I'd give it 3.5 stars if possible, but I'll go with 4. (I was tempted to give it 3, to balance all the over-the-top reviews, but figured that wouldn't really be fair.). After reading so many wildly-enthusiastic rave reviews, I was expecting a huge store stocked with a really wide variety of products. Instead, I was nonplussed to find an almost tiny store with a limited selection. Don't get me wrong - it's a nice place, the staff were friendly and helpful; and they certainly had things you won't find at larger "mainstream" stores like Whole Foods or (God forbid) Trader Joe's, but that's really not saying much. If I lived within walking distance or had a car, or even just lived on the N line, I'd probably stop by once in a while, but as it is, I don't see returning any time in the foreseeable future because even though I live in South Brooklyn, DiPalo's (in Manhattan's Little Italy), Buon Italia (in the Chelsea Market), and Eataly are more accessible to me by public transportation and for that matter, simply have a better selection of products. Eataly is certainly (much) more expensive, but also has a much wider array of "modern" Italian products, while DiPalo's is actually pretty similar to Coluccio's as far as their retail operations are concerned (with similar, good prices), and Buon Italia has a better selection of dry/shelf-stable goods, also at broadly comparable prices. read more

this italian specialty shop that has been around a long time and serves the old timers and new folks in brooklyn and beyond.the place is in a commerical industrial area, and it still is popular, maybe not as crowded like the 70s and 80s, but still has its following for italian delicacies.the place is not that fancy in decor, but serves it customers like family. the pasta, olive oil, cheeses,salami, olives., fresh breads, the cookies, frozen foods from the old country is what makes folks come back. many hard to find stuff that is only available in italy is here.many different types of tomatoes sauces and assorted olives.when you order your cheeses or cold meats, no slicer its cut in chunks, like the bandito way. for me the hot and sweet sausages, the fresh mozzarella, and the homemade breads and i am happy. so remember if you are going to cook a homemade italian meal, i suggest you stop by and pick up the real deal, its worth the trip, just remember parking can be a mission, so be patient. read more

D. Coluccio & Sons - Cheese Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They import from Italy, not a huge variety but very good stuff, especially pasta, coffee, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce w/o additives, and prepared foods. Homemade cheeses are good. Most of all, as wholesalers, their prices are great!Ask for Mario. He's a warm wonderful person. read more

Absolutely love this store! I usually come on the weekends so it tends to be a little crowded, but it is all worth it. This is your traditional Italian import store with a wide selection of cheeses, olives, dried sausages, and antipasti. Each aisle is filled with all you can imagine from Italy including pasta, jarred vegetables, cookies and candies, sodas and juices, nuts, canned tomatoes, fresh bread (the olive focaccia is delicious!), and more! If you want the best selection of their fresh baked goods, you have to get there early otherwise they sell out. They have fresh bread and focaccia, cookies, and taralli. The holidays are my favorite time to come because they always have a wide variety of panettone and other yummy treats! read more

This place brings you back to Italy. The Italian selection of cookies, crackers, pasta, baking goods, etc., is all there. Things you can not find anywhere else. Their cheese and dried sausage is fantastic and they have the best olives I ever had. I have been a customer for years. They never lost once ounce of top quality. I moved to Long Island and still male a trip or have my kids stop on their way to visit. If you are Italian and you are in Brooklyn, this is a must visit. The customer service is also top notch. Don't miss out. read more

The best . The food is high quality and they ha e so many cheeses to select from . I personally love the olive oils that they carry. Not the supermarket variety. The staff is so friendly. I highly recommend this store read more

no one mentioned the truly fabulous Coluccio's olive oil - I buy it by the case. It is absolutely delicious and a great price. As everyone says - the specialty food items are incredible. I can't get out of that store without loading up a cart. That's the other beauty of this place - you can buy in bulk. I also buy San Marzano tomatoes by the case. And every once in a while they have really good Italian cookbooks on sale. Worth the trip! read more

Amazing customer service! This is the first time I ever ordered from them and most definitely won't be the last. I wanted to send a sympathy basket to a friend. I was traveling and called Coluccio and Sons. Dominic went out of his way to send me pictures of what was available. I picked one and it was delivered that same day (within a matter of hours). The family couldn't get over the basket! You don't see service that this too often! read more

They are a wholesale/retail store that has been around for years. They carry many imported items that you normally couldn't find elsewhere. Some stuff is an okay price, some stuff pricey. They have added more shelves over the years, but not as crowded as I remember, when I was younger. It's good to see familiar faces still working there. Parking can be annoying, but good to get some goodies every now and again. read more

I've been going there for over 35 years, with my mom and family. I've moved out of Brooklyn 20 years ago but I still go back. I always find what I need and it's that old world charm of the store that's great. There's not many places where I am that have all my Italian favorites and cheeses. It brings me back to my grandmother and my Italian heritage, she would drive those poor guys behind the counter crazy! This store is definitely my favorite. read more

Many many things imported from Italy. All kinds of pasta, cheese, meats, spices, jams, etc

Should get 6 stars for being the most authentic place in Brooklyn to shop for REAL Italian goods. Best deals on cheeses, oils & pastas as well as bacalo, procuitto, olives. Hard to find items like chestnut flower and dried beans from Italy. You cant beat the price . This is a gleam into the brooklyn that we used to know and love so well. Family owned and operated. read more

They have some excellent gourmet and gluten-free items - frozen baguettes from Everybody Eats (saved us a trip to Park Slope!), a large variety of la veneziana pasta in many shapes, including bow ties and anellini, copper cast gf pasta that I haven't seen anywhere else, Galbusera crackers (the best gf crackers ever - they're not just good for gf, they're just plain good), a large variety of cheeses, frozen wild boar, and everything just looked and smelled amazing. read more

Olives were great but the place is small and doesn't have much of a variety. Still worth the trip.

This place is my home away from home. Amazing staff. You walk in, you are family. Best prices, and freshest quality. Go here for bulk too. read more

This place is decent.. just ok.. not ALL that.. no way.. they always push things that will expire soon... IT is just the Italian scene is going the way of the dinosaur in that part of Brooklyn so people hang on to the old days... I never get much when in there.. not a big store... some people gripe about it.. I hear it... Is it good to have? Yes.. but are there better? I don't know anymore IN Brooklyn... I don't hate the place but do not see the WOW factor here.... read more

It's not obvious that it would be hard to find crusty bread in Bay Ridge, but it is. So, oddly, this is the best place around here for crusty bread. Delicious. read more

Used to shop at Coluccio's when he was on 59th st. Now, I drive an hour to Brooklyn just to shop there. What a great shop! Nice selection, and they even keep a selection of "old school" items that Grandma used to use! read more

Great place,food and service. Best cheese and olives around. Definitely check expiration dates here.

Ah, my favorite for Italian food products. Simply the best prices and quality. I sometimes feel like I am buying wholesale that's how great the prices are. Brings me back to the days when I used to live in Brooklyn not too far there. I go there about once a month to stock up, I live in New Jersey now. I wish though they would expand the deli a little more....prosciuttos, ready made meals etc. Maybe one day. It's the only place where I can find besciamella for my lasagna. What a great place! read more
