Caraluzzi’s Georgetown Market

Wow! I love this store! Great feel, helpful staff and fresh products!

Great family owned store with high quality products! on top of that they support local laws as well as our 2^nd amendment rights and don’t cave into pressure from a small group of people with nothing better to do than trample our rights. Gun Free Zones only making you a soft target. i will not go out of my way to shop here when i am in the area!

Great place to shop with fantastic staff and superior quality. Additionally, I commend you for not being a «Gun Free Zone» that criminals could care less about and respectfully encouraging law abiding citizens to uphold their 2^nd amendment rights.

Great place and hats off for allowing open carry. Keeping us safe! Don’t let the crazies tell you any different!

I have shopped at Caraluzzi’s for YEARS but was saddened today to learn that they permit open carry in their stores (and, yes, I got this information from the stores themselves). While open carry is legal in CT, private businesses can decide not to allow guns in their stores. Caraluzzi’s does not yet have such a policy. So that you are aware, Costco, Starbucks, Price Rite, Whole Foods, and Target have policies that do not permit guns in their stores.

As I travel the Tri State area frequently by car on business, I’m always in search of «road food.»
After today’s pit stop @ Caraluzzi’s, will definitely add them to my «short list» for an interesting variety of prepared foods and a good selection of fresh fruit.
Added bonus: prices are several notches below Whole Foods, Balducci’s et al, and the check out experience was quick even at dinner hour.

My favorite grocery store! We recently moved from Ridgefield to Redding and decided to forego Stop & Shop one week to try the local market — and are we glad we did! Carluzzi’s far exceeds the chain markets with its personal touches and quality foods.
Perhaps what I enjoy most about this store are their store-​made goodies. I love their homemade chicken sausage with provolone and spinach, fresh pasta, gourmet cream cheeses and the abundance of local finds they feature. Everything I’ve had from their bakery is top-​notch and the service in every department has been excellent — and not hard to come by. I even find the prices cheaper on everything from lunch meats to milk. I have yet to come home with rotten produce or failed to find something I was searching for, unlike S&S. I’m definitely a Carluzzi’s fan!

Great store. Lovely managers always looking to help. The kids are nice and polite as well. Good selection and good prices for an expensive area. Can usually get a good price on just about anything.

I stop here often on my way home for work to grab something hot to eat. I love their prepped food options and I always find something I like. This past Friday I stopped in, and I was blown away by their customer service. Everyone who works there seems happy, but they also seem to really value customers. Thank you to the cashier and manager for helping me with my soup fiasco. I promise to pay it forward!

Great Place for food shopping. Lots of unusual fresh produce A great prepared food section as well as pretty good sushi. The store is not so big so as to get lost in it. Very manageable in reasonable amount of time.
Friendly staffers are always available to help bag your items.

Very limited selection and quite honestly their buyer is very weak in several areas. Fruit is OK, it is pricey but as others pointed out, we pay for the convenience. Organic/​healthy section is very limited and stocked with very poor choices (i.e. out of touch with what’s in demand). The cheese selection is extremely odd and I simply gave up on that since they always have the same lousy stuff.
Worst of all, while I appreciate the fact that they give teens a job at the registers, PLEASE teach them how to bag… bread mangled, cakes sideways in a bag??? Flower dept is hit or miss, I usually ask them to combine 4 – 5 bunches and only one girl knows what she is doing, the others simply throw everything together… the list goes on… Same for the seafood dept, the nice guy with the dark beard is great but the young kid has NO clue on how to cut halibut (at $ 24.99/lb)

I am so fortunate to have Caraluzzi’s as my closest market to home. I can find more variety here than at another larger store. They just seem to know what we want. The prices are very competitive and the end of aisle specials are awesome. The best thing about Caraluzzi’s is you never have to wait or bag your groceries.

Caraluzzi’s Market is a medium sized grocery store with excellent service and low prices. They have a very good selection of produce, meats and fish and prepared foods (although I am not a fan of the latter), frozen foods and specialty items. They also have great seasonal garden items and indoor plants at amazing prices.
They have Alvarado St Breads, other organic breads, as well as frozen gluten free products. The only reason I don’t shop there more often is that they don’t offer a lot of local produce and they don’t have a good selection of grass fed meats. Otherwise they are a really great store.
I love that they have the little shopping carts for my two year old. Makes shopping with a little one a lot easier.

I received a postcard a few days ago informing me that Caraluzzi’s in Georgetown is re-​opening. How exciting! I have been to Caraluzzi’s many times and was always excited to find unique food items there. But the atmosphere there always felt a little dull. Over time, I found some other favorites and almost forgot about Caraluzzi’s. The new and improved store is much livelier. It is studded with an expansive seafood section. It has a full service butcher’s counter as well as a large selection of artisan cheeses. There is even a pastry case featuring store-​made cakes and decadent individual desserts. My favorite addition to the new Caraluzzi’s is the café and gelato bar! Now you can order up a yummy panini and sip your freshly frothed cappuccino while you watch the buzzing activity at the store. There is a wonderful seating area at the café that makes it a perfect place to lunch or snack should you need a food-​break. For parents with young children — imagine how much simpler your grocery trip will be, now that your child can savor a yummy gelato while you shop in peace!

Clean and has lots of goodies you won’t find at other supermarkets… plus it’s not expensive. If they only got self-​checkout I’d give it 5 stars for sure!

Carluzzi’s in Georgetown/​wilton is currently undergoing a much needed updating. In the process I can’t help but note their increased organics in the fruit and vegetable area; all neatly presented and well labeled.
I am also very concerned about the GMO’s in our foods and they carry one of the largest arrays of non GMO snack items I have ever seen. Some of the yogurt they carry is not labeled as not having the growth hormone in it so you need to look at that closely but I was happy to see the addition of the Wallaby organic yogurt and hope the will add additional flavors. Fage is also organic and the sometimes have really good sales on it.
Their meat is of excellent quality and they also have some very excellent non farm raised fish.
As someone who eats healthy; these changes have impressed me a great deal.

This is a fantastic grocery store. It’s like Whole Foods but with lower prices, better selection, and none of the «organic commercialism.» It’s all very low key, friendly, and delicious. The sushi bar and homemade foods are excellent too. They just opened a renovated produce section and are in the process of building a café… it promises to be amazing.
I wrote a humorous review on my blog, too. Check it out:

Great grocery. Lots of local fresh finds and excellent natural selections.

They are very fair and reasonably priced. Very convenient from where I live. Their selection, especially in the natural and organic sections, is limited and the prices could be better, but it is smaller grocery store compared to the super-​mega-​ginormous grocery stores around and it does remind me of the supermarkets from when I was a kid. They are great for doing quick fill-​ins, but unfortunately, their prices and selections can usually be beaten elsewhere.

This is my first review on Unilocal,so sorry if start rambling. I live off of Topsone Rd and take the Branchville train to GCT every morning at 641. Holla. I return home on the 641 pm train and am always starving when i get in my car. There are 2 choices under these circumstances for a great grocery store. Ancona’s is right next to the train and Caraluzzi’s down Rt 7 a mile or so. Tonight I chose Caraluzzi’s. I love this store and usually pop in around 3 times a week. Their specials are always posted on the windows outside, and for some reason this actually dictates my decision to go in or not. Tonight was porterhouse’s for 4.99/lb, organic cow milk, 2 for 5… what? well they got me at this point, without even noticing the prices for the raspberries and peach specials. So when you walk in you are greeted by an awesome produce selection, and I toss 4 boxes of the raspberries in my cart for 1.49 a pop! Nice… I skip the porterhouse even though they look awesome, but loaded with saturated fat, which I try to avoid. I then headed for the Organic Cow milk, which in my opinion is the best tasting around. 2 skim half gallons for 5 bucks, nice again. Stoneyfield farm nonfat frozen yogurt was also on sale, and I may stop by this weekend to satiate my craving. I picked up some greek yogurt as well and hit the road, noticing gas is almost down to 4 dollars… what a deal. Anyways, Caraluzzi’s is an awesome full service, old fashioned, non-​chain type grocery store. It has an awesome fish and meat selection and also a great cup of joe in the back right corner. See you soon.
