This festival of Italian food has one all-pervading moto: Mangia bene, which simply means eat good!
And if you're at Uncle Giuseppi's, you're eating good from the moment you walk into one of its capacious Italian supermarkets. Yes, we did say supermarkets, because Giuseppi's stores now encompass up to 55,000 square feet and they are filled with every sumptuous Italian dish, delicacy and dolcé you could possibly think of and you'll be sampling the food as soon as you arrive.
In 2001, Giuseppi's opened in East Meadow, Long Island, NY, and they've been growing ever since. Now, 25 years later, they have a dozen stores (known as Marketplaces) with several more on the way. And here's the most intriguing part: scuttlebutt has it that Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace may have plans to open in the Cherry Hill area, which would be the company's first foray into the South Jersey/Philadelphia region.
Well, we're so excited by all this that we took a ride up to the Giusepp'is location nearest us in Tinton Falls, NJ and were absolutely delighted with what we found. In fact, in every department and every aspect of the store, Uncle Giuseppi's exceeded our expectations -- and we're very discriminating customers.
The shopping experience at Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace is designed to mirror the way our grandparents used to shop—but on a much bigger scale, of course. Giuseppi's makes many of their products from scratch—their own pasta, mozzarella, lasagna, sausage, baked goods, pastries, and lots more. And the store is divided into shops where you can watch the food being prepared. Then, you can purchase a prepared food item, take it home, heat it up and—dinner's ready! Plus, Giuseppi's has combined this with a full-service supermarket to give you a total food shopping experience at the best value, where you can buy all of your weekly groceries at competitive prices.
And Giuseppi's staff is large, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The whole idea is that food shopping should be a pleasant experience.
Enjoy these photos from our visit and take a look at the marvelous culinary creations in Giuseppi's various departments including pastas, cheeses, pizza, breads, pastries, sandwiches
and prepared foods. The place is gastronomic heaven. Pray that it's headed our way!
