Uncle Giuseppe's is just around the corner from my house. So when I don't want to prepare dinner or I'd like a treat, I go here. I often get prepared dishes like the teriyaki salmon or lasagna. Their salads are huge, varied, fresh and good value. Their pizza can be bought by the slice and the pizza dudes are always friendly and helpful. I was shocked one day when I realized that there was a real life Italian man with a microphone singing while we shopped! Adorable! Overall the prices are a little spendy for my budget, but it certainly makes for a nice treat. Recommend read more

To be honest this was my first time here ,after hearing how great this place was, I was told the produce was excellent. My first opinion was this place has everything and it's all quality,right on down to the Charlotte Russe cakes. The people were very friendly and the made food looked delicious . Prices were a little steeper than most but you get what u pay for and everything I got was good...EXCEPT the produce. I didn't have time to go through individual items so I bought a few bags of different items. One being Lemons I make lemon water daily and was disappointed when I opened the bag to clean them and they looked pretty bleak..one was actually rotted. So I guess the jury is still out Stay tuned read more

Been pizza here every week for the last couple years. This Friday I call at 5:30 asked for 2 Well Done, they say a little over an hour. I arrive at 6:45. Get my pizza at 7:15 ask if it's well done they said too busy can't leave it in an extra minute. So I take my undercooked pizza home. The bottom box the pizza has a home in it. You don't think they saw the home when they were slicing it. Seriously guys I show up every week and this is what I get. I tried to be understanding that the pizza couldn't be well done but it's really undercooked. And to give any customer a pizza with a hole in it is shameful. You know you saw the home when you were slicing it. Why would you give it to a customer. And it was cold. Definitively not the pizzas they were pulling from the oven. This had been sitting around. I waited over hour after placing the order to leave for the store. Then another 40 minutes in the store and this is what they served me. So disappointed in you guys. This is really bad service. Really BAD and way undercooked pizza. read more

Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace - Undercooked is an understatement. - Grocery Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

3.5: While I'm not one of the many true lovers of Uncle Giuseppe's, it's not a bad spot for specialty Italian items. Walk into the store and all that can be said is "it's a lot": colorful and filled with decorations and products. The bakery, prepared foods and produce areas in particular have a good selection of items. The hot bar was a bit sparse on a Saturday afternoon but I have enjoyed their eggplant parm, meatballs and salad. I do also like the idea of their selection of homemade pasta. Their bakery has a lot of things from muffins to pies and cakes; I'm personally not the biggest fan of dry cookies and cannoli type items but they are busy for sure. They also have regular grocery store items but usually not great deals. I see this not as a regular shopping experiment but as an "every once in awhile if I want something they have" type thing. I also dread coming here because of the parking lot; a contributing factor is that when I do think of coming it's at a busy time and the lot is right off of 17N. It's next to a 24 hour fitness and Houlihans and Chik-fil-a. read more

If Stew Leonard had an affair with Sofia Loren the results would be Uncle Giuseppe's. You have to see it for yourself and indulge in the cornucopia of food this place has. Chocolate counter as soon as you walk in, great marketing because no kids will let their parents walk by it without getting something. Pizza, prepared hot food to go meals fresh mozzarella section, fresh pasta sauce's seafood and meats this place is designed so you can't leave without spending under $75.00. You just have to look up hundreds of TikToks about the locations instead of taking my word. We will be back and spend more time selecting niche items not seen elsewhere. read more

We left here underwhelmed yesterday, after always having an excellent experience with this store. This location was always a go-to for us for special ingredients, wonderful prepared foods, and other items you don't normally see elsewhere. Store remains clean and is certainly a unique place to shop. Staff are nice enough. Today we stopped in for some prepared foods. We purchased crab stuffed flounder and fried clams. We got it home, cooked it, and were shocked that the flounder was FILLED with bones. I've never had a more poorly-prepared piece of fish. We spent dinner time spitting out bones and picking them out of the filet on our plates. For the prices we pay here, this was unacceptable. Incredibly disappointing. I'm not interested in returning after this. read more

It's a sea of food as far as the eye can see. As you walk in the door for the first time, it may be hard to figure out where to turn as each isle provides a new adventure of offerings. If you take a left, you can head to the prepared food section that spans almost the entirety of the store. There is even a pizza corner with specialty pizzas ready hot and fresh. The prepared food counter will have you going up and down the display case finding new things you didn't know existed, like 5 different types of rice balls. There is a large seafood section, bread section, coffee section, and that is before you even get to the groceries. This market is huge, and it has everything you need. Even a small gelato stand on the way out. read more

Bought the chicken francaise meatballs. Extremely dry. They did not give me francaise sauce to make them palatable

First time at this establishment and I was in Italian heaven so much that I went back lol. What a store and the food was delicious. I can now see why my family has spoken about this establishment for so long . It definitely was overwhelming at first because there was such a variety and so many options. Although It's a bit pricey, but worth it. Place is a big size, staff were very friendly. And I'll admit I had fun trying the cheese samples around the store haha. You won't be disappointed and if you love an Italian food like me then this is the place to go. If you're in the area, definitely check it out.! read more

After a long day of working we were to tired to go anywhere & stopped at Uncle G's for some yummy grab & go. 1st time getting the sushi & focaccia bread. We also grabbed the balsamic grilled chicken salad! All fresh & yummy! read more

Still considered one of the top 5 gourmet markets in Bergen County and voted 2024 Best of Bergen for best carryout as well as best cheese shop, my partner and I made a return visit to this establishment today for some grocery shopping. Located in Ramsey off of Route 17 North, Uncle Giuseppe is huge with a slight touch of Italy, featuring a deli, pizzeria, bakery, and several departments, including meat, produce, seafood, gourmet cheese, and a nice section for gluten-free. They also have a huge prepared food section for takeout, a hot bar, a gelato station, a coffee bar, and a pasta room where customers can see fresh pasta being made. The prices might not be the most affordable, but it's very clean and organized. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. But the best part is the singer who serenades you while shopping. We continue to recommend it. read more

Wonderful store, pasta sauces are great, great deli dept, prepared foods are perfect for a quick dinner, but my opinion way over priced, I bought 4 meatballs it cost me 18.00. I dont think the scale is calibrated correct, if so the quality doesn't oversee the price read more

I already loved this store, but this past Thursday, they genuinely impressed me (again). The staff here showed the kind of real, human customer service you can't fake. I had an issue with the app, and every single person I interacted with stepped in immediately... not defensively, not with attitude, just with actual care and problem-solving. The manager came over without me even asking, listened, and treated the situation like it mattered. You could tell this wasn't scripted "corporate empathy." These were people who clearly take pride in where they work and how customers are treated. Uncle Giuseppe's has always had great products, (and the food is AhhhMazing!), but today the people made it stand out even more. Ramsey is lucky to have a store with staff like this. Thank you for the early Christmas gift. I will never forget it! read more

There are appropriate techniques and traditions that should never be compromised. I requested a half pound of Culatta prosciutto. It was not spread out on sheets. It was stacked like ham. I had presence of mind to look at it first. I left it behind. Salpino's in Deer Park is now my go-to. read more

Came in looking for dessert but ibstead of dessert we bought fresh pasta sheets to make lasagna. We never try it. When my wife got home she realized it was a lot and that. We end up making a sausage and eggplant lasagna which was amazing and a few days later we had tagliatelle with shrimp and vegetables which was also delicious! We will definitely check this market again. read more

My first time at Uncle G's was an experience like no other, after the overwhelming array of food options made my stomach growl, as we were checking out we were greeted by the wonderful Neil Dankman who had the voice of an angel and the welcoming embrace of a savior. After chatting up with him I would come back simply for this experience again. read more

First time here. Heard so Much Gooooood stuff about this place. Amazing. Fresh hot food and you will not leave with an empty cart. From soups to spaghettis to the cheeses. Omg(osh) must stop here... read more

Absolutely TERRIBLE service today. I went in to buy a 50th birthday on a mini cake and the writing was so horribly done that my mom cried about the cake. It looks like a 4 year old wrote out this message. The worst part is that the worker had taped up all sides of the cake to cover it up and she did not say anything read more

Uncle Giuseppe's in Ramsey instantly brings me back to my Italian grandmother's house--the smells, the sounds, the food--it's all there. Walking through the doors feels like stepping into Sunday dinner at Nonna's, where something was always simmering on the stove and no one left hungry. The fresh bread, the homemade sauce, the trays of baked pasta--it's nostalgic in the best way. The hot bar is incredible. Their chicken parm, sausage and peppers, and eggplant rollatini taste like they came straight out of my grandmother's kitchen. The fresh mozzarella is soft and warm, and their prosciutto bread is so good it barely makes it to the car. The bakery is packed with Italian classics--freshly filled cannoli, tiramisu, rainbow cookies--and everything has that homemade feel. Yeah, it's a little more expensive than your average grocery store, but you're paying for quality and authenticity. This isn't a place I shop at every week, but when I want to treat myself or bring something special to the table, Uncle Giuseppe's is my go-to. It's more than a supermarket--it's a trip down memory lane with a side of fresh pasta. read more

Remember Crazy Eddie??? The prices are insane $14.99/lb for squid that looked like it was dead for a week. Wegmans $ 12.99 as fresh as can be Their cheeses are ALL pre-packaged. I'll go to Astoria & get Feta cut in front of me with brine included I'll go to the bronx for my Italian bread made that day. fresh sausage The best veal. They should rename their N.E. clam chowder to potato chowder I'm ONE & DONE read more

There are several big supermarkets near my house but we still make regular trips to Uncle G's, because they offer the BEST and largest variety of every category on our shopping list: gourmet coffee, cooking oil (olive and otherwise), pasta (fresh and boxed), sauces, cheeses, antipasto, etc. Their fresh produce section is gorgeously laid out, everything looks amazingly delectable, and one just wants to take it all home! I always grab their plump, juicy endives, beautifully bulbous fennel anise and fragrant, leafy basil. There is a much higher concentration and bigger selection of products imported from Italy, things that you won't find in other supermarkets. This place satisfies all kinds of needs: you can either get a cartful of ingredients to take home and cook, or get a nice meal from their hot bar, or choose lunch stuff from their deli, or just sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee and some pastries. Often live singing accompanies your browsing. Shopping at other supermarkets is a chore, whereas shopping at Uncle G's feels like a vacation - there is so much more to see, to smell, to wonder at, to read the labels of, to be inspired about what to cook ... With such a nice environment, no wonder their staff always look happy and ready to help you :-) read more

This is a gigantic store, so you will need to find which items stand out to you. The eggplant parmesan is outstanding, as is the chicken franchese. read more

The Ramsey store seems to be going down hill. Today we had to return colossal shrimp for the seconded time in a few months. it irks me that we pay top dollar for the shrimp which should have never been sold. We brought them back after an hour after purchasing them and the customer account person agreed they smelt so vile and mentioned the fish manager was off. So you have inexperienced people running a department? It will be a very long time before we patronize the store again! read more

Came across this place via recommendation while on vacation. It reminded me of a casual Eataly but without the pretentiousness. Since it was my first time, entering the store felt overwhelming due to massive selection and mass size. Not necessarily a bad thing. It was heavily stocked with delightful products. I went with a group. We didn't know where to begin Did we want to eat first, shop first....? We decided to split up and try to meet up later to grab lunch after shopping. I noticed everywhere I looked there were so many little nonnas with shopping carts in tow. You definitely have to make way for the nonnas. You could go nuts here. There was nothing lacking in product. They had everything you could imagine and more. Whole departments. Prices were on the high end but I imagine it requires great expense to maintain such a place. It is the size of Costco but only for food. Once we paid for our groceries we grabbed 2 slices each of several pizza options ( like I stated, the choices are overwhelming) and the pizza was incredible. So delicious and finished off with pinolia cookies. I wish for future expansion of Uncle Giuseppes closer to home. They have a great niche. read more

One of new favorite go to spots for speciality groceries! Parking here is chaotic during any holiday or the lunch rush so plan your trip accordingly. Staff here are fantastic and beyond helpful. There are so many great options here no matter what you're looking for. Homemade bread, an entire bakery, meats, pizza, sushi, cheese, desserts, and home made pastas. They also have a great options and deals during lunch time. I've gotten their salads, hot bar, sushi, pizza, you name it they have it. My personal favorite is they have a full coffee bar way better than Starbucks or any local coffee chain in the area. read more

Amazing place with fabulous gift baskets! Received a gift basket with tons of goodies including pasta, salt, oil condiments and much more. Presented very nicely and included all of Uncle Giuseppe's own products. Can't wait to dig in! read more

I had to add a star to leave this review. Or I wouldn't have even added a star. Tried to order A. chop salad instead. Got the nastiest, woman that you could ever imagine. The manager said. Well I can't help that. She's nasty with everyone. That's just the way she speaks. And I said, oh, is that the way you run a business? She's nasty, so people have to deal with it? Quality has gotten awful. Along with customer service. Terrible!! read more

There is such a wide, diverse amount of Italian foods available. Fresh-made candy, pizza, baked goods, coffee, and cheeses. There's an amazing salad bar and tons of different store made salads. There's deli offers tons of meats and prepped foods. read more

I stopped by to indulge in some Thanksgiving fixings yesterday. I picked up turkey with gravy. Cornbread and cranberry stuffing, acorn squash, fall frittata, and butternut squash. And a lobster shrimp roll. Okay, yes, it was expensive. I am getting 4 meals out of it though. So my money did stretch. Even leftover, reheat in microwave was really good and moist. It was closing time when I got there and the staff couldn't be nicer. I noticed some background music playing in the short time I was there. Not like regular grocery store. It was really nice and the manager was so pleasant. read more

If you are Italian or just love good food and a fantastic selection you must experience this establishment I cannot call it a grocery store because it is so much more. From homemade mozzarella, sauce and pastas to sandwiches to so many dish's that are prepared and ready to serve it is amazing. The bakery, coffee counter and sushi are to die for. Being Italian it was like I died and went to heaven. My wife will not take me again because I wanted to tour each aisle read more

Totally screwed on a DoorDash delivery. Their estimated price doubled without notification. After delivery, never again. Nor have I ever seen this on any other establishment on DoorDash.. read more

Great, varied selection. The fruit and vegetables are excellent. The staff are helpful and hardworking. The isles are nice and wide and the parking lot is well maintained. The prices are higher than other grocery stores, but reasonable given the quality. read more

What a great shopping experience. This isn't Stu Leonard's or Wegman's. Uncle Giuseppe's own products, as well as those of their vendors, are excellent. The butcher.... the bakery... the fish market, this place has it all. INCLUDING a man strolling around singing oldies. What other market offers you blackened shrimp, veal parmigiana AND a strolling minstrel? The prices are higher but about what you'd expect to pay at a niche grocery. read more

Usually really love this place but the last couple trips there, the staff has been rude and not knowledgeable at all. Tonight we encountered ratchet Ginger at the checkout whom was so mean to my kids and us. She was upset I wanted to put back a few items I no longer wanted and that my kids threw in the cart. She then asked a supervisor whom was young for help and he said "what do you want now I'm trying to leave"? I will never come back to this store. read more

Got the ready made soup and pasta! It is so good! Would say restaurant quality! The penne all's vodka and tomatoes soup both so good. Portions are great for the price. Our dinner for 1 was enough for me and the husband. I got my order via Instacart delivery so I can't comment on the store or service, but definitely recommend the ready made foods there! read more

If you don't know about uncle Giuseppe's you clearly are missing out. This is a one stop shop for all this Italian and good eats! The options are truly endless. The deli is probably one of my favorite aspects of this place. The homemade mozzarella is made in front of you and is warm when you pick it up fresh. Don't worry this is normal and DELICIOUS! They have a large deli counter that features plenty of imported items and endless options of prepared food if you are looking for something quick. The bakery is also a great spot for cookies, cakes and homemade desserts. We have ordered cakes here for a number of occasions and it's is always fresh and flavorful. The whole store features options for everyone, from the novice cook that wants to put together a nice spread of prepared options to the advance chef that wants to design their own antipasto. This is a standard grocery store as well and carries your typical market items, milk, household products, etc. in my opinion you're not going here for this stuff. It's convenient if you're there to pick these up but it's going to cost quite a bit more than other grocery store options. Overall, would definitely recommend for some quality eats! read more
