Great market, especially for seafood. Try their fresh lemonade. Best ever.

The salmon will melt in your mouth. Great place to pick up any seafood. Got some amazing soft shell crab a few times too. A little expensive, but not too much for great quality

Love this place. Citarella is a great, reliable place to get a prepared dinner. One of their best items is the rotisserie chicken, which you can request to be cut into quarters. The store has a reputation for being pricey but most items are actually average price, very close to Fairway or Whole Foods. My whole chicken was less than ten dollars, and much better than either than those of the two other stores.

Very cute spot — pretty “boutique” feeling for a grocery store and on the pricier side.

I’ve been shopping here for a year now. I’m disappointed that the cashier named Shanice charged me twice for a cheesecake.

Did you know they sell cakes upstairs? Delicious tiramisu cake!! Bought so many times!!

The cakes and pastries are some of the best on the UWS. All around great place to shop.

Great place to buy lamb and other meats for holidays, birthdays and special occasions. Weve purchased here a few times. The price are pretty steep but you get what you pay for. Citarella has a good variety, quality and service. My wife and I will definitely buy from here again.

Very nice people taking care of customers and the line to get inside goes fast!!

Fantastic quality grocery store. It is on the pricier side. We buy all our fish here. The fish selection is fantastic and delicious. The challah is the best in the city, and they have great prepared foods. We love the gnocchi bolognese, the lemon chicken, meatballs, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, matzoh ball soup and chicken soup.

Gently attendance in all the services.Gourmet quality in goods, Foods, grocery. Meats, fishs, fruits and vegetables, fine bakery.

Decent grub. Fine raw fish.

Issue with masks at Citarella UWS.Unfortunately, on 02/07/21 a customer who was not wearing a mask was allowed to enter and shop in the store. To make matters worse, the customer interacted with several employees, none of whom requested that he wear a mask. I reported the matter to one of the employees who looked at me blankly and walked away without any comment. I then spoke with the manager who apologized for the doorman failing to implement the store mask policy. (When I got in, nobody was monitoring the door like at neighboring Fairway.) The manager did not seem to be concerned that none of his employees bothered to request that the customer wear a mask.I love Citarella. It offers one of the truly great NYC food shopping experience with what I consider to be the best seafood department in the city, plus friendly and personable service. I will continue shopping there. I just hope that in the future, management will be more serious about enforcing its mask policy.

Poultry, fish, organic, and gourmet items. As far as prepared foods, they dont have hot prepared foods but otherwise a good selection. Pricier and not as much of a selection of groceries than other nearby markets but still a good market. One line at checkout and every register is open so line moves quickly, but not a lot of space to walk through and exit.

Maria the manager was very helpful in all of my grocery needs she directed me to where i needed to be to make a beautiful dinner with all the best gourmet trimmings for my family and guests

Great food. Pricey. I don’t mind paying for unique or truly great things, but for yoghurt which is everywhere else half the price it is a bit ridiculous.

Im so addicted to their CrabcakesOMG!Place is immaculate and streamlined with the customer in mind. Stays quite busy and can get real pricey, however seafood lovers try the Crabcakes!!!!

Fun Fact: You can use Postmates to deliver your groceries. The staff is the backbone of this place. Keep up the good work.

CITARELLA IS ALWAYS THE BEST, WITH ITS FRESH QUALITY PRODUCTS. I LOVE IT.

Nice selection of prepared foods. Great fish counter. Pricey though.

It kills me to pay the prices here but their fish, meat and gourmet selections are 😘😘

Love the fresh food and 80% of the products are theres.

Wonderful staff. Well stocked with gourmet and fresh food

I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter in very busy time of the year. (Christmas) Im a very pleased with their service, right on time and the price was very fitting.The Maracaibo cake was very delicious!

A really gourmet store with high productsCheck out the sea/fish counter for diversity and freshness, you will not be disappointed

Very nice market!

Clean store great team members and fresh food thanks you

These are the soft shell crabs we made!

Expensive simply because of location, love the baked goods section though, it was surprising small for a supermarket. Gourmet market, more like glorified bodega

Great store!

A little bit pricey, but very high quality food. Prepared foods are really good for a last minute dinner idea and fish market is too notch

Great spot, gets a bit confusing at the counter though. Rotisserie chicken is the best! A great market on the UWS.

Sweet potato praline & Sausage stuffing is too die for.... I get it every Thanksgiving 💯🥰

Awesome place. Everything so fresh and so clean. True delight to shop there. Always enjoy my purchases and the experience.

Coconut lemon cake. Cake was very soft and tasteful.

High-end (pricey) gourmet grocery store with delicious prepared foods and desserts.Unfortunately, no one upstairs knew anything about their coffee selection or could answer basic questions about it. I appreciated their friendliness and honesty - it’s just a result of poor management. The people behind the counter who pack coffee should be trained to know something about the coffee. I went to Fairway.

Great variety of veggies, cheese and fish. The person in the fish station was super helpful and kind. Great shopping experience.

Bad customer service. I love fruits and because of where I grew up I know how they should taste. I asked the manager to try an apricot since I wanted to make sure they taste right before I buy them. She said no. I believe it is a poor decision.

The only special feature of this market is the fish bar, which used to be of excellent quality but recently the quality seems to have dipped. Several times, I have found half the mussels dead.

They do not except snap which at this point is outrageous.

Great fish and very knowledgeable

Great selection of food, smaller super market

Wonderful shopping here. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Products are fresh and tasty. Loved their rye bread. I would shop here all the time if I lived on Upper Westside of Manhattan.

I LOVE to buy their baked products and the fresh meats.

High quality. Always fresh!

Love this shop . Best fish shop in nyc hands down .

Love the bakery section!

Called them on the phone to see if they had an item. No we cant check. You need to just come in. OK. Went there. Butcher: You really should call first. As you can see, they are well coordinated, well-managed, and friendly.

Its who I work for!

If you are an average cook, the easiest way to improve your cooking is to use the best ingredients. If you are cooking anything that involves fish or meat, citarella is the place to pick it up. Beautiful and fresh meats and seafood.Soups, bread and sauces are also very good for variety. Im not crazy about their prepared foods but others seem to like them.Not the cheapest place on the block but cant beat it for freshness.

Amazing gourmet market. Great prepared foods and incredible prime beef department.

I love love love Citarella. Its very authentic, there is a wide range of options. Its good for if you just want a couple snacks. I loved being able to just walk from the NYLO hotel and pick up whatever I had a craving for. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Citarella has the freshest food in NYC

Everything is so fresh. There is plenty of help to get you in and out fast. And, they have a variety of prepared foods and groceries, as well as their raw seafood (the best), meats, chicken - something for everyone.

Five stars because of Yuriy. He knows his craft, he handles our requests with professionalism and utmost enthusiasm. He makes my cooking so easy, stress free with great outcome! Thank you Master of Meats! 🙌🏼👍🏼He is not there on Thursdays

My favorite items in this store are cream cheese, baguettes and oysters.

Great!

A great selection of gourmet cakes and pastries.

This specialty grocery store is a great spot when you need those certain few items. I especially like the rotisserie chicken. I just cant justify the prices here to do regular grocery shopping. Of note is also the bakery upstaris that makes a decent birthday cake.

Excellent produce and desserts

Citarella started as a fishmonger and still excels in this area. However, you might find it most useful for its wide array of high quality prepared foods and fresh pastas. If youre a turkey giblet gravy fan, dont miss this during the holidays, along with excellent sausage stuffing. Many people also swear by the rotisserie chickens.For a small store, Citarella manages to stock quite an array of fine foods.

Wonderful upscale gourmet market. Well known for it prime meats, fresh fish, and a great selection of cheeses. Their prepared foods are also top notch.

Still great but nothings perfect

Everything is fresh and you can count on finding what you are looking for.

Fancy Fish Store. There are several Citarella in NYC and now in the Hamptons. This one is the original. They carry a wide range of fancy fish. Sort on the expensive side but the quality is fabulous. They also sell beautiful cuts of meat. You might buy your a roast here for your next fancy dinner party. They stock game, just in case you were wondering... They expanded to the second floor years ago. Now they sell specialty groceries too.

Local grocery feel. Wonderfully pleasant & helpful employees. Grocery offerings are high quality & interesting without traditional name brands.

The best meat and fishUpper west side. I buy fresh fish 3xs a weekBuy it, eat it, aimed day.Lucky me. Oh and store workers are great!!!!!

Nice place to shop ingredients and others

Good to shop, but very tight spaces. Cashiers are confined to very small spaces. Thank goodness they were really tiny shaped women. I felt a little claustrophobic personally.

Desserts & pastry 😋

My wife, a talented and skilled prepared- food shopper fills a fashionable shopping cart with the civilian analog of MRE(meals ready to eat) that Citerella does so expertly, And does it at least twice weekly. She emphatically ceased cooking in 1970 when our sons left to see the world and taste food prepared by strangers. A story that could easily stand alone. In our final chapter we are dining around Manhattan and utilizing Citerella for home plated dining. A local rag just posited that Fairway is about to buy the farm for real real and an unnamed gourmet food store is talking to the Bway landlord to turn over the keys. Since Fairway is open 24/7/365 the keys might not even exist. In any event, hopefully Citerella will soldier on.

Great meats cheese produce and prepared foods. Love their baguettes and aged prime steaks

I love this place. A surprising variety in prepared of foods. From scones to lasagna they have it.

One of the Citys Finest Shopping Places. Fine Foods. Fun Discoveries. Comfortable Environment.

Excellent butcher. Good prepared food. Uneven fruits and vegetables.

This place gets to be a mad house at peak hours so if you want to love it as much as I do, try to go on weekdays or just before they close in the evening. I made a late run for steak and other goodies the other night and the usually over whelmed butchers were incredibly helpful and got me exactly what I needed. Their bulk foods are of excellent quality, the Marcona almonds in particular!This isnt necessarily a place to do all your grocery shopping but for any and all specialty item (and a staff that knows them inside and out), this is the place to go

The best place in NYC to buy fresh lobster meat, jumbo lump crab meat and scallops.

This market is so much better than the upper east side. 2 floors. Huge. There is a slightly smaller meat section but it was delicious. Loved this one.

Thank goodness for this place. Amazing seafood! Lovely prepared food, meat counter. Reasonably priced for what it is.

Wonderful store with superb produce and meat. Fish is so fresh. Unfortunately little organic products. Take your wallet!

Everything is fresh and delicious especially if you like to fish

The fish is always perfect, fresh, and delicious at Citarellas! The employees know the provenance of every piece of seafood in the store, and are helpful and friendly. Its an experience just going inside. You will pay top dollar for what you buy, but will be taking home the best top-quality seafood there is. You will never be disappointed with Citarellas!

Great Quality Products. Very Fresh and Great Desserts.

Far from gourmet with many minority cashiers from Washington Heights & Inwood who carry miserable expressions and a lack of etiquette, making you regret your visit immediately. As a minority, it was quite unsettling and an embarrassment. Citarella has an onboarding of staff who clearly are unhappy. The misery is so loud that after 10 years of shopping here, we have gone elsewhere for groceries. Even the White customers look unhappy. No matter how you package things, Citarella has lost its elegance all around. At the end of the day it feels like a Key Food on a good block in disguise if you really pay attention to it all.

Citarella, as always, for the past ten years has been one of my gourmet faves, when I am in the mood for that foodie genre. You cannot go wrong with the myriad of delectable choices that they offer, you are sure to find something that will satisfy your craving desires that range from fresh produce, salads, prepared foods, artisanal pastries, fresh juices, soups, and more!

Best crispy Latkes in NYC and the fresh Applesauce is delicious! Make sure to order on time.

Great butcher. great fish monger. if you are looking for quality produce this is the place. Not a great deli selection nor a good cheese selection, however the produce more than makes up for this.

Top quality everything. After months of comparing prices against Fairway for my regularly grocery list, I now buy all of my protein and have even started picking up most of my produce here.

From fresh to prepared, its the non Kosher answer to Zabars. Pricey of course but often worth it.

The prepared foods look spectacular, particularly the rotisserie chiken and duck. But the standout feature is the fresh fish counter. More varieties than i can vount and helpful counter people to ask questions of and get suggestions from. The only real negative is the checkout line. Narrow and crowded and difficult to navigate once you have paid.

Good quality food ready to eat, good service, spotless, the rotisserie chicken is excellent and the dessert selection on second floor to die for. Convenient work hours and daily menu has a great selection of meats and veggies.

Excellent local food store providing high quality fish, meats, vegetable, prepared foods, etc.

Selection is always fantastic and staff are always soooo helpful

Well they have the best crabcakes you ever going to find on new York city.

Great food both prepared and raw. Also great bakery items - the flourless chocolate cake is to die for. However, this place is pricey, so expect to spend more, but usually worth it.

If you care about organic and freshness, youll love this place, a nice break from Whole Foods which is also a quality grocer.

Love the area

Price of orange juice on display was $8.99.Got home and looked at receipt and they charged me $15.99. Really?Zabars charges $8.99.Is Citarella price gouging or did cashier overcharge? Going to grocery store is hard enough in this environment without having to price check every item.

You can find lots of imported, high quality stuff here. Good selection, but often packed. Fresh fish selection is amazing.
