Was at Uncle Giuseppe's in Ramsey yesterday. I bought a little over a pound of Italian Easter pie, at $15.91. It was so salty and so distasteful that I never want to see Easter pie again. Also bought two artichokes at two for $5. No amount of cooking and steaming made them edible then to add insults to injury, I bought a dozen jumbo brown eggs on sale, for $3 and some change, but when I got home and read my receipt it seems they charged me $7.99. Very disappointed in this place, and probably will never return

When I lived in NJ, I was a loyal customer at Uncle Giuseppe's. The quality & selection always kept me coming back. Life has since taken me back to NYC, where I'm currently undergoing treatment at MSK. These days, small & simple things bring me happiness & I've been dreaming about Uncle Giuseppe's chicken Francese meatballs.
So, this past Saturday, I was determined to make the trip. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning.
Walking through the doors, I was instantly transported back. The Italian music quickly brought me back to Italy. The store was immaculate, just as I remembered-clean, well-stocked, filled with all of the Easter traditions. Panettone & Chocolate Filled Easter Eggs.
* Olives: Gorgonzola-stuffed, prosciutto-stuffed, & oil-cured. All expertly selected.
* Prepared Foods: Chicken Francese meatballs, eggplant meatballs, & ricotta rice balls.
* Sauces: Marinara & Francese sauce.
* Cheeses: A 5-year-aged Black
* Diamond cheddar & a Merlot cheese that I couldn't resist.
* Bakery: A twisted sesame semolina loaf that looked perfect.
* A Treat: A bag of assorted hard Italian candies for a little nostalgia.
* To top it off, I stopped at the espresso bar for an iced Italian skinny girl latte. The barista was a gem-warm, friendly, & determined to get my latte just right. It tasted like a liquid rainbow cookie. Bliss.
* As I drove home, my mouth watered thinking of the meal I had been craving for so long. I envisioned a plate of comfort that would transport me back to the flavors of my childhood. But sadly, that's not what I got.
* The Disappointment:
* Chicken Francese Meatballs: This was the star I had driven all that way for, but they fell flat. The meatballs were squeezed into a small container, losing their signature round shape.
They lacked flavor & moisture, leaving me grateful l had picked up a container of Francese sauce to salvage them. Even with the sauce, they barely earned 1 stars.
* Eggplant Meatballs: Where do I begin? Dry. Dry. Dry. Completely devoid of flavor. They tasted like they had been made in a hurry, with no seasoning or love.
* Ricotta Rice Balls (Arancini): As someone who's made arancini hundreds of times, I can confidently say these were a disaster. The rice was undercooked-crunchy & the breadcrumbs tasted greasy. The inside lacked the creamy, cheesy goodness that makes arancini a delight. Instead, it tasted like lower-quality ingredients rushed together, fried in oil that wasn't hot enough, causing them to absorb the oil instead of developing that signature crispy coating.
* Marinara Sauce: It was fine. If you're in a pinch, it'll do. But nothing remarkable.
* Francese Sauce: Where was the lemon? Instead, I got a sauce full of clumps, almost as if flour had been hastily added to thicken it. It tasted more like an afterthought than the bright, silky sauce it should have been.
The Silver Linings: What Didn't
Disappoint & made me smile
The cheeses were fantastic-creamy, fresh, & full of nutty flavor & the sesame twist semolina bread?
Perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, & absolutely divine dipped in EVOO & balsamic.
Despite my best efforts to savor each bite, I couldn't hide my disappointment.
Even my husband, who's used to me making everything from scratch, took one taste & gently suggested that maybe-just maybe-l should stick to homemade going forward. I promised I wouldn't be making this pilgrimage for prepared foods again.
What Happened to Uncle Giuseppe's?
I don't know what went wrong, but something has changed. The flavors that once made me a loyal customer have vanished, replaced by bland, uninspired offerings. I was heartbroken
-not just for the disappointi

This is a great store but quite expensive so be prepared. Fantastic bakery, deli, hot bar, cheese shop, premade, etc. Produce is all beautiful. Staff is friendly and helpful which I haven't seen at ANY grocery store since I left Chicago. Great Italian music playing and when you run in close to closing it is opera played just a bit too loud. I don't know why but that puts me in the best mood. Only downsides other than $$$, crazy parking lot and the grab and go salads have great toppings on top of 15 cups of lettuce. Enough toppings for 1 person, enough lettuce for 8. Why?
