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.

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.

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.

The fact that they stock…read morecheese advent calendars alone is enough to warrant 4 stars, but this location also scores point in cleanliness, accessibility, pricing, and location! SUCH a convenient spot to grab pretty much everything you would need to host a bomb snack party. I also picked up some fuzzy socks that I am currently wearing and they are comfy as heck so...you've been alerted. I had never been in an Aldi and was totally surprised by the sheer amount of stuff they had. The aisle where the weekly deals are was absolutely popping and for good reason. They had holiday wrap, decor, and a few other goodies to make planning for the holiday a breeze. I know now to always bring my bags and a quarter for the cart, and that the cart at the end of the checkout is for the cashier...not yours. As a newbie they basically looked at me like I had four heads when I let them know that was not my cart. Sigh...so much Aldi etiquette yet to discover. Overall - a clean location to get some budget shopping done! I am hosting Christmas eve this year and cannot wait to come back for all my snacks and party needs!

Don't expect to be able to find everything on your list here. They have a lot of things, but this isn't a giant supermarket with every grocery item imaginable like Wegman's. Instead, what you will find is a good selection of items at a discounted price. Many of the items are their own brand, and those are great quality. Remember to bring a quarter for unlocking a shopping cart. Be ready to do your own bagging. They have some great snacks and frozen food. They have some amazing options for juices at super low prices. Their produce section is pretty small, you might not find what you are looking for. Give it a try!

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.

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!

Lots of cars going in and out, and they have a pretty large lot, and most of the spaces were full. I really wasn't looking for anything in particular, and I was surprised to see they had Yankee candles and a selection of sauces. It is kind of like a market/gift shop. I had walked around and was about ready to leave when I saw homemade fudge! There aren't many places around here that have fudge, and they also had samples, and it was very good! It was fairly pricey, but I got the cookies and cream and chocolate peanut butter. I had sampled the mint chocolate, which was really good. The cookies and cream could have been creamier, but it was still good. While I was outside the front of the store, I noticed a pallet of bagged cow manure for sale. I assume this is probably a regular gardening/farming material (mowing the lawn is about the extent of my yardwork skills), but I found it pretty off putting that there was a pallet of it right outside when they sell so much food. Since they're a market, couldn't they maybe keep it out back and get some when someone requests it or something? I don't know, but it was gross enough to me that I don't think I'll be back.
