From their dry-aged beef, fish, organic chicken, sausages, to their frozen selections from chicken feet, pancetta (whole), guanciale, duck, etc.--it's all good.

I remember the first time visiting Baron's Quality Meats and Seafood and we bought a Denver Steak,…read morewhich was recommended by a friend's dad who used to be a butcher. [From the web] "A Denver steak, also known as Zabuton, is a relatively new, well-marbled, and tender cut of beef from the chuck primal section under the shoulder blade. It comes from the serratus ventralis muscle and is prized for its rich flavor and buttery texture, similar to a ribeye, despite being from a traditionally tougher area of the cow. It is best cooked using high-heat searing methods to fully develop its flavor and tenderize it. After cooking it, it wasn't as tender as we had hoped. He said you need to braise it. D'oh! We enjoy looking at the customer's dry aged beef sitting in the display case. Support your local business.

I love this place! I usually order the pepperoni from here, which is topped with the finest pepperoni on top of beautiful 00 crust in which the gluten has been fully developed and respected in order to create the perfect Al-dente crust. Every pizza I have tried at slice house has been SO good! Yesterday I had the Caesar salad for the first time! I would have much preferred that they had tossed it with the dressing and served it on a real plate instead of in plastic, but I can't complain too much, because the lettuce was crisp and fresh, the croutons were lovely and fresh, and it came with authentic shaved Reggiano!

Green Valley Produce offers most basic veggies and fruits at a reasonable price. Other products…read moreavailable are grains, pasta, dairy and some canned food. Their hours can sometimes be a little inconsistent at times. They are usually open everyday even on holidays and offer delicious fruits in the summertime. Parking lot is kept clean but you have to drive in slowly if you have a low car. I've scratched my bumper a few times driving in too quickly. My fault, not theirs. Atmosphere is usually quiet, people don't tend to browse and usually go in and out. Staff is friendly and helpful with finding specific produce. I would definitely encourage everyone in the area to support their small business.

Green Valley Produce has been around for at least 20+ years but first time visiting after a 6 year…read moreabsence. I believe new owners and gentleman working was friendly and welcoming. I mainly visited for the fresh roasted peanuts which was the big draw here over the years. Sizes ranging from a small, medium to large bag @ $3.99/lb. The medium will get you a lb. Not sure when they were roasted but still good. Green Valley Produce is a small open store/stand offering fruits, some veggies, (no fresh herbs) and Middle Eastern spices, some vacuum-sealed meats, lentils, olive oils, dates, and some all meat puff pastry and vegetarian pies made locally. I left with some okra, yams, garlic, ginger spices, homemade beef pies...and of course, roasted peanuts. *** Overall 3.5 stars *** Pricing on fruit reasonable considering I just went to the Farmer's Market and noticed Green Valley selling the same Cara Cara oranges for 1.89/lb vs $3.89/lb which will get ya 4 oranges! I'm all for supporting small business but sheesh! Open 7 days a week from 830am - 730pm I wouldn't go out of your way to stop by unless you're wanting some roasted peanuts, reasonably-priced fruit and veggies and in the area. Support small business! Plenty of lot parking in front and located off B Street, next block over from Grocery Outlet

I had heard a lot about this small business from my auntie a couple years ago when Dubai chocolate…read moresuddenly became viral. I finally found some time to visit with my cousin on a quiet Friday early afternoon. We were greeted to a beautiful, clean, and well organized store by the kind and polite owner, Areej. The vibe of the store very much so echoed a candy store you'd find in a shopping mall, except all the sweet treats are handmade and imported from countries such as Palestine and Turkey. Areej was very kind and welcoming and walked us through each of the different sweet treats, such as truffles and Turkish delights. There are also various mixed roasted nuts options with unique seasonings, and even Dubai chocolate strawberry cups! Areej was kind and generous, providing ample samples of the Turkish delights in flavors like Oreo, Dubai chocolate, birthday cake, and even sesame chocolate! My cousin also really likes their mixed party nuts that had a great spicy kick to it from a special blend of imported spices. Because of Areej's hospitality and generosity, as well as the prime quality of the chocolate truffles, mixed toasted nuts, and Turkish delights we were able to sample, I definitely did not hesitate to take home some delectable goodies (see photos). There also were skincare products made in Palestine, and I bought this homemade rose scented olive oil soap that I'll be gifting to my friend for her birthday :) Thank you so much, Areej, for being so welcoming! We will definitely recommend to others and come back! PS: It was mentioned that in the past, many people would walk in, sample large amounts of the shop's goodies, and then rudely leave the store without buying anything. Honestly, that's so distasteful! We need to support small businesses as much as possible, and even buying as much as one tiny chocolate truffle helps sustain businesses like The Old City Roastery. Businesses that make our diverse SF Bay Area so rich in culture and high-quality foreign culinary cuisines. Have some decorum, yall!!

Rigatoni's Restaurant is a fast-casual Italian eatery located in a very popular shopping center in…read moreCastro Valley. I feel like it's been a staple in downtown for many years, and give nostalgic memories for those that have lived in the area. Now with kiddos, we stopped by for a quick meal after a weekend event with a big group. We were able to grab seating right away and order at the register/grab our numbers. I miss a complimentary bread bar, and Rigatoni's has never failed with that :) Service is friendly and our meals came out accordingly. A few standout comforting dishes: the Rigatoni Bolognese, Broccoli & Chicken Rigatoni, Cheese Ravioli, House Made Lasagna, and the Fettuccine Alfredo to name a few. The lasagna comes with a rich meat sauce, but what I love about the rigatoni bolognese is that it comes in a cream sauce which is just so tasty. There's a little something for everyone on the menu here. They have a kiddo menu, sandos, salads and other starters, and combo meals for a smaller-sized entrée, a soda, and choice of starter soup or salad. They have soups and sauces to-go, and appears they do parties/catering. Rigatoni's will always have a special place in my heart ~ it's a pretty straight-forward establishment that does the trick. Parking can be found in the adjacent shopping center, pricing is fair.

My fave is their chicken parmigiana, salmon risotto, salads...and of course bread bar: sourdough, seeded, olive with option of balsamic/olive oil dip or butter. I've tried their minestrone and flavor wise delicious but this last visit the vegetables tasted frozen as it wasn't crisp or soft but bouncy in texture...noticeable with the carrots. If you're wanting to try the smoked pork chop, decent but 2 thin cuts and tastes like a breakfast ham. I'll definitely try the steak with mushrooms next time. Service friendly, efficient and welcoming. Food reasonably priced and delicious...if you have realistic expectations you'll enjoy the food and casual dining. Of course best to dine in (during non peak times) vs take out where sauce dries out or absorbed into the pasta. Place clean and organized. Plenty of lot parking during non peak times (lunch and weekends are chaos!) along with free street parking.

Butter. We all love it...even those of us that should love it a little less according to the fit of…read moreour clothes. I used to make butter sandwiches when I was little. Thick wheat bread slathered with butter and smashed together was a favorite treat when I would come home from school. Yep, I'm a lover of the butter. So when I saw this tube of Cinnamon Molasses butter laying on the corporate kitchen counter during Wed bagel day this morning, I thought hmm. I was not tempted though, until another gal tried some and pronounced it just like Cinnamon Toast or 'your grandmother's cinnamon rolls'. Well Grandma never made cinnamon rolls, it was more like arroz con pollo, but I can imagine how good they would have been since her cooking skills are sick. I slathered some on and made my way back to my corporate cube. The first bite...HOLY CRAP! This stuff is the bomb. One of my other coworkers guiltily showed up in the kitchen with a 1/4 of a bagel saying she had already had one but that butter was so good she had to have another tiny bit. According to one of my coworkers, a neighbor of someone here makes these and gave them some samples. Gosh, I wish I had neighbors like that. Locally made, fatty, flavored butter? Sign me up. I wish they sold not just in bulk but if they had a variety pack in bulk, I WOULD BUY IT!!!!! Garlic chive butter? That would be amazing on a thick juicy grilled steak. Orange ginger? Mix that into some cream cheese frosting for a tangy kick. And yes, the Cinnamon Molasses. Catch me sneaking into the kitchen for another 1/4? Heck no, I'm having me a 1/2.
