The oldest Italian grocery store with a great selection of regional produce and groceries. If you want to get your hands in some REAL authentic Italian goodies, you must visit this store. Very reasonable prices and then from here grab the best coffee right at the corner on the same street . read more

Staff is so nice here! their deli section is awesome and reasonably priced! their produce section is also pretty well priced. They even have an Asian section! read more

Produce - fresh and seasonal, peeled garlic is super cheap and a regular on my list. Spices - huge selection and big containers. It's pretty much the only place I get my spices. Deli - Call ahead if you're going to order more than a few things, it's really helpful and you'll be much happier than waiting in line. If when shopping you feel like your mom is kind of trailing you or yelling at you to get off the phone... you're not alone. It's a little charming with a hint of seriousness :) BONUS - they always help carry out large items!! read more

Guercio's is great for all the reasons everyone mentioned. I typically go to replenish my spices, as they have huge containers of a wide assortment for a fraction of their price elsewhere. Once there, I can't resist stocking up on canned artichoke hearts, also a bargain, and specialty vinegars. read more

Fresh produce at a great price! Growing up in the city, I can tell you that nutrition is often a struggle in low income families. This store provides a great variety of fruits and vegetables at a reasonable price. They always have a good selection of in season and tough to find stuff. Their pasta selection is also wonderful. Forget wegmans and tops- between guercios and the meating place, all yor grocery needs will be taken care of! read more

Great prices and quality on fruits and vegetables, including a lot of seasonal specialty items (locally grown garlic scapes and rhubarb were on the shelves for today's visit). During warmer months, you can shop from the sidewalk, then wander in with your selections to peruse a nice selection of imported cheeses, olive oils. vinegars, and other specialty items (plus most of the stuff you'd expect to find at a regular grocery store). My husband is the only meat-eater in the family, and he gives their deli sandwiches a big thumbs up. Lots of Buffalo-made products are also available (Gondola pastas, GoVeggie burgers, Mineo & Sapeo sausage, etc.). Really a wonderful gem. read more

Guercio & Sons - Grocery Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The best example of a quality and true family owned, generational business. I grew up in the mind set of knowing your vendors and who you buy from. And I have come to adore the entire Guercio family. Great, fresh produce and interesting new finds arriving on the shelves every week. They also carry Buffalo Cheese Traders' cheeses!!! How awesome! When you're in a pinch you can't beat the awesome and enormous sandwiches from the deli ladies, just remember to always be polite, patient and friendly and don't try to get a sandwich if it's 3:00, that's when they stop making 'em. If you are looking for something special, be it produce, white pepper, I don't know, you name it; just ask! They are always happy to go into the warehouse in the back and find what you are looking for. They are a Grant St. staple and a wonderful constant in the neighborhood. read more

I want to love this place because I love the atmosphere and concept of an Italian deli. I have come here a couple times and don't find the produce to be a good deal, in general. It is a great price for the olive bar though. 4.99/lb for hot green olives (at Wegmans I think it is 8.99/lb). read more

I would assume that most folks in the neighborhood already know that this is one of the best places to get groceries. I don't do all my grocery shopping here. But they offer a lot of amazing things that you can't get at the big box grocery stores. And their prices are extremely reasonable! read more

Can be a pain to get to, but worth the trip if you're sick of buying over-priced olive oil at Williams-Sonoma. Great selection of Italian imports--vinegar, oils, pastas. read more

As others have mentioned, they have a good selection of pastas, olive oils, balsamic, canned tomatoes, etc. Their produce section offered some items you cannot find at the typical grocery store. Their deli counter has a good selection of cheeses and meats. However, as a cheese addict who always visits cheese shops in bigger & international cities, I found it to be disappointing. Guercio's was also hyped up to me quite a bit so I had very high expectations, but I did love the customer service and old school vibe you get from the place. Honestly, it's A-Ok, but I like what they're doing and the tradition it seems to be so that bumps it up to fan-hood. ...perhaps after a bite of these infamous sandwiches I'll be converted! read more

Always dynamite sandwiches. I'm partial to the Guercio but tbh I've not ever been disappointed with my choices here.

This is what a grocery store should be. It's stepping back into a time when you knew your grocer. This small place in a not so great neighborhood (thought getting better!) is THE place to go for Italian products. Need a broader selection of olive oils? They got it. Need some aged balsamic vinegar? They have about twenty different kinds. The selection of imported goods is better than Wegmans and about half the price. During the summer and fall, the fruits and vegetables are better than what you find at a farmers market. Shop local, my friends! read more

I'm happy to call this place my neighborhood grocery. I live between here and the Lexington CORP-op and I am happy to take my business to this family-run grocery for local produce and inexpensive deli sandwiches. They sell primarily Italian products (a great selection of imported oils and pastas) but they also have a variety of non-Italian food (Japanese, Mexican, etc). This place rules. read more

One of Grant Streets fresh food hideaway. Been dealing with the owners since 1978. I'm not leaving and going anywhere neither are they. Sammy, Charlie and Russell are main stays read more

My neighborhood grocery store! I am here at least once a week for essentials and some harder to find items. Love their sandwiches, too!

This is a true gem in Buffalo! Always has great (and local) produce and deli selections. Prices are very reasonable. I suggest going early to avoid the crowds. read more

Want the produce most of the restaurants use at a fraction of the prices you pay @ wegmans. Come here this place is great !

Fresh cut deli meat is always a sight to behold - watching a huge slab of animal being carved to razor-thin slices beats the hell out of pre-cut meat marinating in plastic containers any day. Guercio & Sons cuts their sandwich meat right there in front of you so while it may take longer than Subway, the results are well worth it. That and a solid 8-12in roll will cost you $4 or less. Definitely the best bang for your buck when it comes to sandwiches. My only complaint was that my sandwich was made upside down w/ the top of the roll intact w/ the meat and the bottom intact w/ my veggies which made for a very confusing experience. In addition to the deli, there's the 3-roomed supermarket which seemingly has it all from fresh produce to a ridiculous variety of olive oils. Might need to start doing some grocery shopping here just as an excuse to pick up another sandwich. read more

A hidden gem! Whenever I visit Buffalo my friends take me here to purchase ingredients for a few days worth of quick, easy meals. Great selection of produce, great prices and some surprises. Well worth the visit. For those from Philly, this place is like the Italian market in one stop. read more

Love this place! Used to live 3 blocks away and would be in there 2-3 times a week. Now live in Blackrock and still make the trip about once a week. The price and quality of the produce can't be beat! There is no other place that I would buy feta, just love it from here. The sandwiches are wonderful, but try the fresh salads. The taste and price are well worth the trip. Several flavors of fresh coffee beans, grind it yourself...doesen't get any fresher....yummm! read more

I've been coming here for the last 8 years- since my family made the transition from North/ East to West. Its so wonderful to have a local store where you can find fresh produce, italian eats, and other items of varying origin. The prices are great- I've never seen anything of such god quality cheaper in another store in the area. The only complaint I have is that it closes at 6 and isn't open on Sunday. read more

Guercio's is one of my favorite places to go for groceries. The produce is always super good quality and the prices are super cheap. I won't go anywhere else for produce. They also have a huge selection of pastas and cheeses as well. My only complaint is that they close at 6 and are not open on Sundays which makes it very hard for me to find time to stop by. read more

Quaint family-owned Italian grocery store. All the staples + specialty Italian cheeses & pastas. Great local joint!

Ordered a sandwich - the meat and cheese were sliced fresh. It was a decent size for $5!

I started grabbing veggies and fruit from here(, and the occasional cannoli. I want to try a sandwich, but I guess that is a during the week thing or something. I love that they offer local produce and have excellent quality products. I wish they had beef and chicken... am I crazy? I couldn't find it in the store. I guess just deli meats. But that's okay, I love them anyways. cheap!) read more

Wonderful!!! Selection, ambiance, price and helpful/knowledgeable staff. I just returned from a visit to the Chelsea Market in NYC. They have an Italian store that they tout that doesn't hold a candle to this place. This place is authentic. It's an experience. A great source for all things Italian. Excellent selection and reasonable price. Olives, cold cuts, deli salads, oils, bread, cheeses, produce, The imported salami is my fav. Go...you'll love it. Almost afraid to post it here because it feels like a secret. read more

This place was great ten years ago and it's still great,the prices are amazing, the selection cannot be beat,the people who work there friendly as always. I would go out of my way to shop here!!! This little Italian market offer's a shopping experience kind of like what you might find in Italy, one particular item not to be missed, the tortellini salad. I love this place! read more

Shopping at Guercio's is a truly enjoyable, yet atypical experience. There is not much too add to what has already been written, save for a few personal tips and favorite finds. The produce is very fresh and seasonal, and in the warmer months they display it out on the sidewalk, which makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a quaint European market. The deli is amazing; if you like sandwiches loaded with fresh and flavorful ingredients, this is well worth a lunch-time visit. As a vegetarian, I have a serious obsession with their marinated eggplant, which they will add to your sandwich with a hefty dose of italian grandma sass. They have a really wonderful and affordable coffee selection, and a plethora of specialty food items like high end oils and vinegars that you can get great deals on! Also, don't buy nuts anywhere else; Guercio's are by far the least expensive, and freshest I have come across in my grocery travails. You can't buy everything here, but the selection is a well-curated, and diverse mix of excellent produce, ethnic foods, and staples like nuts, pasta, breads, and grains that make for a truly excellent, and affordable shopping experience. If you are new to the west-side, don't be put off by the location, this stretch of Grant St is really picking up, and there is a safe and accessible parking lot right across the way. Break your Wegmans addiction, if only for a day, and I promise you will be rewarded with a unique and lovely shopping experience! read more

I thought Guercio's was a great find until ten days after I first shopped there and discovered moths in a bag of grains from their store. I've never had a moth problem before today, and distinctly remember seeing a moth or two flitting around the pasta section in the back of the store the day I was there. I remember thinking, "That's bad news, they should really do something about that," but it wasn't until I saw the moths in my bag of grains this morning that I made the connection--if Guercio's has pantry moths and I buy grains from them, I could easily end up taking the moths home with me. I hope they fix this problem soon, and will continue to buy produce there--the prices for their fresh fruits and veggies are great, and supporting a local business is a bonus. But I'll be staying away from their grain and pasta section from now on--or at least until they clean it up. read more

Great sandwiches, the women remind me of the soup nazi from Seinfeld, know your order!

Guercio & Son's is hands down the best market in Buffalo. Produce is fresh, seasonal and very very well priced. They have an excellent Deli counter and make phenomenal sandwiches. read more

This is what a local market is all about fresh produce, spices and items for every day needs. This store is part of what makes the West Side a unique place. read more

If you eat a "Clean" diet like myself this is the place for you. I do all my produce and deli shopping here. It is the best.

Guercio's has high quality produce at sensible prices. They also carry pastas, oils, and plenty of other ingredients you might need for cooking. Their deli has quality cold cuts as well as excellent prepared salads and antipastos. It's a small place with a friendly staff. It has a bit of that "Old World" vibe to it. Guercio's is one of two reasons to hit the West Side, the other being Bob's Price Rite to get the best meats. read more
