What can I say about this place? A LOT. But in the interest of not completely filling up Yelp's…read moredatabase, I'll keep it brief. The first thing that you notice when you walk into Garofalo's is how great it smells: it's like getting hit in the face with a cinder block of glorious fucking awesomeness. It smells THAT good. I love it. I really don't think there's a single thing here that isn't fantastic. I'm especially in love with their smoked ribs. The stuffed pork chops are awesome. They make all sorts of phenomenal sausages. They also sell a variety of other things: various cheeses, meats, spices, canned tomatoes, olive oil and more. The staff at Garofalo's are great as well. They're very friendly. This place is obviously in the best hands. If you're not familiar with the area, it might be a little tricky to find because it's on a weird little road. There really isn't any parking (I normally walk here from my Schenectady office anyway), so the best place is to just park in the lot around the bend behind Perreca's and Cornell's. Garofalo's is well within walking distance from there. Garofalo's accepts credit cards, but there's a minimum amount (which is $15 if I recall correctly). Be warned: If you're going there today for the smoked ribs, you're SOL. I'm pretty sure I bought them out for the day. That's how I roll.

The steaks are outstanding quality. The Lamb Sausage which we grill is a family favorite, especially as an appetizer. The Italian Sausage is great in sauce or grilled. They also make sausage patties in the summer. Their grated cheese is always in our refrigerator. Out of state relatives request the cheese and the Italian Sausage when we visit.

The emphasis is…read moredefinitely on 'local,' and we ended up with a surprise find, a candi onion which is apparently locally produced and neither of us had even heard of. There's plenty we found appealing about the experience, from the clean and spacious aisles and clear labels to the full range of goods we weren't sure we would find, including bakery, deli, produce, and pet foods. Staff at checkout was energetically friendly and I left thinking that I wouldn't mind going back at all. There's limited parking directly in front of the shop but more across the road. Apparently the co-op was established some 80 years ago and has gone through several transformations. I have a soft spot for local businesses and independent grocers, so here's hoping they stay open for many more years.

Nothing has really changed from my last review. Price has remained the same, $45 for a meal for two. The turkey breast is moist; the mashed potatoes are best with some gravy; green beans, carrots, squash, and stuffing are all enjoyable. I will say that some of the thigh meat was a little tough this year, but the dark meat eater in the family was still picking on that meat well after dinner while adding some mayo to it. We still are ordering two separate dinners-for-two to feed three of us. Love those leftovers.

Always great quality and always exactly what I am looking for. Jeff and his family are always willing to help me out when I am looking for something different. Given they get their supplies wholesale, I am not disappointed when they cannot. After all, it is a small town and not everyone cooks and eats what I ask for. We often call ahead for special sized cuts, or if I am looking for a bulk order. If I call early enough in the day I can pick them up by that afternoon. Otherwise, they will be ready by the day and hour they tell you. On the customer side of the counters is a perfect supply of the daily needs... milk, bread, condiments, snacks, some fresh vegetables, and most other general cooking needs. A perfect stop on the way home from work to get those quick-grab-staples. Their pre-prepped meals (chicken cordon bleu, stuffed porkchops, marinated chicken breasts, bbq ribs, etc.) and premade sides (potato salads, mac salads, tortellini salads, etc.) are consistently available and nicely done. Their recipes are well seasoned and ready to eat, but easily adapted in your own kitchen to hit that flavor your mom used to make. From the deli, the Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses are always as expected, but don't miss out on their own baked/roasted meats. They are without a doubt competing against their BH meats. When it is time for a sandwich, their subs are one of the best in the area. My only gripe would be that the rolls they use for the subs are not on the bread rack for me to buy and take home. I will admit though, I have never asked to buy them. Always a great experience. I have added several photos of meals we have prepared using Syron's products.
