Citarella

This place is one of my favorite grocery stores! 🛒 Citarella on the UWS 🗽 has everything you need - fruit 🍎, vegetables 🥒, fresh meat 🍖, cheese 🧀, canned goods 🥫, cakes 🎂, drinks 🍾, snacks 🥨, salads 🥗, and so much more! Staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and professional and service is quick! ⏲ It's so fun walking 🚶 around and exploring 🔍 the fully stacked shelves. I wish I came here more often!

I don't really do reviews when I visit grocery stores, but Citarella on the Upper West Side is the exception. They have the most amazing fish and seafood selection that you will ever find at a gourmet grocery store. The selection is exceptional. The meat and cheese options are also fantastic as well. If you're looking to prepare a special meal, this is the place to go. There is a reason why Citarella is always so crowded!

Surprised there are so few reviews of Citarella, because it's a popular gourmet grocery store. Not cheap by any means, but the quality is up there, so you get what you pay for. Imported cheese, smoked fish, baked goods, etc.

The best, freshest fish! Even hard to find varieties. Whole or already prepared.

Great place so many top quality food high end groceries! The prepared food is like going to a restaurant chef 👨‍🍳 made meals

This is the original and oldest Citarella, est. 1912. When this store went up, the street it was built on still had cobblestones. So that’s pretty extraordinary. For surviving so long and bringing a piece of New York’s past into the present, for that alone it merits 4 stars. Fairway next door is also the original and oldest Fairway, est. 1933.

Citarella loses 1 star for its exorbitant pricing. Although it isn’t uniformly overpriced. On certain products it can be entirely within typical NYC pricing. You’re never getting below-market prices however, you’re never “scoring a deal” here.

Excellent bakery section. Typical current NYC pricing so not a good price but not more overpriced than everybody else.

量り売りのお惣菜がどれも手の込んだもので美味しそうでした!
焼いた鮭と、マッシュルームとかぼちゃのリゾットを購入しましたが味付けがバッチリ。
鮭にはタルタルを２個つけて貰えそうでしたが１個でやめておきました。
取ってくれるお兄さんも鮭の部位がどこが良いかとか、リゾットこのくらいでいいかとか少しずつすくいながら聞いてくれたのでありがたかったです。

I like the store very much, but I want to point out that the phone number listed here on Google does not apply to the store! I just tried to call, and it is a private number. Hope they can fix this. Thanks.

This establishment, let's call it Scamrella, is best avoided. Despite the soups being satisfactory, the exorbitant prices raise serious concerns. It seems they perceive themselves as a high-end grocery, but it's time to mature – people aren't fooled by the overpriced facade. Disappointed with the unaffordability! CRINGE!

We shopped (home delivery) for the first time - rather disappointing: rasberries were mostly rotten, they did not last even a day, two out of three cucumbers were not ok, and the cereal boxes were mostly torn on the corners (they looked really old). We will not buy again.

I spent close to $600 on Thanksgiving food and it was delivered 2 days early, which means the food will be 3 days old by the time Thanksgiving gets here. I tried calling customer service and was told "that is how we do it, I cannot assist you any further". Very disappointed.

Make sure to count your shellfish before you leave. They will short you.
