"The fish is always the best here and the prices are more reasonable than some of the other places in town. Very few with this quality though. Extra love for Leon who selected a fresh whole fish for me from the cold storage when there wasn't one at the counter."

"Always and reliably the freshest fruit, vegetables, broad-range of fish, and prepared foods. Their homemade baba ghanoush and hummus are secrets. Yes, not an inexpensive place to shop."

"It’s a convenient location and food quality is good albeit expensive. But I am finally going to write about this one downside- which I’ve experienced multiple times. When you go to citarella who expect high quality good and courteous staff. Not always so in produce dept. The men working in produce are often rude and fight patrons for space while we try to gather our produce from shelves. I realize stocking shelves is important but rudeness is not! They should train produce staff or get new. Room for improvement."

"A Food Lover’s Paradise on the Upper East Side! Citarella Gourmet Market is hands down one of my favorite foodie destinations in NYC. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out. First things first — the Raspberry Boat cookies. Oh. My. Goodness. These little gems are buttery perfection with just the right amount of raspberry jam — a total must-try. Honestly, I could live on those alone. Their cupcakes and cakes? Absolute heaven. Every bite feels like a celebration. Seafood lovers, rejoice! The oysters are always fresh, briny, and delicious — perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself. And let’s talk indulgence — Citarella’s caviar selection is my go-to for a luxurious Sunday brunch treat. They carry a nice variety, so there’s always something special to try. The cherry on top? Their employees know their stuff! Whether you’re pairing wines, picking seafood, or craving the perfect pastry, they’re always helpful and full of great recommendations. If you love gourmet food (or just really good cookies), Citarella is the spot to be. Go once, and you’ll be hooked!"

"Not as fancy as the one in the Hampton. This store is very small and narrow. They are missing the soup area, the coffee area and more. At least the prices are expensive as they are in the Hamptons."
