D’Agostino

Nice convenient location but the staff is awfully rude especially Hispanic woman in the deli section. I honestly have no idea how she keeps the job with that attitude of hers.
Prices are somewhat expensive for the selection, try shopping with their card. Overall a decent grocery story. I’d give it three stars if not for that classless woman at the deli

Despite having a lot of supermarkets around, my aimless walking always leads me to D’Agostino. It’s the 1^st time I’ve checked in, though I’ve been coming here for months now. I like it when I enter the store and the first few things I see are the produce, as you enter further, you’ll see my favorite area, the sushi area and there you’ll meet the Pseudo-​Japanese chef who «prepares» the amazing sushi. Everything else are basic and you’ll in all other supermarkets. A huge downside to this place — prices here are a little bit on the expensive side but if you have the rewards card, you’ll get good discounts.

This is the place you shop at when you are too lazy to walk far or take public transportation or you forgot a key ingredient in something you are cooking and need it quickl6. Prices are easily 2X-​5X other supermarkets. I don’t fault them entirely, rent must be very high. But I don’t have to be happy about paying a hefty premium for an item I can buy for a fraction just a few blocks away or in the case of fruit and some vegetables literally a block away at the corner fruit stand at 10% of the price!
The manager specials are usually great deals and we take advantage of those often. I would be more inclined to do more of my shopping here if they set more realistic prices.

Not a bad market. Not Whole Foods, but much better than Gristedes or Key market. Very good specials, nice employees. Very well lit, and clean.

clean, well organized, and well managed. not as high end or specialty as whole foods, and not inexpensive, but always fresh, always good quality. really good fruits and vegetables, excellent poultry and meat, i go here for a good steak before westside every time. good cuts of angus, good seafood too. sometimes the check out clerks can come across as a bit entitled, then they turn around and pack your bags like shit, as if you’re doing them a favor by shopping there. i will say that those employees and their attitudes don’t seem to stick around for very long. management is also attentive, respectful and helpful, always available to address your concerns.
get on the email list and get the discount shopping card, good deals on weekly specials. all in all, and including gristedes’ and west side market, dagastino is probably the best local market of its kind in the neighborhood. again, characterized by freshness and first rate quality. two thumbs up…

This location is getting better and better. New management has improved the layouts and the staff. Decent stop if you need something quick.

Mixed bag. I shop here often for essentials and find it a little bit cheaper than Gristedes for staple items. However, anything specialty, just go to Whole Foods. Its not worth it.
But, NEVER SHOP ONLINE from this store. I used to in the prior year, They are ALWAYS out of multiple items (or lying). but the orders were mostly correct,.
However…that was a few months ago. Recently, they «upgraded» their system. The online interface is horrific,. …but I braved it since I needed some big items. I received a phone call with multiple items out of stock and when the order came it had wrong items, and missing so many items (that were supposedly in stock), that I thought a bag was misplaced, and didn’t receive a receipt. It was AWFUL.
The girl who handles online (while nice) is just clueless.

I was looking for a cheaper super market option in my area, so I stopped by one night to pick up some produce. The entire store had a rancid smell to it. I had to cover my nose as I walked past the sushi/​butcher area. At that, I put my cart down and left the store. With Mani Market up the block, I don’t see why anyone would «risk» shopping here. Definitely not up to the standard of other D’Agostino’s I’ve been to.

GO TO MANI’S! This Dagostinos has the rudest people checking you out. I don’t understand how someone thinks it’s ok to treat people so bad. Walk a couple blocks and support a great local grocery with the nicest, most helpful people.

I used to think this was one of the better grocery stores in manhattan, but after four straight trips and overpaying each time; Ive had enough. Dags offers two kind of sales the ones where you need 1,000s of points to partake and the sporadic weekly saver deals. Every time I buy one of these weekly saver sale items and use my dag card I leave the store and look at my receipt to find no discounts are ever given. If you are going to have items marked on sale, program your cash registers to apply the discounts. It’s a scam if you ask me.
I would avoid.

Produce is underwhelming and overpriced.
Meat is unappetizing and overpriced.
Packaged goods were well stocked but overpriced.
Also, D’agostino management, if you are reading this (I know. not likely). your rewards program is terrible! You only get daily deals if you have literally thousands of points, and there’s no way to keep track of how many points you have. You’re basically setting me up for a situation where I get ‘outed’ for being the cheapest guy on the Upper West Side:
«I thought that orange juice was $ 3 with points?»
«Sorry sir, you don’t have 1,500 points, it’s $ 5.50».
«OK, I don’t want it then… Also, I thought my cereal was $ 2?»
«Sorry, you don’t have 1,000 points for that either. It’s $ 5.60».
«I’m not willing to pay for that then either. I’ll just take that Dentyne Ice.»
Take your grocery shopping somewhere else… («Where?» you might ask… I have no idea. haven’t found a decent spot since I moved a month ago.)

It’s a classical supermarket crammed into an incredibly small space. If I’m looking for food entertainment, sure, I walk to Manny’s Market or Whole Foods. (I used to sometimes go to Barzini’s but then read the Unilocal reviews…)
Dag is good when I need the basics and need it quick. Never any lines or the crush of other stores.
The roasted chickens are a great deal by the way, and are delicious. If you stop in about 5:30 on a Saturday you can get them right out of the oven.

Ugh please. This is where you go when you don’t feel like going to Fairway or Whole Foods. It’s absurdly expensive, small and gritty, and the fresh food has no appeal. How can my yogurt cost 20% more here than at Whole Foods? Walk yourself 6 blocks up to Whole Foods and you’ll get better food for (sometimes, amazingly) less money.

I wish money wasn’t an object when it came to buying groceries…
…but it is. And that’s why I don’t come to D’agostino’s too often.
It’s a great little grocery store. Incredibly clean. Incredibly vacated. Which is awesome when you think of the awful crowds at Fairway. Everything is in it’s place.
They have pretty much everything you need. I don’t think I’ve ever come and wasn’t able to find something. They even carry birthday candles and books!
But their prices are not so hot. It’s pretty expensive, unless you use your grocery points, which you rack up as you spend more money. For every dollar you spend you get 10 points. Which is a lot if you shop there often. I guess. But the points get you deals that you would get elsewhere already… so it doesn’t really seem worth it to me.

This is my fave neighborhood supermarket. It’s not the cheapest, but it’s the nicest. Their weekly sale system is a bit hard to understand, but once you do you can get fantastic deals. (Some are just on special, but other things you have to trade in your accumulated points to get the discounted price.) A solid deli counter, and a collection of organic and semi-​organic meats.
