Il Mercato

Being an Italian food foodie, I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place! We happened to visit on their 1 year anniversary, so I could kick myself silly for missing out on all the goodness here for 365 days.
It’s an Italian food warehouse — like a mini Eataly in the Hudson Valley!
Great selection of pasta, canned and jarred Italian staples, spices, olive oil, vinegar, Italian coffee, soda, sparkling water.
Nice refrigerated section with pre-​sliced meats and cheeses, olives etc and fresh bread from a local bakery.
Many brand names we have seen before and can get elsewhere — but really impressed with the dried pasta selection.
A tiny bit disappointed that the Nutella was not the imported real deal, but the inferior one made in the U.S. We passed on it.
Since we visited around the holiday they also stocked homemade cookies, Panetonne, Pandoro, Torrone and more. They had samples of these to hand out and also a shot of espresso to celebrate!
They also stock bulk quantities of things for restaurants in the area, or if you were having a large party.
Store is large, clean, well organized and the prices are very reasonable. Owners are from Sicily and very friendly.
We’ll be back often!

This store has everything that an Italian will want. The prices are right. You can buy in bulk or individual. There are a different variety of Italian cheeses that usually you don’t find any other places. Check out the place to believe it.

It’s nice to see a new specialty grocery in the Hudson Valley which helps add more variety. It doesn’t compare to the selection that you can find in the city, but for where it is, it’s a good start. It has a no frills warehouse atmosphere with some items sold in bulk. They offer various italian dried and canned goods but I didn’t really see a refrigerated section. The prices seem fairly reasonable and there is a small sample station where you can try a few of their feature items.
