I have absolutely no clue why I have never written a review on this place.. well here we go…read more I've been here to pick up things for events and raffles.. Ive tried the oils and vinegars pre-Covid. Lots of fun things to try and it gives you ideas of things to use with different foods. (Mayer Lemon EVOO!) Oils as a garnish or to sauté with, make salad dressings, dip your bread..the list goes on. Thing is with Covid I have no idea if you can try anything? I would say ask.. I buy blind and I just go by a description so... What's nice is they ship and they have a few other locations. If you want to give a gift to someone who loves to cook but not sure what to get them. Come here you can get a bunch of different things or get a prepared box of boxed up oils and etc. Staff is friendly and helpful considering Covid it's not a big place and they will regulate the flow of customers if it gets a bit too much. What's good about this place is where it is, after you go in here depending the time frame you can pop in to Baker Street Bakery for some bread and treats. Check out Salty a lovely boutique store or go to Cafe Sasso, Glen Edith, The Chai Guy or Pittsford Dairy for some drinks and treats. Parking is street or behind the building on Somerton. Give them a whirl.

I absolutely love any stop into F. Oliver's. Looking for a unique gift you know people will use?…read moreThis is the spot! The staff here are total experts when it comes to helping you find a unique flavor profiles and combinations, and, while I haven't been in during the COVID times, know they have an amazing tasting process during the normal times. I adore their balsamics and am particularly partial to the fig and berry-based bottles. We always have F. Olivers with our Sunday sauce at my parents house - paired with some Wegmans garlic tuscan bread?! Forget it. I always look forward to my next order of oils and balsamics. Stop in if you have yet to, making stops at Salty and Baker Street Bakery in the awesome Somerton plaza. F. Olivers also has a location in Canandaigua. Happy dipping!

This is *the* place for Italian specialty goods!…read more The bf and I finally used up a bulk size bottle of olive oil and committed to buying a nice Italian EVOO from Lucano. For $20, we landed on Coluccio from Sicily (1L) that the owner also uses in the cooking at their restaurant next door. She recommended it so we trusted her insight. Definitely good bang for your buck. We also picked up some dried porcini mushrooms ($5) and burrata (buffalo mozzarella & stracciatella - $12). The owner was a gem. Joann gave us cooking tips on the proper preparation for a cream sauce using the mushrooms. The items in the store are all from smaller artisanal Italian farms. I found most of the prices to be relatively reasonable considering they're all imported from Italy. They offer a variety of things that would be perfect for making a gift basket like pasta, canned tomatoes (San Marzano - the best!), spreads, and adorable serving platters. You'll find frozen clams for your next pasta dish or fresh deli meats and delicious buffalo mozzarella (the most delicious cheese in the world) for a homemade charcuterie plate. We're going to be regulars, for sure.

Did a sample tasting of flavored vinegars at Rochester a public market today and I was sold on…read morethem! Many flavors too choose from. They even make olive oil soaps and lotions. I bought a rose olive oil bar soap which smells amazing and can't wait to try it. The young girl at the market was so nice and friendly. She let us sample whatever we wanted and even introduced us to peach vinegar mixed with basil. OMG! Delicious I picked up a bottle of basil and can't wait to try it with my salads! Definitely a must try at the market. Located right at the main entrance so you won't miss it

Popped into this Aldi location to pick up my CHEESE ADVENT CALENDAR. The fact that they stock…read morecheese advent calendars alone is enough to warrant 4 stars, but this location also scores point in cleanliness, accessibility, pricing, and location! SUCH a convenient spot to grab pretty much everything you would need to host a bomb snack party. I also picked up some fuzzy socks that I am currently wearing and they are comfy as heck so...you've been alerted. I had never been in an Aldi and was totally surprised by the sheer amount of stuff they had. The aisle where the weekly deals are was absolutely popping and for good reason. They had holiday wrap, decor, and a few other goodies to make planning for the holiday a breeze. I know now to always bring my bags and a quarter for the cart, and that the cart at the end of the checkout is for the cashier...not yours. As a newbie they basically looked at me like I had four heads when I let them know that was not my cart. Sigh...so much Aldi etiquette yet to discover. Overall - a clean location to get some budget shopping done! I am hosting Christmas eve this year and cannot wait to come back for all my snacks and party needs!

Aldi has some amazing deals, and is a great place to shop as long as you come in understanding what…read morekind of grocery store this is. Don't expect to be able to find everything on your list here. They have a lot of things, but this isn't a giant supermarket with every grocery item imaginable like Wegman's. Instead, what you will find is a good selection of items at a discounted price. Many of the items are their own brand, and those are great quality. Remember to bring a quarter for unlocking a shopping cart. Be ready to do your own bagging. They have some great snacks and frozen food. They have some amazing options for juices at super low prices. Their produce section is pretty small, you might not find what you are looking for. Give it a try!

Can't wait to learn more about their chocolate tonight with our virtual tour.
