particularly partial to the fig and berry-based bottles. We always have F. Olivers with our Sunday sauce at my parents house - paired with some Wegmans garlic tuscan bread?! Forget it. I always look forward to my next order of oils and balsamics. Stop in if you have yet to, making stops at Salty and Baker Street Bakery in the awesome Somerton plaza. F. Olivers also has a location in Canandaigua. Happy dipping!

Officially all in for the spring share with this local CSA. It makes eating local produce that much…read moreeasier since I can't always get to the market. The CSA features produce from local farms, many are organic too. They break it out in seasons and now offering year-round options. For the spring share, I paid in full to reserve a weekly share with pick up at Three Heads Brewing - $64 for 4 weeks ($16 per week). They have several other pick up locations, days, times, and even delivery. I opted for the small share, which is good for 1-2 people for a week. So far I've enjoyed making recipes with a few ingredients I've never worked with before like green garlic, rhubarb, beets, etc. That's the most enjoyable part for me - the challenge of cooking with something new and going outside my comfort zone in the kitchen with new veggies and getting creative. In their weekly emails, they'll break down what types of veggies you'll be getting that week as well as recipes they've compiled on Pinterest, which is handy! In addition to the veggie shares, they have several other options you can add one, including eggs, meats (chicken, beef, pork, duck), fruits, veggie burgers, bread, yogurt, and coffee (they partner with Fuego and Joe Bean). I haven't opted in for any of these yet, but am intrigued and may consider it down the road to try more local meats, eggs, etc.

I'm really excited to have signed on with a friend for a share in this CSA! I'm sharing a share,…read moreand the weekly produce allotment has been great so far. I am really excited about the fall selection. Our first fall delivery had a great variety of (mostly) vegetables and some fruit. Everything was so fresh, and the portions were perfect. The price is well worth what you get. They have a number of pick up locations that service the Rochester area, and a variety of private and open-to-public pre-box drop off sites. I think it's a great opportunity to really support local growers, and I'm excited that the food is coming to me for the next few weeks.

Placed I'm fairly substantial catering order at this location and when I arrived to get it there…read morewas basically no instructions on how to alert them that I was here for the pickup. They do have a sign with the number to text which I texted and never got a response. Next we tried calling the phone number on the sign spoke to a guy who had no idea about anything. He transferred me somewhere that no one ever picked up. Call back again talk to the same guy who still seemed totally clueless and he put me on hold for 5 minutes. Now we're significantly past the pickup time he eventually comes back online and says yes someone will be out with it and I said when and he said like 5 minutes. Incredibly unprofessional,Do not come here for your needs.

I haven't been to a Wegmans in a while. First off - parking. Ugh. Not fun. We usually try to…read morepark as far away from the store as possible. The footprint isn't great and turns are tight. Selection is still good, but pricing is high. We had to pick up a prescription. It was ready fairly quickly. So we shopped for some essentials but only picked up a few things due to price. We also decided to get subs for dinner. Pricing is ok for a little high for what you actually get.

I picked up a chocolate almond bark to try and it was Devine. The staff was friendly and helpful. The parking can be tricky with the snow piled high so be careful if street parking as not much room and the cars go flying by. Can't wait to learn more about their chocolate tonight with our virtual tour.

I used to come here occasionally since it's nearby, but my opinion has changed…read more Some items I used to buy have gone up in price, which is frustrating. I'm not a fan of the fruits and vegetables--they're either sold out or look like they've seen better days. I don't even bother with the meat or chicken anymore; it's better at other places. What really baffles me is why they have so many checkout lanes but only two cashiers working. And the self-checkout always seems to have issues. The staff is either very helpful or completely checked out. On the plus side, it's worth a visit when they have sales. And if you're looking for Caribbean products or specific spices, they usually have a good selection. But honestly, there are better places to shop. Have a nice day... I'm out.

This is an interesting place. I went in once when we lived close by, but it's been a while. It's a…read morepretty standard convenience store, with the addition of a few tables and Jay's Kitchen. There are definitely regulars and it was very busy when I was there (~8:30 PM on a Thursday). Heads up that if you use a credit card, you'll be charged a fee for each transaction. If you want a drink, this is the place. Holy cannoli, it's like 80% beverages! But I went on this night to try Jay's Kitchen, since I'd heard some rave reviews. I had the manto (chicken dumplings smothered in yogurt sauce and topped with lentils, $12.99) and my fiancee had the chicken makhani ($11.99). I also got a bolani for each of us. Jay was super friendly and said it would be about 15 minutes. It was closer to 30 minutes, but it was okay. My fiancee's makhani was pretty sweet, but flavorful. She didn't like it, though. The bolani ($2.50) were good to try, but not our cup of tea. My manto had good flavor, but I didn't think it had enough of the yogurt sauce and I wouldn't get it again. I wish that Jay had said what the sauces he gave on the side were and what to put them on. Overall, I'm glad that we tried Jay's food and would probably have something else (like a gyro or sub), but likely won't go out of our way.
