Come for the meat and cheese counter, stay for the nook in the back of the store where all of the…read moregorgeous bottles of wine live. Actually, in my case, I came for the wine nook. I read that this is a good place to find a great bottle of wine, and it's true. Old World Market will satisfy the indulgent, bougie food lover in you -- the food lover who likes pretty charcuterie boards made from thinly sliced prosciutto shaped into flowers. And it will indulge the wine lover in you -- the one who likes a good glass of wine. It's a small store. Surprisingly small, actually! But along with wine and meats and cheeses, you'll find specialty food items like Swedish Pippi Longstocking candy (what?), pasta in all shapes and sizes, cookies, teas, oils and lots of imported goodies. You'll mostly find food imported from Europe: Italy and Nordic countries, specifically. They offer readymade sandwiches and small charcuterie boxes to go, for those of us who want to live deliciously but also have stuff to do elsewhere. Basically, this is a great place to visit to find something delectable to eat or drink in Valparaiso.

The only reason it took forever was because they were "unstaffed" but it's shouldn't take that long for chips and a bake potato. This place really need better service this was outrageous.

One of my daughters friends ordered flowers from a local floral shop & when she got the bouquet home she noticed the flowers were in horrible condition and some of the flowers looked brown & wilted. They closed early & weren't about to help. I took them to Stracks on calumet for her, while she was getting her hair done. Even though Tracey had a full day due to Valparaiso's homecoming, she asked us to come back in a half an hour and promised to fix them. She did more than that! They looked absolutely beautiful she refreshed them, rearrange them and even added some gold accents! The bouquet was truly beautiful! And she honestly saved the day!

This is your average run-of-the-mill grocery store, with one caveat, they have a few magnificent…read moresales. I'd say at least once a month they have a deal so remarkable that I scamper over here to load up on that item. Last week they had Old Orchard apple juice, fairly big jug for 98¢. I came in just for that. Bought a dozen. I get a little sheepish like I'm taking advantage, but the clerks are glad to see you and glad you're getting a great deal. No need to worry if you aren't picking up your whole week's worth of groceries, they couldn't be nicer. They also always have a nice selection of seasonal items wether that's pumpkins and mums in the fall or Christmas wreaths and poinsettias after Thanksgiving. Especially if you have errands in Calumet Ave, be sure to stop by!

That's just a game they play with us. That makes people think their overall prices are good. They'll run a few good deals to get you into the store and then they hose you on the rest of the items. Remember, you have to bag your own groceries too. They have little price signs everywhere, "supposedly" showing the regular price, versus the "new" price. Are you kidding me? Did you ever look at those tags? Then they show "their" price on the tag. They have raised prices dramatically, since the new company took over. They're making a complete fool of you, if you think they haven't raised them. They're fooling you BIG TIME. Here's a perfect example. They hung a sign from the ceiling in the meat department that said: "Lower prices on thousands of items. Ground beef $7.18 for a pound.....a POUND! Does that sound like a "low" price to you? Plus, it comes in a tube. You have no idea what you're getting, because you can't see the meat. Here's another one. Chuck roast for $9.98 a pound. Does sound like a "bargain" to you? I could go on and on, how they're playing games with us customers. But you're getting railroaded folks. They put in a new floor, dressed some things up and shoppers think they're getting a great deal. Some of you really need to wake up. But that's ok, keep shopping there and fritter your money away. It's only "money," right? SMH.

I have had em on taylor street, old town, Al's portillos, etc. To me this is the best Italian beef I have had. It is shaved not sliced. It is not the type that is like short rib. It is the same shaved style of the original beef when they first came out. It is not overly salty and definitely not chewy. The house made hot giardinara IS THE MAGIC. I order it old school chicago style like how I was taught. Dry bun, no cheese (thats a indiana thing) hot giardinara (lots of it) and their red sauce to dip and pour on it. Gawd damn is it good.
