The store is clean, bright and well organized and I never have to wait long to check out. The prices are good. The ONLY reason it's not 5 * is that they do have a smaller selection of items, meaning sometimes I still end up running to another store. They do however have a few specialty items like Lactose free yogurt, lactose free cheese and almond milk. My only other complaint is that they keep the good gluten free pastas (with multiple grains-they tend to survive boiling better) in with the regular pasta and the single grain pastas like rice or corn (which can turn to mush) in the GF section. Maybe at least a sign noting that there are other options available in the regular pasta aisle as it took me a few weeks to figure out where they were. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this Food Basics and am glad they are part of our community.

There's an old-school vibe here that makes shopping feel personal and community-oriented. Whether it's their homemade sausage, fresh-cut steaks, or locally-sourced fruits and vegetables, you can count on Pupo's to bring in the best. It's not just a grocery store -- it's a reminder of how shopping used to feel: friendly, reliable, and rooted in pride. Saluti

They still remember exceptional customer service, as they did when we were growing up. Apples in the big bin come from the orchards, and they save you a trip from going to the orchards. The pricing is excellent. The meat is fresh, and helping customers when it's your turn takes only minutes. The checkout lines go fast, and you always feel like you are in/out of there quicker than at any other store. This place is a hidden GEM.

Visited Longo's while in Welland. It's great to finally see Longo's open in Welland. The store is…read morebright, clean, and well laid out, with an excellent selection of fresh produce, prepared foods, and quality grocery items. Staff were friendly, and the shopping experience was smooth. We also tried the pizza and a veal sandwich, and both were very good -- a nice addition to the shopping experience if you're looking to grab a quick bite. Overall, a welcome addition to the Welland grocery scene and a great new option for quality food shopping. Saluti.

He's constantly there in the store checking in with customers and happy to order anything you can't find. There is a better selection here than other stores in town and the store is beautiful with their remodel. I often find things here that I'm not able to find elsewhere in town. They have a deli, bakery, etc. I rarely have a long wait to check out and they have an excellent clearance section tucked in the back where great deals can be found. They also have a free piece of fruit for kids. They also note which items are made locally which is nice.

Visited La Gabella while in Welland. When you've been in business for over 40 years, you usually…read morehave a pretty good handle on things--and La Gabella is proof of that. This family-run establishment has become a staple in the community, and Welland is better for having it. I've enjoyed every visit over the years. The hot veal sandwich always hits the spot, and there's no shortage of tempting choices, from their fresh-baked breads and pastries to pizza and the hot table. Everything reflects the care and consistency that comes from decades of experience. The service is friendly, the quality is dependable, and it's the kind of place locals are proud to have in their city. Overall, a true Welland institution that continues to deliver quality food and warm hospitality after more than four decades. Saluti.

The food selection is excellent. The vegetables and fruits are plentiful and always fresh, along with being reasonably priced. The staff are courteous and friendly. The store is kept very clean.

I would like to commend her for being an incredibly friendly and conscientious employee. Her work ethic is incredible and she has an amazing demeanour.

Been going to the Starsky's in Mississauga for a few years. That one is great, but this location…read moremight be actually be better. The layout is different and more logical. The prices and/or specials might be consistently lower. Their produce specials are deeply discounted. Great for those big pots of soups, stews and chowders in the cold months when you need a lot of vegetables. I find their bakery section less cluttered than the aforementioned. And the bakery clerks very friendly. Who can't be friendly around all that sweetness. Each aisle has a special on one product or another. The jarred root vegetable salads are aplenty. Hard to find European products packaged with high standards such as Pâté are in full dupp Their meat and poultry prices are reasonable as well. And to my surprise they sell Wine and Beer. I got an excellent bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for under $15 that's cheaper than the price for the same bottle in the USA. So that's easily worth 5 stars.
