I spent so much time smelling and tasting a bunch before my family and I made our decision! I think my favorite was the cherry or the apple balsamic. Everything we got was fantastic, and I can't wait to come back and get more when we run out!

Great vinegars! The peach vinegarette was unique, reminded me of a peach gummy ring, I think it…read morewould be good in ice cream! You are able to sample all of the oils and vinegarettes, only weird thing was there wasn't any bread or crackers to taste with, you literally just sip on it. Very reasonable prices!

Had a lovely stop into Crystal City Olive Oil on our zip trip out to Corning! I think in the normal…read moretimes they offer samples? No dice in the COVID world, but we were still able to ask questions and ended up leaving with a lovely fig balsamic that I am excited to try. I asked the staff what might be good in a greek or mediterranean recipe and they uncertainly pointed me toward a basil olive oil. Given that we didn't have the opportunity to taste, I didn't want to risk it. I thought prices were a little high compared to some of our high end olive oils here in ROC, but it was worth it for a quick stop in a cute town. Would recommend going post-COVID!

How does one spend too much time in a store dedicated to olive oil? That is right! You can't!…read more Taste, sample and EVOO your heart away. They had everything from truffle, butter, garlic, coffee. Everything. The staff was super friendly and helpful even though there were other people in the shop. We ended up somehow only getting one bottle of lemon infused olive oil. Everything I tried was so wonderful though. The rosemary infused olive oil was another favorite. This would be a big favorite for gifts (for myself AND for others) if I was from the area.

Crystal City Olive Oil is on the main street in Watkins Glen, and is bright and clean. I have never…read moreseen so much (or so many types of) olive oil in my entire life. It was amazing! You can even sample them. Also available are a limited amount of pasta, soup mixes, spices, sauces, and accessories so you can create a gift bag. The staff person (possibly owner?) was so knowledgeable and helped us pick out some gifts for family. I hear they also have a Corning location, hence the Crystal City name. This is a fun place to shop for gifts or if you are into cooking.

I ordered a salad and my wife got a pizza and we shared. We still had stuff to take home when we were finished. The variety of available options encourages trying different additions to your order. Our waitress was somewhat tolerant of our unfamiliarity with ordering since this was our first time here. The food was very good, and next time I might try the antipasto.

We have enjoyed their olive oils and vinegars since they first opened their doors in Lewiston…read moreseveral years ago. This was our first time at their restaurant and they did a nice job. The menu was adequately diverse, and they have you mark your order right on it up with an erasable marker, which is efficient. The burger was surprisingly good, the salads were nice and the coffee was quite good. Our server Jenna was attentive. The ambience was casual and pleasant. This place is worthy of future visits.

I consider all the shops along this little stretch to be part of the Rochester Public Market. I'm…read morenot sure if that's accurate, but they are part of my experience with the market, and I love them all. Giordano is one of the best of the bunch, as they have all the cheese you'd ever want...and I want a lot of cheese. I want the funky bleu, the creamy brie, the sharpest cheddar you can find, the chevre, whatever you can find from a sheep, certainly including manchego, and all the olives they have in stock too. I want the cheeses with fun additions like truffles and pepper and meat and I also want the meat that hasn't been added to the cheese, because meat is good on its own too. All that said, the last time I came in I felt like I was bothering the staff there. I got curt, annoyed answers when I was curious about a cheese I wasn't familiar with, and we ended up leaving with about 25% of the amount of cheese I wanted to buy just because it's not fun to put together a cheese plate with people who aren't trying to help you. I hope it was an off day, because I'll be back again soon. After all, I have a cheese problem.

We used to frequent this place at the Rochester Public market when we lived here years ago so when…read moreon a recent visit we stopped in. Though it was almost empty on a Thursday morning it was difficult to get to the cheese display because the only two patrons were pretty much sitting in the aisle gabbing with one of the workers. We had to squeeze around them since they weren't moving. Once at the cheese counter the smallish selection of cheeses were unmarked so we needed to quiz the burly guy manning the counter. He was gruff and almost rude in his attitude. Almost unhelpful. It is lucky we bought anything at all. If you wanted your purchase wrapped in cheese paper vs. plastic they charged another $1.75. Really? Definitely not the positive experiences we remembered from the past. Very Disappointing!
