We have long been fans of Previte's Market in Weymouth. I finally got myself to this newer location a few months ago and I've been quite impressed over the course of several visits.
It is a much larger store and easier to navigate than the Weymouth location. And unlike the Weymouth store here there is abundant and easy parking.
I've been in the suburbs too long...I don't want to deal with crazy parking situations and the jockeying for a space in the Weymouth lot or parking on the street when the lot is full and then having to cross a very busy street with no stop sign or lights is not for me.
Here they sell the same high quality meats with a number of butchers available who can help with questions, advice and general assistance.
They have the same (but larger) great delicatessen with assorted domestic and imported cheeses, cold cuts, salads and prepared foods as their other location .They make both hot and cold sandwiches to stay or to go making it a great place to stop for lunch.
Of note, they make their own delicious arancini which are southern Italian rice balls. I make these at home from time to time but it is time consuming to do so which makes me happy to have the option of buying some here when the urge strikes.
Previte's also does catering. You can order party platters of hot or cold sandwiches, prepared foods, salads, and appetizers as well as trays of various pasta and meat dishes. Sometimes when entertaining it's nice to have the option to share the cooking responsibilities. The quality of the food made here is really good so it's an easy decision.
Previte's sells a few fresh fruits and vegetables but that's not a reason to come here. They do have a nice selection of jarred Italian products that I regularly use like hot peppers, giardinaria, olives and the like as well as assorted dried pastas and some spices.
There is a section of frozen foods like ravioli, gnocchi, and tortellini and probably some other things I am forgetting but I don't usually purchase these items.
On a recent visit it was quite warm and sunny out. We ordered sandwiches at the counter and ate on the lovely outside patio under an umbrella. So delightful. We also bought a brisket that day which my husband cooked on his smoker. We ended up with the most tender and delicious meal. The quality of the beef was excellent (not to forget mentioning Tom's skill with the smoker). When we have hosted BBQs, this is where we purchase the meats.
Previte's is a great specialty store including selling a great number of Italian products that I appreciate finding in one location. I am thrilled to now have two locations to choose from although this one has become the one I now go to over the Weymouth store. Although it is a few miles further away from home, the ease and abundance of parking, and the larger footprint is worth the drive for the same delicious food, good service and array of specialty products. read more
