They have such a wide selection of oils, and I really appreciated that many come with recommended recipes. It makes it so easy to try something new at home. One of my favorite parts was being able to taste the oils before buying. It made the whole experience fun and helped me choose exactly what I wanted. I also couldn't resist picking up a handmade ceramic garlic grater. it's beautiful and made such a perfect gift! The staff are incredibly lovely, friendly, and helpful, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by!

I love this store! Dorothy -- the owner-proprietor -- is a delight! She's very knowledgeable about…read morethe vinegars and oils. She's courteous, welcoming and professional in customer service. But the product really does speak for itself. I've had the lemon balsamic, the fig balsamic, the pomegranate balsamic, the Persian lime olive oil as well as the olive wood smoked oil. They were all dynamite!! Chicken marinated in the fig balsamic will change your taste buds! The store is cute, clean, well-lit and you can sample any product you like. Dorothy will provide you a sample of as many products as you ask for (I know from experience lol). I cannot recommend this store enough for your culinary needs. Any one of the products here makes a fantastic holiday gift for the home cook in your life!!

Hit up Mi Scuzi for the first time since they moved to the mall for my partners birthday dinner…read more We got an incredible little Tuscan loaf of bread with two very good spreads. An artichoke and cheese spread which was tasty, cheesey, warm and near perfect. As well as a fig mascarpone spread that might be worth more than gold per ounce. Sweet and creamy. So fricken good. I went with the tour of Sorrento All three sauces were distinctly varied and all three very much to my liking The basil Alfredo sauce being my personal favorite. Both red sauces had a level of heat that were perfect for the sampler I received. Ravioli Arancini And the stuffed pepper were all near perfect. Our bartender was attentive, polite, and competent. If I have criticisms- It's busy. It's Christmas time - at the mall. So I get it. But the tables here are more on top of each other and the bar area then they were at the old location. I think less clunky chairs would make it feel a bit more light, airy, open and less crowded. The other thing I would like to see a bit different is how reservations work. We walked in at 6:00 and the hostess asked if we had a reservation We did not She acted like -oh this might be terrible- we might not have a seat for you- so you think you can sit at the bar? Actually we prefer to sit at the bar - Better for people watching and hearing all the gossip - so it was not an issue for us at all. The issue is we sat at the bar for an hour... and all around us tables sat empty. One of the things I enjoyed about going out to eat in Europe is when you walked in- they would say - we can seat you- but we will need that table by X time. To get it ready for the next reservation. They had us sat and beveraged in 3 minutes. Fat, happy, and ready for bed less than an hour after walking in the door. The experience was very very good in my opinion. A bit pricey 120 for 1 glass of wine, 2 beers, an app, and 2 right sized portions of excellent food and tip - but less than you'd spend in most other cities. It's efficient and very very good. A bit more finesse and it would be incredible. And sorry - I start eating and then remember - oh I'm a famous food critic- I should take a picture of this before it's gone... And I'm a terrible photographer for a decent artist.

We always wanted to try this traditional old school Italian restaurant when in Erie, but it was…read morefully booked on a Saturday last Aug when we attempted. It's located in Millcreek Mall & you can enter from mall parking lot or from inside mall itself. Our server was friendly & efficient with nice recommendations. I loved my pasta carbonara & our guest loved her spaghetti & meatballs (two HUGE meatballs). They have a nice happy hour & I had a French martini mixed well. We loved the zucchini blossom appetizer. The large wedge salad was good. And the garlic knot bread with shaved Parmesan is a nice touch, we got an extra basket. My husband & other male guest had the linguini & clams and were not as pleased. One said it was just ok, broth weak & unflavorful and the other guest gave it a 3/10 saying clams were overcooked & chewy. Desserts were good, we had pistachio gelato and strawberry shortcake. We would return & try again if in the area.

Again, it's fine. Overall, it does the job if you're looking for carbs.

I enjoyed the sauce that came with the meal as well - it went well with the lamb as well as the sirloin beef. The kebsa rice is good and they give you a whole lot of it which is appreciated.

But went here a few times a couple years back and every time I've been here, I've always been impressed with the food and their service. The salmon was great. As good as it looks. I've actually preferred other dishes I've had here previously. But this salmon is excellent. Will be back. Hopefully sooner than later.

Though small inside, the ambiance is modern and bright - completely different and refreshing for Erie! We were able to grab a seat at the bar, and I wish I had taken a photo of the drink menu to share! They had a page of nice looking cocktails, and I ended up with the gin based cocktail. It packed a punch and was tasty! My friend ordered a drink that appeared to be a take on an old fashioned, and we both enjoyed our drinks. We also decided to give the lobster croquetas a try, and these were excellent! The roasted red pepper sauce they came on really enhanced the dish, and I'd definitely order these again. They have a nice menu for sharing small snacks. Our bartender was attentive and the service was relaxed. I'd love to return for more food and drinks!

Their selection of Polish and Italian sausages is impressive and people flock there to buy them. We just had New York strip steaks from Urbaniak's for dinner and they were the best.

Erie is lucky to have such a quality butcher shop where everything is fresh.

The smoked chicken breast is absolutely delicious and the perfect meat for a cracker. Their smoked salmon is legit and I saw that as a native of Seattle who is VERY pick about his salmon. And their deli emats00well, if you associated delis with processed meats as I do--forget about it. These deli meats are truly slices fresh meats. Beyond fresh and local being a better choice to support your local community, it is also VASTLY healthier because it is not packed with sodium nd preservatives. So if you prefer a lower sodium diet like me, you can actually have deli meat again! (Try the ox tail--delicious tender and lightly salted but don't forget the free Au jus if you are a big salt fan). Prices: shocking, I would have to say on par or in the case of some of their cheeses BETTER priced than the grocery stores. So not, high quality and healthier options do not have to mean higher prices. OK, So the meats are delicious, the products are locally made and fresh and the prices are good. So what is the catch? Does the Service suck? No, not it does not. I have always received friendly service and timely. If you come in the morning, it can get very busy so remember to grab a number and try not to be rude or demanding. They are kind and courteous but no one likes a noisy jack ass. Overall, from my personal perspective, if you are buying meats for the grill, for your sandwiches or just as a tasty snack, you cannot go wrong with Urbaniaks.
