Quattrocchi's Specialty Foods — Local services in Ontario

Some of the staff are very ignorant & rude at times! I noticed they tend to stereotype & judge certain people quite negatively, based solely on their appearance. I overheard two staff talking amongst themselves about an elderly man who didn't appear to be very wealthy, as he was looking at some fruit to buy while he was counting a handful of nickles and dimes to see if he had enough money to buy the couple of apples & 1 peach he had in his arms. The store clerks were saying "better keep eyes on him, he will probably try to steal the fruit, I bet he will be one of those thieves from the hub. ('Integrated care hub' across the street from Quattrocchi's). I was so disappointed in the employees of Quattrocchi's, for their lack of common respect & equal treatment for all customers & for their basis of negative & wrongful judgement. It's wrong how they ever so easily jumped the gun on betting this man would be another "hub thief"🙄😤 They built this bogus character for a man who was just simply broke & hungry & PAYING for food. & Who by the way infact did NOT steal! I'm disgusted with the costumer service experience they seemed to have. & Yeah I get it, theft may be a common theme at their store but doing what they did that day to an innocent man is wrong. I'm just glad he didn't hear...

This is a very cool a little out-of-the-way shop. Kind of in the Dodge rear end of town in a bit of an industrial area. I guess they mostly do wholesale vegetable and products sales to stores and restaurants. But when you walk in it's an old school Italian food store. If you're a foodie you'll love it. Tons of cool Cheese's and candies and canned goods and all sorts of stuff you don't see in any other grocery store. We bought some chocolate and cheese and a variety of other things really just to try them because they looked cool. Whiskey Ginger cheese? It was pretty good tasting, but a 10 out of 10 on the cool o meter. Same thing with a bunch of the other stuff we bought. I bought a few cheeses that we were talking about and without asking were handed samples of each to try. Tres old school.

What I leave downtown Kingston to drive the 15 minutes out to this store for its own sake? Probably not if I was being touristy. But if I was anywhere nearby and left food I'd probably make a point of popping in for half an hour. You'll burn half an hour just browsing here before you realize that the time...

Amazing staff, amazing quality! Delivery for a small fee! Everything you need except the butcher (Ted Greenlees best bet there)! Prices beat supermarket prices on average! Beautiful gift baskets. Hardy plants! All around fabulous experience!

Highly recommend ordering your next grocery list from Quattrocchi's, email transfer available.

Send them your list and they will shop for you, calling you only once about questions pertaining to your order.

You will receive everything you ordered, fresh as can be, locally sourced, for less than a supermarket like Walmart or Nofrills would charge!

Don't believe me??

Just try them! Corner of Montreal and Railway! Treat their customers as they want to be treated! Don't miss out on this experience, especially when the alternative is standing in line indefinitely to be limited in quantities and need to follow arrows...
