Angelo Caputo’s Fresh Markets

The fact that this fresh market is big and very close to my house are a plus. However, we rarely stop by this place lately because of a long line of waiting at the cashier! Every time we go there, they have a plenty of cashier counters but why just few are opened!!! It takes more time to pay money than spending time buying stuffs. I’d rather go buy other places.

This was my first trip to Caputo’s. They have a great selection of imported Italian meats, but no one had a clue about Mozarella di Bufala. How is this possible in an Italian centric grocery store? The service was good-​I went late in the day so the store was not crowded.

I come here for the produce section; they have everything, and the prices are great. Sometimes the cashiers/​check out lanes are slow, and the employees aren’t always the friendliest. I have tried their pizza slices – I do recommend it if you’re looking for a quick bite.

I am jealous that we don’t have a place like Angelo Caputo’s here in Colorado. My fiancé and I stopped by the supermarket on our way back to Colorado after a weekend trip in Chicago. You see, I used to live in New York, so I am a huge fan of amazing ethnic restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets, loaded with imported, authentic yummies.
I probably looked like a barbarian on a first trip out of Barberia (this is where they used to live, right?). We were on a time crunch, so I was just grabbing anything I could fit into my shopping cart — imported italian pastas, greek bakery goodies, octopus salads, imported salamis, and other cold cuts. The place is very reasonably prices and offers an amazing selection of Italian and greek goods.
If you guys ever decide to open up a little supermarket in Denver, please please please do it!

Great fresh produce. Excellent fresh mushrooms in bulk. Decent selection of vegan mock meats and non dairy products. Prices are fair.

Before we moved from this area to DC, we had not known there was a caputos close by. I grew up with caputos and always loved their produce and meats. This location is definitely much more updated that the ones I grew up with. This location, although not huge, still has enough space for the many people that visit it.
The organic section was lacking thought. They had almost every kind of bread crumbs you can think of. They carry stella doro cookies too! I don’t live near here anymore but when we have a chance, we do come to this location when we are in town. They need to update their organic produce section.

I was in search for some Italian ingredients and was glad to find Caputo’s. Guanciale, rapini and dandelion greens all made their way into my shopping basket and was reasonably priced. I also loved how the hot deli section (food for those on the go) were at the very front of the store, before the cashiers. This way, you can stop in for lunch without having to walk to the back of the store.
The store had a pretty large variety of Italian goods of course, but also had quite a bit of Hispanic items as well. Also, the café near the front of the store had espresso for a buck each and was nice and strong!

My point of comparison for this (Angelo) Caputo’s is Joe Caputo’s on Rand Road. My main reason for shopping any Caputo’s is the Deli and ethnic foods. I’ll occasionally do Produce, it often doesn’t appear too fresh, which is why I don’t buy it much there — the same holds true for meats. I’ll give the nod for meats to Angelo’s on Harlem, they do OK keeping the freshness in check.
But deli-​wise, Angelo’s on Harlem fall short. It looks like everything I like to buy is now from vendors, rather than made on site. I love the potato salads at Joe’s on Rand — the potato salads at Angelo’s are from some vendor that doesn’t do too well — not much taste. Recently I asked if they had any «Caputo’s beef». It was mostly Boar’s Head — seems like everyone carries that nowadays and it’s average at best. But the staffer did come up with another option at just under $ 8 /​pound. It ended up tasting ok, but frankly, it looked like they bought it from Arby’s — that pressed/​consolidated beef look.
Deli-​wise — I’ll stick with Caputo’s Cheese Market (a third Caputo brother’s place) — there’s is more like Joe’s and is nearby — it’s also a quicker «in and out». I’ll visit Angelo’s every now and then, but there are better options.

I love this place. They have the best selections of Italian products, coffees, amazing meat counter. Try the Barese! Sausage, Sicilian is another. I think it’s FAtto in casa’ (Made there). I wouldn’t change the old world market feel of this place.
Grazie Mile!

I’ve recently moved back into the area and have been going here for our groceries, specifically produce and I have to say it’s been horrible! Every time I bring some thing home it gets mold faster than we can eat it, especially the strawberries! I’ve never had this problem before and because of this I will not be returning.

The stuff is friendly
But food is not always fresh
Especially fresh meat and deli department. It doesn’t smell good there …

So yes. parking can be a nightmare but you just have to know the times to go. My high review goes mostly because, at least in my experience, you cant beat the produce prices at
Caputo’s even the Organic ones are priced more accessible than those at Marianos (which I find overhyped) .
I do admit that although they have quite a variety of other non-​produce items, those can be a bit pricey and you can probably find them cheaper elsewhere. but come on. who really does all their groceries in just one store.
I know I have to go to at least two to stock up. and get the best prices.
But I will continue to come here for my produce.
Perfect example… at Marianos recently for just ONE peach. they were charging $ 1.39 when it was $ 2.30 a lb. That is some over priced peach. I found juicy peaches at Caputos for 0.89 lb. Same with avocados they are always over a dollar at Marianos and I always find it here for $ 0.75
I also like their coffee bar, baked goods and hot foods section.
I cannot be the only one that feels we are being inundated with Marianos and I only find good deals there when they are on sale. otherwise I find them to be overpriced and not w whole lot of exotic fruits to choose from (Kiwis.blood oranges.Figs.and if they are. they are grossly over-​priced)
Yes there are some things Caputos can improve on. but overall Id rather take my money here and get more bang for my buck than pay more for essentially the same produce from a fancier looking supermarket.

I’m from Italy and I spend a lot money at caputo’s for italian grocery, but they always have the expired food! I bought the prosciutto di Parma last week and this was really disgusting, the outline was full of black grease, from the machine that cut, the elderly woman behind the counter should be at home doing the crochet, very rude!

Wow! They have everything you need here. Cooked food, Mexican cheeses, great produce and a nice size parking lot. Weekends are especially crowded.

Love this place! They have been in this location for years! Yet, I have not been here since they inhabited their smaller store. I love this place. They always have an abundance of fresh food. Produce? Yes. Meat? Yes. Olives? Yes. Cheese? Yes.
The great part about this place is that you can put your order in for the meat counter and pick it up after you are done shopping. I like that they have a wide variety of specialty products. Their prices are phenomenal.
They also have your run of the mill market items, so there is no need to make multiple stops.

I had vowed never to go back to Caputos.
Then I saw a sale and thought I would give it a second chance.
Parking is terrible. Prices okay. Produce looks nice.
Plastic bags for produce few and far between.
I saw mostly 2 brands for cold cuts and could not find what I want.
Clientele was not as obnoxious as last time I went.
Due to chaotic parking I think it will awhile before I return.

Caputo’s is a great grocery store, great deli and meat counter as well. Produce quality and selection is exclamation. They have a hot food serving area with a few tables where you can sit and eat, food is good, hot and semi-​reasonably priced. My only complaint is they have cheap plastic utensils, by cheap I mean totally inefficient for cutting or anything, knife and forks bend at every use. C’mon Caputo’s, you make a fortune with your stores, spend the few extra pennies and get Portillo’s quality plastic utensils for your customers, it would make the world of difference to them. The food I ordered looked good, too bad I had to take it home to eat it…

The prices here are reasonable compared to other grocery stores. They have a good selection of different ethnic foods from Spanish to Russian to Indian foods. I used to like coming here until today. The customer service of one of the cashiers (Natalie) was horrible! When we were ready to check out we went to her lane where she was finishing up ringing up a customer. She told us she was closed. Ok no biggie. We moved on to the next register. As soon as the other cashier started ringing us up some other customers went to Natalie’s register and Natalie said «step right up». This was less than a minute since she had told us she was closed! I really hope management talks to her and shows her some customer service skills. Honestly being a cashier is not rocket science. Never going back there and dealing with immature little girls.

I love grocery-​shopping in the city. Seeing fresh produce and seafood makes me blissful and I have no explanation for this at all!
I was glad that I discovered another gem in the city this evening. Although it’s not technically located in the city of Chicago (it’s in Elmwood Park), that geographical detail didn’t matter much because Caputo’s is one of the best «one-​stop» grocery stores in the Chicagoland.
I know I’ve given lots of high praises to Caputo’s; nevertheless, please be aware of the prices on most fruit, veggies, and other agricultural products. When items are not on specials, they aren’t necessary the best purchasing prices. If you’re unfamiliar with the purchasing price on each item, I recommend you to pay a visit to a Cermak Produce location, because most of their prices on agricultural products are the prices that I’m willing to make a purchase at.
Caputo’s also has many selections on pre-​cut fruit, pre-​peeled garlic, and pre-​made salsa for your meal-​making convenience. However, you will save more if you refrain from purchasing any of these items.
Other seafood and meat departments are also impressive. I’m fairly picky on the freshness of seafood since I spent my childhood in Taiwan (an island that’s surrounded by sea), but I saw the salmon filet was visually appealing and the price was reasonable ($ 6.99/lb).
They have MASSIVE selections on olive oil, tomato sauce, and pasta. I saw a premium extra-​virgin olive oil from Italy for $ 27. Yes, you can definitely enjoy luxury on your food at the comfort of your own home.
On the other hand, do you like the Polish Tymbark juice? Their selections are better than what I saw at either Montrose Deli location in the city,
In summary, we purchased an Atlantic salmon filet ($ 4.12), baby Bella mushrooms ($ 0.99/each), four (4) bags of pasta (both elbow and shells, 2 for $ 1; $ 2 for 4 bags), one (1) eggplant ($ 0.76/lb; $ 3.30), Mcintosh apples ($ 0.79:lb; $ 2.61), two (2) bunches of spinach ($ 0.79/each; $ 1.58), three (3) pieces of grapefruit ($ 3.25/lb; $ 2.57), three (3) cases of strawberries (3 for $ 5). The total after tax was $ 22.24.
That was the power of grocery shopping. There wasn’t anything junkie or unhealthy, was it?
In addition, there’s a mini café and a tiny restaurant just in case you need some stamina to sustain the entire grocery-​shopping trip. I highly recommend you to come in with a full-​stomach, because their bakery department and other food «add-​ons» by the registers are super-​tempting. There are too many set-​ups for too little money I agree on spending.

I was at this store and loved the fresh low-​priced high quality produce presented outside of the store. Once walking in, the ½ inside, ½ outside additional produce was even more amazing to see!
Such a lovely place to shop! I was even introduced to a few different deli meats and cheeses I hadn’t been aware of and was able to have complimentary samples from the deli clerk.
At the check-​out, they have a nice homemade hot food bar with tables and cafeteria style eating area. Even though I give Angelo Caputo’s a 5-​star rating, I was especially disappointed in the peach cheesecake slice I tried due to it’s tasting like the flavorings of everything else in the case.
