There also was delicious roasted potatoes and saute string beans. Did I say delicious...you bet! The corn bread was top of the line. I had to have seconds and held back going for thirds. Pete caught me going for seconds on the roasted potatoes and made sure I got the crispy ones I asked for! I would highly recommend this caterer! He earned a 5 star review from this girl! I am planning on having my own pig roast event this summer. Thanks Pete the butcher! Marjie

Welcome to the great stuffed shrimp taste-off of 2021!!…read more In search of the best stuffed shrimp in the area to serve on Christmas Eve, I posted on various Facebook pages to solicit recommendations. Of course, I can't just trust strangers on Facebook, so we did what any self respecting Yelpers would do...we did a trial run of five spots over a two day period, ordering 4 stuffed shrimp from each. We sampled them plain, with lemon, butter, and cocktail sauce, critiquing the size, quality of the shrimp, taste and quality of the stuffing, and overall value for the price. With, of course, photos of both the raw starting point and the cooked final product. As Public Market received the most accolades in my surveys, it was our first stop. I had not been there before, it's a cute Italian market with a good selection of stuff. There is no signage for the stuffed shrimp, and they aren't in the case. So I guess it's one of those...if you know, you know. Otherwise, no shrimp for you! I audibly gasped when the woman handed me a plastic container with 4 shrimp and $32 and change noted on top. Was it upside down? Were my glasses dirty? No...at $26.99/lb, these bad boys rang in at $8+ each, the most expensive by far in the taste-off. They also topped the charts in cooking time, needing nearly 40 minutes to cook at 375. Most others were in the 25 minute range at 350. But just look at them - they're beautiful. I so wanted to love them! Unfortunately, the stuffing wasn't appetizing to me. It had chunks of what I think were fresh celery and onion, that remained crunchy even after baking for 40 minutes. It wasn't a texture I appreciated, and the stuffing was otherwise pretty bland. Better with lemon, even better dipped in butter, but for the price, they should shine alone. Hubby was hoping for something more like the ritz cracker type of stuffing, so he was also disappointed. Public Market came in at #2 out of 5 in the great shrimp taste-off of 2021. While I wasn't thrilled about the price or the taste of the stuffing, there's no arguing that the shrimp had a commanding presence, were fresh, perfectly cleaned, and tasty. I knew if we ordered these I'd be broke and figuring out how to amp up the seasoning at home, but my guests would have been visually impressed. And it seems like so many others love these shrimp, so maybe it's just an us problem. I will go back to Public Market to try other things, as the service was friendly and the quality of their ingredients to be top notch.

Almost a little scary lol, but very aesthetically pleasing! Stopped in to grab some quick items for lunch the next day and since it was the first time in, we decided to walk around and get a good feel of the store. The desserts counter is absolutely beautiful. We got their 3 for $12 option and my favorite had to be the cannoli tart. Love to see that they make so many things in house and I will definitely be back. The service was super friendly and we got to sit in their table area and do a dessert taste test, which was fun.

I finally got to venture to this new grocery store establishment in Wethersfield, CT that resembles…read morea lot like a Whole Foods. I landed this deal as it was Saturday when I went in. I receive their ads as I signed up when the store opened online. I've been hearing about the Saturday & Sunday $5 off Big Meal. Well let me tell you I got all of this for a total of $20. It's the greatest deal going out there. I was told by the workers there that every Wednesday they change up their specials and then by the weekend they offer $5 off (Sat & Sun). You choice a protein -either chicken or shrimp, a Rao's pasta, sauce (pesto, Alfredo or creamy vodka which I choose, - vegetable (green beans to steam) and a make it yourself cannoli for dessert. I definitely walk in on the perfect night and 1/2 hour before they closed at 9 pm. Give it a try as you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to make my dinner special and all of it looks so fresh.

In regards to value, the prices blow everyone away, and you can get some fantastic items I've never seen anywhere else. I'm almost reluctant to share this gem, wanting to keep it all to myself, but it's just too good not to pass on.

My mom walked in one day and spoke to the owner as she was the sweetest lady ever and super nice. My mom talked about how she immigrated and how she's been looking for a local store like this to feed her sweet tooth! (European delights and sides/snacks for when having tea/coffee) from that day on we have been considered regulars. My mom introduced my dad, then they showed me the ropes, etc. we have witnessed the change of ownership from the previous owner to the apprentice and the service has stayed just as great, nothing less expected from the amazing team. Anyways, 100/10 would recommend always as they always helps us and are always doing it with a smile.

Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more I preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stew Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?
