Their pies, especially the quiches, are as good as most homemade. I brought 3 quiches to a church breakfast, and they were such a hit, someone always gets them now. The apples are so good, I've been spoiled and don't buy supermarket ones ever. Same for pears. Barrel pickles. Their cookies were my husband's favorites. Fancy deserts are a bit pricy, but very good. Spring and summer plant selection is limited, but always top quality. Same for the produce. Delicious local dairy products -- try Sweet Grass Creamery milk! Salem Valley Farms ice cream. A lot of touristy goodies if you like that stuff. Staff always friendly and helpful.

I'm all for keeping business local. I love community based/supported agriculture groups, co-ops,…read morefarmers markets, and the like. While trying to find more of these among the community of new london, I found Pizello Brothers. Easily accessible from one of new london's most well traveled roadways, this market is the place to shop if you need a large scale of grocery items, or are open to a changing selection of many great things. The parking is in a loding dock area, and the steps take you up to the retail store. Many of the local businesses and restaurants source their grocery and supplies from here, and whatever is left over is sold at market cost which I have found is routinely cheaper than anywhere else. The perimeter of the store is cold storage, with a really great selection of olives, cheeses and fruits, along with premade meals and sides. I compare this to a small scale Costco of sorts, they have many things but it's usually not portioned for an individual or a couple. The middle has dry goods, potatoes, onions, spices, and cleaning supplies, along with many goya brand products. The front counter has more spices, a place to freshly grind hard cheeses, and an area for marked down produce, canned goods, and specials. I have always been pleased with the quality, service, and prompt response of staff to questions. I would love to see them carry some more milk alternatives and meats, but I know that's not really the scale they're catering to. Wonderful location, excellent prices, and quality products make this grocer a must have stop on my weekly shopping route.

Well, I needed large sized fresh green tomatoes to make this special recipe. Couldn't find any anywhere in Norwich, CT. I called Malerba's and I was able to preorder them for the next day (they would pick them fresh in the morning for me!). As promised, a bunch were picked and I chose the ones I wanted. Also got a couple red tomatoes and a few other pickled items to try. Made a fried green tomato recipe Father's Day morning. They came out delicious! (Pics from cooking attached). Best fresh produce around, prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful, courteous, pleasant and polite. I would recommend Malerba's to anyone!

The selection is pretty wide for its size, but it's still pretty limited. To be honest, I wish they had some stuff like tobiko and masago, or Chelsea candy, or Meltykiss. On a positive note, they have dumplings, baozi, and xiaolongbao with pork filling. All the dumplings I find in western grocery stores are filled with chicken, and honestly, that's pretty much the same crime as a tofurkey. You want real dumplings? Get pork dumplings. I wish they had them in like... 5 lb bags like you can find in Kam Man up in Quincy, though. They have a lot of the more popular selections, with wider varieties, as well. Lots of ramune, many, many types of noodles, shiro and awase miso (I think they also have aka miso, but I didn't notice), lots of teas. I think I also saw some big bags of rice cakes for making tteokbokki. Also, if you like making food from scratch for yourself, they have a pretty good selection of harder to find ingredients. Like, different types of soy sauces, calamansi juice, star anise, etc. They even have kansui if you want to make ramen from scratch. I'll be coming here more often in the future.

Ethnic food shopping can be frustrating especially when you're looking for something in particular. Another huge improvement- credit/debit payments! Minimum purchase of $15. New Point Of Sale for itemized receipts. Like I've said earlier- freshly cooked meats, and veggies, and pastries ($2 for various baked pastries) every Thursday. My family goes nuts for the baked roast pork buns. They're 8 small buns for $7.50. Heat them up for like 40 seconds. As for the bbq meats they may have roast pork (cha sieu), fire roasted pig (lechon), roasted duck, soy sauced chicken, salted chicken, white cut chicken (ba chi gai) and others depending on availability. For the fire roasted pig I suggest heating it up in a broiler, skin side up, on a low rack and watch it carefully. The skin will be perfectly crispy like chicharrones (pork rinds). I like that this place sells the veggies by the pound and you bag them yourself. Many times I've bought prepackaged veggies to find some not so fresh ones in the package. Also I don't like to buy that many veggies usually so I like to pick up just enough for what I need. Since the management change I have been here every Thursday. Glad to see the many needed upgrades!
