Bianchini's Market

I LOVE Bianchini’s Market. I know many people are likely turned away by the prices, but if you know what you are looking at, you understand why it costs what it does. This is one of the only markets within a 30 minute drive that carries Alexandre dairy, Rodolphe Le Meunier butter, and kishu oranges, just to name a few things. If you know, then you know.

Amazing produce. Organic heirloom varietals of apples and other fruits you cannot find anywhere else. Xlnt healthy hot food selection. Small market, yet thoughtful inventory of healthful and artisinal brands.
Awesome meats and seafood. I love their fresh ground lamb.

I know Bianchini's by reputation, but this week was my first personal experience with this wonderful market, so I want to share and encourage others to support them! We had signed up to provide an after-game meal for one of the baseball teams yesterday evening, but it had been raining off and on for the past couple of days, so there was uncertainty over whether the game would get rained out (even after the game had already started). Because of the situation, I didn't want to commit to purchasing a large meal, but on the flip side, some advance notice was necessary to be ready. Also, I wanted a hot meal alternative to pizza that would be easy to serve and reasonably priced. I first spoke to Laurie and she offered to have the chefs prepare a lasagna and veggie pasta the day before and then they would be on stand by to bake them, so if the game was canceled, they could still sell the items. On game day, Raul (sp?) was extremely friendly and flexible and essentially gave me until the last minute to make the call, which ended up being a go. I'm so appreciative of their customer service and accommodation and will continue to shop there whenever I have the opportunity! BTW, the food was also amazing and we received tons of compliments, so thank you!!

Nice grocery store in Portola Valley.

I absolutely love Bianchini's. I have nothing but good things to say about this beautiful little market. The employees here are always so friendly. They go above and beyond for everyone. They're always in a great mood, always willing to help, and even ask me if I need help finding something. I love all of the different personalities. These employees are what make Bianchini's Market so great in my opinion. Not only that, but the way the store is organized definitely appeazes my undiagnosed OCD. My most favorite part of the entire store is when you look up, you can see such cute decor above the shelves! This place is definitely a hidden gem. And, for the review from the woman who complained about not having enough condiments on her sandwich, just ask the employees to see the amount they're putting onto the sandwich. Please don't allow bad reviews like that to hinder youself from a great experience here.

I searched several markets and supermarkets near me for some ingredients...couldn't find them and didn't want to order from Amazon. My son recommended Bianchini's because he had been working in the area and stopped in to pick up some prepared food for lunch. It's a drive for me, but figured that I would give them a try.... I WILL BE BACK... The BEST cheese section I have seen outside of a specialized cheese shop. They also had guanciale in stock... Looks like a wonderful meat department. I didn't do a general walk through because I found what I was looking for and had other places to go. Great, GREAT market !!

This is my go-to place for meat and produce. No supermarket around comes close, not Draegers, not Whole Foods, and definitely not Safeway. They have a very good cheese section and a decent wine department. They manage to get unique producers like As Kneaded bread (incredible!). Staff is small-town friendly and helpful. Love this place, wish it were closer.

Produce is great, staff is very helpful, coffee is good. Solid selection of other types of goods. I could do my whole weekly shopping here and be happy.

They have a really large selection of ready-to-eat, juicy, organic fruit.

A fun grocery store. I wish I was wealthy enough to just get my protein from the meat counter. Super high quality stuff.

It's a family run grocer very high-quality fruits and vegetables. Also packed with lots of wonderful goodies that the upscale crowd seems to like. Amber, their former pastry chef was amazing and would do custom artwork on cakes at sure about now, but I think still just as good

Very friendly employees. Great ribs. Very fresh produce that lasts longer than other stores' offerings.

This market employs genuinely nice people. Every employee has been kind and attentive, and I always leave feeling happy with my experience. Also the most fun selection of food for someone not from the area!

Nice market in the community. The lamb rib chops at the meat deli are great. They'll readily french them for you when asked, and I keep coming back to them to fetch stuff for a quick weekend grill.

A high end out of the way market.As soon as i left the car i could smell the apples.Fruit stand ouy side had some of the loveliest apples ,along with many other items.All very nice, as well attractive.Lots deli items inside, with beautiful meat,vegetable ,cheese for lunch ,dinner ,or maybe a nice picnic.Meat looked good at butcher counter.High end groceries, vegetables round out a cool market.Will certainly return with more money .Nice area, good parking.

Fairly pricey but the food is very good. They have a nice hot food section as well as a salad bar. Food is consistently fresh and they have a great variety of fruit from local farms. Service is good as well.

Bianchini's is the best. A large variety of fresh fruit, fresh meats and fish, fresh bread and lots special foods all over. They also carry a good selection of wine, beers and also some of the best ice cream brands.

Fantastic grocery store - well stocked, with high quality products, and friendly and helpful staff.

There is no place close to Bianchini's in variety and quality, particularly cheese, produce, wines, beer, fish, meat and a wide selection of interesting packaged foods that you won't find elsewhere. It seems small, but it has virtually everything. And it is rare that you have to wait more than 5 mins at checkout; they will call extra checkers if there are more than 3 in line. Great place that feels like a real neighborhood market.

Tasty Prepared Foods!! Chicken noodle soup was loaded with vegs, simple pasta salad wow, bbq pork ribs meaty, tri tip quesadilla loaded! & different milks - alexanders with ginger turmeric Yum... .......😻🐶 had a Nice stroll...
