I agree with the other reviewers who wrote that this is a wonderful local Italian supermarket. And as an added bonus, it's one of the few supermarkets at which I am able to buy fresh baked 18th Avenue Bakery coal fired brick oven bread, bread crumbs and rolls when I can't get to the bakery which is located in Bensonhurst. read more

Ok this is a regular key food or food town with a slight Italian accent. Every thing is just ok nothing that will overwhelm you as far as products. It seems the main reason to go there is the deli counter now here's the rub they have 2 competent deli people and the rest are an autistic group of bumbling idiots that take an abundant amount of time to screw up simple commands. The problem comes on most weekends the line gets about 15 -20 deep and you will stand on that line up to 30 mins for some cheese or ham wtf!!!!! Do something about this please!!!!! read more

In response to Brooklyn A.'s June 3, 2025, post, LaBella Brooklyn has always offered Orzo, specifically the Orzo Bimbo brand. It is stocked in the Italian coffee section, bottom shelf next to the Italian chocolate milk mix. See attached photos. It may not be a currently popular product, however, it has been sold by the Brooklyn LaBella location for years. I have personally noticed it. As a long time customer of LaBella, who travels from another part of Brooklyn to shop at this location, I have always found the staff extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. I am also extremely impressed with the variety of authentic Italian products that I have personally noticed sold in many supermarkets in Italy. To my knowledge, there is no other store in Brooklyn which offers the varity of fresh authentic Italian products at reasonable prices. Another reason I travel to LaBella Dyker Heights is for the fresh, daily made, mozzarella and latitcini products. Always fresh and well made. read more

Parking in the area is what is expected, They have just about everything when it comes to imported Italian items, some of the prices are somewhat high but most of the items are priced reasonably. read more

Like most specialty stores, you can find lots of goodies and treasures and prices can be higher or lower than competitors. I enjoy coming to La Bella for the ready made foods, deli counter, pizza dough and the general left side of the store lol It's always fun to see what they have and what's on sale. The store is a medium size, but packed with lots to choose from including fresh seafood, produce and even pizza and pastries. I'm not so close by so when we come, we go a little ham. The staff is nice and lines go quickly. I'm a fan and enjoy that I can come to get some specialty Italian goods when I'm in the mood. read more

La Bella Marketplace (Brooklyn) -- Sold Spoiled Chicken, Refused Refund On the evening of January 16, I bought Bell & Evans organic chicken for $15, with an expiration date of January 23. It was stored properly in my refrigerator. When I opened it on January 20, it had a strong rotten egg/sulfur smell and was clearly spoiled and inedible. I returned it to the store on January 21, but the manager refused a refund, citing a 24-hour return policy that is not printed on the receipt and was allegedly posted somewhere in the store (I did not see any sign at the entrance or outside the front window). Instead of acknowledging they sold bad chicken, the manager talked down to me, suggesting I needed to "air it out" or freeze it--absurd advice for spoiled meat that was sold refrigerated and still within its expiration date. I wasn't returning food I didn't want; I was returning unsafe food. I lost $15, my dinner plans were ruined, and the store took zero responsibility. I've shopped at La Bella in both Brooklyn and Staten Island many times, but this experience has completely turned me off. Think twice before buying perishable items. read more

I go here specifically for the crumb cake, it's spectacular! Cake is moist and soft, crumb is sweet and delicious. Beyond the crumb cake, I have tried their made pizza, which is on a thicker bread, presumably focaccia. Also great. read more

They have just about everything you need. And at the prices you want, It's just worth the trip.

Neighborhood supermarket that you can get imported Italian items. They make fresh bread and have a buffet station where you can have meat, cheese platters made or sandwiches. Typical supermarket vibe and no complaints with the service . read more

Most of the pr8ces seem fair..some a bit high Plenty to choose from.in the delivery dept. The food is good..not all the greatest but good. Recently had the eggplant parm...have had it before..tasted like someone dumped a.bucket of salt in it. Very disappointed.!!! Bakery section is very good but beware..if over w wkend..make sure your item is fresh. read more

I was always curious to why there are cars always double parked by this supermarket so I decided to go in and check it out. They are located in what use to be a primarily Italian neighborhood which is definitely diversified now. The have a full line bakery and fish market on premises, carry a large selection of Italian specialties although they are a full service supermarket. The place is clean, well staffed, the workers were friendly although did not seem to go out of their way unless asked. It's always very busy. They require masks and have the correct signage for social distancing for COVID-19 while it's around. I would say the store seemed to have more customers in it at one time for safety and I was not their at a busy time. Overall great selection, fair prices and I would recommend them. read more

Worst supermarket and management I don't recommend anyone to shop here everything is marked up twice the original cost and they sell everything expired and poultry I bought chicken yesterday and this morning when I opened my fridge it was dark black color they change the date of actual expiration to make people sick and send you to the hospital they are looking for lawsuits... the manager is another story I caught her on many occasions fighting with customers and chasing them out to the parking lot she follows people to their cars and harasses the customers I don't know how she's employed and very unprofessional. The parking lot is very congested and bad set up and when it rains they have a flood problem where the 1/2 the parking lot is flooded and you can't even park anywhere it's total chaos read more

Disappointed.. unfortunately the Italian markets aren't what they used to be & the ones left in Bensonhurst & Bayridge you can't seem to find an actual Italian either running it OR working in one. The reason I say this is because I've been to a few (like La Bella marketplace many times, even recently) looking for a typical Italian item "Caffe Orzo", NOT the pasta, it's an Italian coffee alternative, I used to see sold in every Italian market especially when there were more Italians here & recently it wasn't here! How are you going to be an Italian imported goods market & not have THAT?! I've asked the workers (they were all Hispanic, before you get your panties up in a bunch, there's a reason I point this out because they were looking at me like I had 10 heads & didn't know what I was talking about). You need an Italian there to know what your customers, who are also Italian (especially in THAT market) ..are looking for! I looked VERY CAREFULLY everywhere, especially aisle 3 where it should have been with the coffee & ovaltine..it's similar to ovaltine but better & healthier. They had plenty of ovaltine but not that..people are buying ovaltine? Where's the Caffe Orzo?? What happened to this place?? read more

Great place to shop if you like your card skimmed and money stolen. Never again. I used to go here all the time. I thought it was some sort of fluke until I realized that I wasn't the only one. I think I'll shop elsewhere unless I have cash on me. Even then I would check the bills that they give you to make sure they are real. read more

A big problem is that during a pandemic, half the employees aren't wearing masks properly (ex. they're often so loose that they're constantly fall down to the mouth, then the employee plops it back over the nose, over and over again), and they don't tell customers who have their masks on their chins to fix their masks. Literally 5 out of 5 visits, I saw someone who DID NOT wear his/her mask. Usually an elderly person. Great selection of foods for American and Italian tastes, though I don't think they stock zucchini noodles anymore. I didn't see ground pork either, but there were LOTS of ground beef variations. Not great if you're looking for even a few Asian products, but I noticed they now have Panko breadcrumbs! Personally, all the cashiers I've encountered have been friendly, albeit a bit slow to do things. I also find that price tags are sometimes missing, which is annoying. read more

For some of that doesn't cook their premade meals are a good deal. Love the fried eggplant. Also the fried chicken you get like 20 ounces for around $10 can't go wrong so much good stuff there. read more

If you live in Dyker Heights and are in need of all things Italian, then you must try La Bella. I was in need of a few goodies so I stopped in a left with more than I needed. My first purchase was fresh Mozzarella. I purchased some Little Neck Clams, and a box of Barilla Linguine. Some fresh Basil was nice too. I grabbed a few Beef Steak Tomato's as well. The gentleman at the fish counter was particularly helpful. I went home and made a small Italian feast. Yum! Yum! read more

Let me put this store on your radar, you'll thank me later. My family has been coming to this store for years. Back in the day, it was part of the C-town franchise but the owner gradually incorporated Italian specialties into the stock. Little by little it became the store locals know and love now. As someone who grew up traveling back and forth to Italy, I can tell you that this place is the real deal - fully stocked with all your basic grocery needs PLUS all the Italian specialty foods, bath soaps, deodorants, baking goods, and even cleaning products that us Italians know and love. In addition their cold cuts are the bomb and they make the BEST sandwiches. Their imported stuff is LIFE. Catering from here is also amazing. I've catered parties from here multiple times and everyone has raved about the food. Everything from their pasta trays to heroes has proven to be a crowd pleaser. You really cannot go wrong catering from here. The people working here are also super helpful. You may find yourself getting lost during your first few trips here (I still get confused when I shop here so don't feel so bad) but just ask around and someone will definitely help you find your way. Just try not to come here on a Saturday afternoon, as it will be packed and you'll need to play bumper cars with your shopping cart. read more

To whoever stumbles upon this review, and you are planning on shopping at La Bella, PLEASE check your receipt!! And I'll explain why. I usually buy lots of groceries and my receipts be lengthy so I don't bother checking them (it's bad I know). Then a few months ago, I only bought about 5 small items and my total was $30. I paid, but I was puzzled. I checked my receipt quickly afterwards and realized the items that were on "sale" marked as 2 for $4, ended up charging me the original price at $5 each. I brought it to their attention that these items said it was on sale. The lady went to the aisle to check and I was right. it indeed said it was 2 for $4 so she fixed it and gave me the refund. No problem there. I went in 2 more times a few weeks after and the same thing happened both times. I was charged the original price and not the sale price... I wasn't mad or anything, I just assumed that my La Bella club card wasn't working (even though I opened it in the summer, but oh wells). I just thought that was the case. They fixed the discount for me both times. Then about 3 days ago, it happened again. The bacon said it was on sale for $2.99 , but I was charged $4.19 for it. I know its like a dollar difference, but its just not right. Its not ethical. And the dollar differences can add up each time. I asked the cashier if my club card is the problem and she said no ur membership card went through, the discount should've showed. Which led me to believe that La Bella put these items up for "sale", but will charge you the original price knowing people don't check their receipts. Unless they forgot to change the discount in their computer system?? But this happened to me 4 times in a row, so there are absolutely no excuse to explain why each time the discount wasn't rendered into the system. And the cashiers have no idea about this so it's not their fault either. I suggest putting the sale items and discounts in the system BEFORE listing them up for sale to the public. Or maybe they just never planned on doing that. Please be careful. Check your receipts. Or stay away from La Bella. Very ashamed and disappointed in the management of this establishment. read more

Great supermarket and very good prices and great Deli.Fullline of Italian products, Fish Dept.is very fresh. Nice friendly staff

Being within walking distance to La Bella Marketplace is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing that we can walk there any day of the week without having to worry about parking, and that it's stocked with all wonderfully fresh Italian specialties. The curse is that you NEVER leave there with only the items on your shopping list! I always get suckered into getting something that was just put on sale or is a weekly special. They must see me coming from up the block. The ideal time to come is really just when they open on a Sunday morning. You get in, and you get out. This place really packs them in, especially around holiday time, and is not meant for the claustrophobic. My only complaint is that it's really hard to navigate the little aisle with a big cart versus the smaller carts that they have. Sometimes there isn't a smaller cart to be found, and you are driving around like a bull in a china shop. If you're looking to look past all that, they really have a great deli counter with hot and old options that make planning meals during the week so simple and easy - especially when someone else does the work! They have a great meat selection, and even imported Italian goods to get a taste of home. Sucks they don't have a parking lot, but if you go off hours, this place is a real gem to shop at! read more

To Brian, the "manager" of Labella: Obviously you are a confused individual, to the point that you did not realize you were at work talking to a customer. To be hired as manager with the ZERO skill set you possess means that you are related to the owner or titled manager at minimum wage. YOU embarrassed yourself at your job, by mistreating a customer in front of other customers. YOU made yourself look like a complete idiot, and I am sure it is not the first nor last time. A manager or an employee does not speak the way you did and certainly does not wave their hand in another person's face. That behavior may be allowed in your community however that disrespectful behavior on the street will get you hurt, so please try it on the wrong person. At best, your mannerisms earned a laugh but I was also embarrassed for you over your classless, unprofessional and mixed up demeanor. You clearly do not know how to interact with the public. As a manager, whether $15 an hour or not, you are supposed to deescalate a situation and not speak badly to, yell at or disrespect any paying customer. Did you forget that you were at work and not on a reality show acting like a diva for ratings. Did you not hear Alissa say she acknowledged she owed me $7, so why did you walk off with the drawer to count it. Then when I walked over to your booth to see what was going on, you are sitting there texting and you slam the door in my face. You are disgusting. But kudos to the training staff at LaBella Marketplace and your mother for that undesirable behavior and personality ... it apparently came from somewhere and was never corrected. LaBella, this is not the first time I have witnessed bad behavior by your employees, however it was the first time I was the victim. You hire ill-mannered children to run an establishment and mistreat your customers? Obviously, it is a free for all there and there are no consequences to any employee who mistreats a customer and that is why it happens repeatedly and that is why after Brian did it, Alissa did the same. I was not a one-time customer. I have spent over $300 plus a month in your store over 10 years which is well over $36,000. YOU WILL NEVER get another penny from me as point forward I choose to give my money to an establishment wherein there is a mutually respectful relationship, not this. And if I could file a police report for being touched by your employee and for her taking my money out of my hand I would because that is what she did. The transaction was finalized. I had my receipt together with MY $70 of change. I was shorted $7. The discrepancy, which was not even a discrepancy because Alissa admitted she gave me the wrong change, was not the $70 so what right did Alissa have to take $70 out of my hand 45 seconds after she gave it to me and then Brian walk away with my other $7 in the drawer. To the customers that shop at LaBella Marketplace I did not wake up in a bad mood. I was totally disrespected and screamed at by Brian and Alissa, PAID employees of LaBella Marketplace. And while I am at it, how many times have you been overcharged because I can tell you that every single time I shopped there I was overcharged $1 - $3 a trip. And let's be reasonable who is going to drive back, hunt for a spot and get annoyed trying to tell the child running the store that they were overcharged. So $1 here and $1 there times 1,000,000 times equates to $1,000,000 of our money. I'm done with your nonsense Labella Marketplace ... the community has been loyal and made you rich and time and time again, your staff disrespects us. To the customers that wish to continue to shop there, please note that if this review is still visible, bottom line is LaBella management condones their employees' behavior and are comfortable with their employee brats mistreating customers. However, buyer beware, you could be next so please make good choices and give your hard-earned money to establishments that deserve it. This occurred Saturday 4-9-22 in the afternoon (last register when you walk out) just in case the name of the cashier girl is not Alissa. read more

Really disappointed with this place. Prices are through the roof but more importantly the food is rotten. Bought mussels most of which were dead. Could have really poisoned my guests, live too far to return them. They should be much more responsible and not sell spoiled product to their customers. That's the last fish product I will ever buy from them. Just terrible. read more

Terrible customer service starting with the manager. I witnessed the most terrible and offensive behavior from Brian towards a customer. I can tell you this, if it were me I would have asked for a refund on the spot. This is NOT the first time he acted this way. To the owners you need to send in someone and have them pretend they are a customer to see what is really going on there. You would be shocked at that way your paid employees are treating the customers. Brian and Elizabeth where the 2 employees. read more

-1* for having overpriced items. Pricing for fresh seafood and some vegs are fair. Their fresh baked goods - bread and such - are very well priced imo. The aisles are much too narrow for my liking - as in if they have promo display or there's a cart on one side, you have just enough space to pass with your cart. There's no minimum on credit cards. People waiting or perusing the cold cut areas were not social distancing. Mostly clean looking supermarket. There were a couple of random shoppers that were angry in general for some reason, I don't know if that's normal in this store or not. read more

I give this store ZERO stars! This is the fourth and final time I'll ever shop there. It's only a matter of time before they get sued or shut down for getting someone deathly ill. Today is Tuesday, I went there on Saturday afternoon. I purchased cold cuts and meat, which ended up in the garbage. I threw out a pound of ground veal that cost me $9.67 because it was rancid. I threw out Shadybrook Farms Turkey breast, date of expiration is Oct. 3rd, out in the garbage today (today's date is 9/28). I never smelled turkey breast that bad before. I nearly vomitted. I threw out a pound of Boar's Head freshly cut chicken breast yesterday, 2 days after purchasing it. I threw out 2 more packages of meat, Bell and Evans chicken cutlets expires tomorrow. I also threw out imported Buffalo Mozzarella half molded. This store should be ashamed of themselves and is a disgrace!!!! The price gauging and not abiding by sale items once at the cash register is the biggest scam that I've ever seen. I called the store, as I don't live nearby and the customer service rep stated that there is a 24 period to return meat and deli items. That's because they are well aware of the spoiled meat and food they are selling. In addition, they have numerous expired items. Avoid this place like you avoid getting Covid!!!! read more

Watch out for stale and spoiled products! Visiting from out of town, spent over $55 at this store. Basket cheese with an expiration date 10 days from the date of my purchase. Spoil, yellow inside, notte milky white. AttempTed to return it next day. Misplaced receipt, so they said they couldn't take it back. I used the same club card I've had for a decade. They said they had no way of checking, the manager is not in. This was after 10 am! The deli guy, Alex, insinuated that I had left it out, unrefrigerated. So much for customer service, trying to humiliate me in front of other customers. PS: When I returned a few hours later, they were able to retrieve a copy of my receipt, No apology from them This is the same store that charges 50 cents PLUS TAX for a bag, This store charges employees for small bottles of water! Miserable Some agency should investigate what happens with the sales tax Supposedly going to NY and not their pockets. read more

Because of poor customer satisfaction, don't believe me 10% of their reviews are 0-1star in 1 thousand now add the 2 star reviews kinda makes you wonder how do they stay in business? With spoiled, outdated foods if that's not enough even with a receipt no refunds, credit, or replacement wait it gets better they have an attitude coupled with rudeness, disrespect and gaslight you! Yes your eyes aren't deceiving you you're reading it right . I've brought them all my friends and family so many customers. Basta!

Was here today to purchase some basic items. The store was well stocked and it was not very busy since I went in the afternoon. However, the cashiers were painfully slow. There were five customers total in line, and 6 open registers. One cashier decided not to take any more customers while he stopped for 2 minutes to have a water break. When it was finally my turn to go up and pay, I asked to buy a plastic bag (since I forgot to bring one) and to my surprise they didn't have any for sale. What kind of a supermarket in this day and age does not have any bags on hand for customers to purchase so they can carry their groceries home? read more

Great food, Italian specialties, everything always fresh... but the guy who runs it, ALEX, is the biggest JERK!!!!!

Be careful here. There seems to be an increase in price trickery here recently. On more than one occasion there was a sale item I bought that scanned at regular price at the register. The Dept of Consumer Affairs may need to be notified if this continues. read more

Price labels are a big problem in this place. So many people standing around at the front of store, they should be working on prices right in front of the store. Making sure everything is properly priced. I tried to buy some little package of kids chalk, there's a whole row it says $2.69. Of course I'm getting to the register, and it rings up four dollars and change. The cashier calls, The I guess he cashier, I tell her they're right here by the register she just ignores me and calls"Caesar" the pretend night manager I'm guessing. I'm guessing he is a pretend manager, because he was very rude. He starts ripping off all the labels by the merchandise, I tell him well it's $2.69, he tells me people move things around. I told him they moved around a whole row? The very unprofessional head cashier, says you want it or not? I asked Cesar. When is his manager going to be in? He says he has no idea!!! Horrible, lazy, and unprofessional staff. So, if you're be shopping there, keep an eye on your screen at the register, you never know where it's going to ring up! read more
