Bruzzese's Italian Gourmet Salumeria

If we initially did not call back in hopes of a better outcome my review would have differed negatively. We got a wonderful catering this weekend my niece had ordered. We at first we spoke to a very nasty lady named Jessica originally who just gave the assumption we were bothering her with questions in regards to our catering order. She was very rude and has no business being in the customer service industry. We said we would call back and confirm unsure we wanted to proceed further since she seemed to be in a hurry. This was early afternoon around 1pm Monday June 8th that We winded up putting our order through with I believe her name was Jelissa. She was patient, kind and very helpful. We winded up with a wonderful catering from this store. We briefly spoke with another girl during the week she was kind too. We will definitely be catering from this establishment again just to our knowledge we know now to ask for a specific catering person as per our first impression and attempt. I would have given 5 stars if my niece had felt more welcomed the first time around!

I gotta sandwich for a flight, first time here but my family said it was pretty good. I got the #1 which includes chicken cutlet and my chicken cutlet was raw. I took out a cutlet too (unfortunately didn’t take a pic) and broke it in half and it confirmed even more that it was raw. Even pinker than what’s shown in the picture attached. I’m usually not the complaining type but it was so disappointing, I was already checked in at the airport so I couldn’t necessarily bring it back. Paid $16 for the sandwich. Had to get something else at the airport. The lard breads good but definitely not going back for the sandwiches. Not hating, just bringing it to their attention.

Today I went into this store thinking 🤔 I wanted a nice hot home made soup but was I surprised.
I went back to work with chicken soup thinking how good was going to be until the first spoon full then spitting it out!

How about Cheap Canned Soup with a few slices of zucchini in it!

Think I’m lying go to the store and buy there chicken soup and tell me if you can eat that crap?
I looked through it with my spoon.
They did not even try to add extra chicken just a few pieces of zucchini and all the rest soup was same cheap canned crap.

Made me so pissed off I had to leave a review it deserves.
Call them selves a Gourmet Italian Store? Joke for sure and last time I will be spending money in that store.
When it was called Certos was 100x times better food.

I made a special trip there to try their silician rice balls. Very disappointed, they were very dry and there was a lot of tasteless cheese mixed in with the rice. I was going to order some for a party but won't bother now. I had read a review that said they had rice balls to die for. Whoever wrote that has a poor taste in italian food. To be fair, I did not try any of their other foods. They had a large selection and seemed to be a popular business.
