DiGregorio’s Market

One of the best Italian Markets in all of St. Louis. The best Italian sausage, cheeses and olives ever. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful! Nice to see the owners of a business talk with the customers…
Try it, you’ll like it…

Went there once. The Balocco wafers is a winner! The ice cream is not bad too. There are so many sauces to choose from. So happy.

Love it! It’s real. A bit run down in a hipster Williamsburg way. Nice Italian wine selection. Friendly staff.

After a great birthday lunch at Cunetto’s, my girlfriend and I came here to get staples.
I got a pound of Miller ham, a pound of Genevos salami, frozen Mama’s tomato sauce and frozen Alfredo sauce.
Perfect food.

As a ny
Ew Yorker and an Italian. This shop was ok. The staff very nice. Food was good. I just expected more

This is a wonderful Italian grocery store in the heart of the Hill. Its located on Marconi just south of St Ambrose Church.
I just came to browse before going to happy hour at Steve’s hot dogs on Friday. I ended up purchasing some pastas, sauce, and meatballs for dinner (I can report that they were all delicious. We ate them last night).
There is a great selection of frozen raviolis and tortellini in all sorts of flavors from cheese, beef, mushroom and spinach, lobster, and much more.
There is also a full deli with meats and cheeses as well as a decent alcohol selection.
The people seemed friendly.
This place has a similar selection as Vivianos down on Shaw. I like them both. The prices are higher than you will find at a big box grocery but there are some things here you won’t find beyond the Hill.
Its worth checking out. The Hill is a great place to spend a few hour walking the streets and stopping in the different stores and restaurants.

I was very impressed by this Italian grocery store. Its the first Italian grocery store in St Louis and biggest I’ve been to and I understand its even pretty good compared to others on the hill. Espresso, pizza pans, spumoni, every kind of pasta, provel and other meats and cheeses, bocci ball sets, grappa and wine/​liquors, and souvenirs… this place has everything. I’ve been to many Asian markets before and maybe I just appreciated how delicious I knew these more familiar items to be. They even sell online and ship out of state. I understand not everything is the lowest price available but part of it is supporting the local market and stocking items hard to come by elsewhere. I was thoroughly pleased with my visit and would highly recommend it as a fun stop on the hill.
Disclaimer: my whole family enjoys grocery shopping and I wouldn’t recommend Lavazza espresso. I’ll have to try their house espresso sometime.

I soooo wanna like this place. It would be such a fun place to shop on a regular basis, and they’ve got the materials of a very classy joint.
The storemade sauce is especially good. (In general, I never buy tomato sauce in a jar, but their’s is actual usable and even tasty.) The meat counter also has some excellent stuff.
Quality control, however, is a big issue!
Amici! Check your shelves, smell your salami. Don’t be givin’ me and la famiglia no old stuff (yonder past the due date), or I won’t be Unilocaling nice with you at all next time…

Greatest market on The Hill! The place is filled with authentic Italian ingredients and meats. We frequent here for Pomi (Italian strained tomatoes), freshly grated cheeses and hot salciccia. All are key components of my husband’s homemade marinara sauce that has been passed down for generations. So when we visit this place, I know I am soon in for the best meal of my life!
They have a large selection of pasta, spices and olive oils as well. For the spices, they come in large bottles and are reasonably priced. We have also purchased their frozen pizza dough to make homemade pizzas and it is fabulous. By far the best frozen pizza dough in St. Louis. Also, they carry Scamorza which is the PERFECT cheese for a pizza.
Another great thing about this place, the wine selection! This is one of the few places in St. Louis that sells dry Lambrusco. Don’t know what Lambrusco is? Imagine red wine champagne. It is a little less bubbly than champagne but it is so refreshing during the summer months. MMMMMM, so good!
Last but not least, the check out lady is a sweet Italian woman who doesn’t say much but just fits the bill. She is the perfect person to round out your experience at this quaint Italian market.

DiGregorio’s Market is another quality family owned Italian market. If you are in the mood for making a high quality Italian dinner without a lot of hassle, you should stop by and get some quality pre-​made pasta, sauce, and bread all you need to do is heat it all up and you are set, just don’t let anyone on that you didn’t make it yourself. Quality, local products are all showcased here at reasonable prices. This is another must try.

I love this market! They have a great deli counter. They have the best mortadella on the Hill. I often pick up Italian liquors, olive oil, peppers, olives, and tortellini.
I just wish the staff was more personable.

DiGregorio’s specializes in high quality Italian grocer products. Everything from breads (although the supply was limited at 3pm), a deli counter, high quality pasta, and cooking utensils and tools. I found a couple of very good dried squid ink pastas which I love. Oh… and Steven B… I got the white anchovies. Delicious! Good punch with a hint of smokey flavor.
If you’re going to prepare a quality Italian meal, give them a try.

This is the only place I know of where I can get finely ground semolina flour, which allows you to make pasta dough a lot more easily.
That’s all I have to add to Kat V’s enthusiastic review.

Momma Mia! I’ve found my Italian market on The Hill.
How have I missed this amazing little market? I go to Bertarelli’s and Amighetti’s and I yet I have strolled right on by DiGregorio’s without taking note. What was wrong with me? I am so glad that I finally ventured inside to experience this wonderland of Italian delights.
I was mesmerized by the large selection of oil olive oils and different vinegars. Not to mention the large container of Virgin Olive Oil that you can buy a bottle and get refills at a reduced price. The pasta aisle was filled with more fettuccine noodles then I knew existed and the variety of tomatoes and prepared sauces were endless as well.
The deli counter seemed to have more then my local Schnucks, and they have the most reasonable prices on veal chops in town. I got a giggle out of a sign they have taped to their meat counter which states, «We will be happy to serve you when you are done with your phone call.» Love it!
What I loved more was what I noticed in the case behind the sign. I discovered that they have white anchovies. I’ve been having a love affair with white anchovies ever since they were introduced to me at The Good Pie. Oh, the flavor they add to a Caesar Salad or hand tossed pizza pie.
They’ve also got kitchen gadgets, booze and Italian candy. The customer service was as if you were family. When we asked questions, they’d walk with us to show the item and make sure there were no more questions. Some high end retailers should take lessons.
I have my Mexican grocer down on Cherokee and now I have my Italian grocer on The Hill. This fat boy could not be happier.

In my opinion, DiGregorio’s is the best market on The Hill due to the fact that it’s the largest and has the most variety. Don’t believe me? Here’s just what I can remember off the top of my head from my last visit:
* A full deli case of meats and cheeses
* Frozen STL-​style pizzas
* Frozen homemade pasta sauces
* Frozen raviolis of every flavor under the sun (roasted garlic and spinach, chicken marsala, seafood — just to name a few)
* Handmade, never-​been-​frozen salsiccia
* Olives!
* Pasta tools
* Italia clothing for baby to adult
* Fairly large wine selection
* Ceramic serving dishes
Are you getting my drift here? This is the closest you’ll get to a one-​stop shop on The Hill. Just hit DiGregorio’s and a bakery and you’re ready to mangia!

This is really a 4.5 star rating. It’d be a 5 star if they’d segregate non-​Italians and make them stand in their own line or let those of us born on the Hill cut in line at least…;-)
Seriously though, DiGregorio’s, like Viviano’s is a great little Italian market. I go to either for certain items because some things are much cheaper at one or the other. They have wonderful, fresh ground beef and it’s normally priced well below what you’d pay at Schnuck’s. The other meats and cheeses are outstanding as well… crazy good.

They have fresh blood orange juice here! For the past several months, I was looking in every local corner for fresh blood orange juice that wasn’t tart. This place has it! For the price, it was well worth it! Friendly employees, & the prices weren’t too bad. FYI, the salsiccia has romano cheese. Being lactose-​intolerant, I didn’t realize this until I read the ingredients after I got my 1 lb of salsiccia in the store. Nevertheless, they took it back from me without complaint. They have fresh pasta, but it’s frozen which is okay by me. Tiny store, but lots & lots of items! The cookies aren’t made with real butter, which is kind of hard to find. And they are super delish!

LOVE this market. Always worth a stop to get some Italian imports and pantry items — including meats, cheeses, olive oil, you name it.
I always stop here — even when I don’t need anything. And sometimes (but rarely) I don’t even buy anything, and that seems just find with the proprietors, too!
Then again, it’s a bit like walking into Target and ‘not buying anything’ (only about 4e23 times better), so most times, SOMETHING has found its way into the bag.
If you haven’t been — GO! :)

I’m not Italian, but was raised by a 1^st-​Generation Sicilian. I’d like to think that I know my way around an Italian market.
DiGregorio’s is the best Italian store in St. Louis, nestled just a few short blocks away from the ‘main’ attractions on the Hill. I end up on the Hill just to go to this place, actually.
This is the place to get pasta, cookies, bread, first-​rate cured meats and cheeses, ‘fun food’ like cannelloni, pre-​made marinara, and wine. I refuse to buy olive oil at a conventional grocery store – DiGregorio’s has a great selection with awesome prices. They sell the cheapest pine nuts in town (inconsequential…until you see that they’re $ 8 at Schnucks), and it’s always fun to succumb to an impulse buy or three at the counter – limoncello? Neapolitan playing cards? ‘Italia’ bumper stickers?
They play to the local market, as they should, selling thin pizza crusts and Provel. The store is clean, easy to get around even when it’s pretty crowded, and the ladies at the checkout counter are pretty friendly.
DiGregorio’s is definitely worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood. Your first trip won’t be your last.

I’m a big fan of Italian culture and cooking, and of all the places to get your Italian imports, this is the place, IMHO. There are other places, like Viviano’s down the street, but in my experience, you’ll have a better shopping experience here. Very clean and well organized and the staff very helpful.
Saturday it’s very busy here, so bring some extra patience with you if you insist on shopping here on weekends.
