I really like this place but unfortunately they are getting way too expensive for many items. I've been shopping here less frequently and doing more trips to Costco. Please try to get prices under control.

During covid, the market went out of its way to accommodate shoppers with pickup and delivery...it turned me into a loyal caraluzzis shopper. over the last several months the produce seemed to go bad waaay sooner than expected so my shopping went from a weeks' worth to only a couple of days' worth to avoid spoilage, a pain in the butt, but i continued my shopping as usual. this morning i opened a box of strawberries (4.99) I purchase yesterday morning and half were rotten...not the first time, there has been broccoli with mold, mushrooms that are complete mush and salad that belonged in the compost pile, in the meat and dairy there are lots of past date items used as fill on the shelves. The fish department, which was pristine when chris worked it, looks like a disaster that has already happened. maybe i'll shop the new store on mill plain, maybe Ill try labonnes or the big y...but i would and will stay away from the newtown location due to its rapid decent into a one star review

Zero stars. My kids can not find summer employment because Caraluuzzi hires illegal aliens with no social security- I was just in there at noon. About 6 non Americans (one with an anchor baby) others with facial hair in dresses- Nice Newtown. Whatever happened to having to be a citizen before hiring? I don't know, but Caraluuzzi found a way to hire illegal aliens instead of members of our community. I bought my last from you-

I enjoy this local market it truly had a variety of food for all to enjoy. I was extremely happy with the produce it was fresh and delish. I purchased some blueberries, huge naval oranges, strawberries, and apples as this is a big snack staple for my family. I also found some gluten ( crackers, cookies) free items as a person in my family has Celiac Disease. The market is large and kept extremely clean. Also aisles were market well to identify were all products are located perfect for the customer.

Extremely over priced grocery store, surprised they are still in business. A lot of stale expired food and the food they sell "fresh" tastes terrible. Would not recommend stopping here, the big y across the street has more options and fresher food than this place does. Also everyone there is very rude and clearly doesn't want to be there.

The best market in town, very nice to me, always willing to help, even the managers assist you, I know I put four stars but there are actually six.

The staff here is taking the safety guidelines seriously, as are the customers. I feel comfortable shopping here during these trying times.
Got fresh? Well, Caraluzzi's has it all! First time shopper in this store, I was amazed at the organization, selection, friendly, helpful staff and the sheer choices of superior products! The fish case was brimming with glistening fresh, wild caught fish at very reasonable prices! The meat dept. is exceptional with super fresh, well marbled beef selections. Try their deli, chock full of favorite brands and all kinds of fresh meats and cheeses. The "wall," as my sister calls it, is filled with prepared foods with everything from meatballs, pasta, carrot souffle and every kind of well prepared foods you can buy! The other thing that was so impressive was the staff! Super nice, friendly counter personnel, cashiers and even the person that bagged my groceries were extremely polite, with a clearly positive attitude! You just can't find this at any other local store, especially the shop/stop stores that are dirty and sell rotten produce. BRAVO to the Caraluzzi family and, I wish you would open up a store in my hometown, Fairfield, CT!

Tried the brisket today. That was a no go. Very dry and not. Very good smoke flavor. 16$ a LB and that's with the carrots and potatoes. Similar to dried out roast beef. Wouldn't recommend for the price. Sorry.

Nice and we'll stocked produce, navigable and pleasant store with good selection, and prepared foods well above average, including healthy ones. The pasta fagiole is great to have around.
