“"Leave your cares behind come with us and find The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind" (Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes) We confess that we love Italian delis and grocery stores. And we both agreed that the Whitneyville Food Center is as good an Italian deli and grocery store as we have ever visited. When you walk in, you're greeted by long aisles of fruits and vegetables, baked goods, grab and go showcases, prepared salads, deli meats and cheeses, steaks and pork and chicken and sausages, canned goods, pastas, breads and rolls, and lots of grocery items. We picked up 3/4 pound of ground veal ($7.69) for a Thanksgiving Bolognese, a huge 3.5 oz. coconut almond chocolate chip soft biscotti ($3.25), and two deli sandwiches. The sandwiches were on a hard roll and were priced at just $8 each for a pretty good sized sandwich. My Italian Combo had plenty of ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a super sift fresh hard roll. I had half for lunch today and the other half went into the fridge for tomorrow. The customer service was fantastic. The gent in the butcher department was very personable and funny, and the guy who made our sandwiches was friendly and professional. Put everything together, and this was an easy Five Star experience.”
“I stop here often when in the area and have been a customer for several years. There are great grab-and-go lunch options as well. This is the kind of independent specialty market that I need as mega retailers lack many of the staples”
“Lina's Place is the best Eastern European store in Connecticut. I a customer of Lina's place for almost 20 years. Manager Natasha is very helpful with recommending new and delicious items I usually may have not considered. High quality assortment of foods like Cakes, Candy, and Deli meats.”

“This is indubitably one of the best African stores in Connecticut. It’s a one stop shop for every kind of African and Caribbean groceries. I visited today and was really impressed. The attendant I met was very courteous, and a good conversationalist with the most engaging sense of humor, that I almost didn’t want to leave. It’s family friendly; pretty close to the road, and can be easily noticed from a vehicle in normal traffic. There’s also wheelchair accessible entrance for the differently able. #AfricanStore #Groceries #CT #FamilyFriendly #WheelchairAccessible #Food #Shopping”

“Best covenience store you can stop for a little of everything Mexican Colombian, etc. Love this place. I would definitely recommend anybody trying to send money to their family or just trying to make a quick stop go visit Eravitacy Multiservice”
“My friends and I got the opportunity to dine in at the restaurant today. It was a quiet setting but it’s very cozy. The general tso’s chicken with pork fried rice was absolutely delicious. That was the best pork fried rice i’ve ever had, you could tell it was flavored and cooked with love. Such a bonus that it is connected to the market and you get to choose between a variety of asian snacks! This place definitely feels family owned and I will definitely be coming more frequently and telling more people about this place! 5 Star”
“Love this store! All the employees are super friendly and very polite. It’s a well stocked and maintained store. They also make great sandwiches! And of course they are always open,”
“I can't say enough good things about Shoprite Pharmacy on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden . Everyone behind the counter is so kind, friendly and knowledgeable. My prescriptions are refilled promptly and accurately with text and a phone call to remind me to pick them up. Such great service I would recommend this Pharmacy to all my friends and family.”
“The shop is not exactly a dollar tree shop it's a combination of dollar tree and general stores..
Very few sales people are there insufficient to assist when it's crowded.
neighborhood people can step in and buy things but if you are a new person to the shop you can refer to the board hanging in each section..
When compared to the dollar tree shop the price is a bit higher..
Most appreciated thing is all type of cosmetics, kitchen items and all house hold things are available.except groceries..”
6AM - 12AM
3394 Whitney Ave, Hamden“Open 24 hours, which is very convenient for me as I get out of work at 4:30 and know I could go there for gas, drink, or snack. Plus, there are many automobile needs.”
“The 80s nostalgia at this location is beyond more than enough for me! *First timers/outsiders just watch yourself with the daily "human fixtures". Unfortunately recommended mostly for the unafraid/unintimidated.”
“Very nice super market with everything under the sun! Wonderfully cool inside which has been appreciated in these hot weeks of summer. Recent uptick in strong sales have brought prices to a more reasonable spot and in line with competitor stores near by. Main frustration is the changing of store layouts too often. It can be frustrating when getting used to goods being in specific parts of the store and this reduces my ability to shop efficiently. Certainly worth including this store in your grocery shopping routine.”
“Nice store, very clean, good variety, nice employees. Also the best pharmacy in town. Pharmacy Manager John and his team are courteous, professional and helpful. So glad I’ve moved all my prescriptions here over the past few years.”
“I like to go shopping in this place because their cashiers are very friendly and are always smiling with people, they have an excellent way of serving customers, the ladies are very friendly and sociable.”

2300 Dixwell Ave, Hamden“I would give a five star rating, but the only negative is that they lock up all the soap and thats a slight inconvenience to me but i completely understand why it is they do that.”
“I got this for my boyfriend’s graduation surprise party. This was my first time ordering, and I am impressed with the quality of this charcuterie board. Everything was delicious and beautifully crafted, with a reasonable price point. This fed 12 adults before the catering arrived. Thank you so much. I will most definitely be returning to this place.”
