Urzi’s Blue Ridge Italian Market

I really love Urzi’s; they have a good selection of everything from olive oil to spices to candy. I always buy my double zero (00) flour there, and I like to get their bread dipping spice for just throwing in any Italian dish. They also sell some good frozen bosco sticks.

One of my favorite places to shop on
The Hill. From spices, to cheeses and wine, they have a large selection. Great market run by great people!

I could get lost in this place for hours! They have just SO many things packed in this small space, including spices, cheeses, wines, kitchenware, candy, meats, and pasta. I think you can also order pizza from this place.
I typically come here for wine because they have many unique bottles that are reasonably priced. Last time I got a pineapple moscato carbonated wine. It was absolutely delicious and only $ 10. The previous time I bought a mango carbonated wine. Again, really delicious! Finally, the last time I was here I picked up a bottle of white truffle olive oil for $ 10, which I have used for so many dishes. Again, such a great price.
In terms of service, I’ve always found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The only downside is that it is pretty tight in the store, which can make navigating the store somewhat tricky.
In sum, I feel so lucky to have this place so close to my house. Definitely a place you should check out if you’re in the neighborhood.

I have been going to this Deli/​Market for a couple of years now and I love it. The whole staff is super friendly and always willing to answer any questions I have. The sandwiches and salads are really good and you get them for a great price. Also, I purchase all my Deli meat here because it’s the best quality and you get it at a better price then your supermarket. I highly recommend you try this place out!

The first time I visited, the owner helped me repair my espresso pot. I have gone back there so many times since and every time — I find something new and different that I’ve never spotted before. Just different & fun.

Great selection and prices.

This a great market for spices! They sell spices in various sizes at very reasonable prices. example two whole nutmeg — two in a cute litte container $ 1.19.
They also have a great selection of baking sprinkles and sugars. Great place to stock up prior to Christmas cookie baking days.

Love this little grocer. Every time we go to St. Louis we make a pilgrimage to Urzi. The family that own the store very nice and accommodating. Prices are very good and the selection is exceptional. Often times when I am in St Louis for business for the day I run in at noon to get one of their sandwiches or salads; exceptional.

Great place to shop. Wonderful people and always glad to help! Excellent food!

So i went back for the sausages and they were not as good the second time and then yesterday for a third time… they were actually pretty bad. Kind of scares me that a 60 year old sausage recipe can be that inconsistant.

Love this little market… Every type of noodle you would never think of… every type of cookie sprinkle ever created… sauces, spices — fresh salads etc…

You can t find a better place for all of your Italian cooking needs, I have been going to Urzi’s since I was a little girl before it was moved across the street to its present location. The family are an incredible asset to the community, they keep a wide variety of products for their customers, and help in any way they can with your choices, if by chance you aren’t sure just what you need. The fresh homemade sausages are excellent, none better in the city[my opinion].There is an Old World feel to the place that is quite appealing, and the aromas mmmmm, what better way to stoke your appetite! Take a chance, go in and browse, its a great place, Ive even found some of my favorite gifts in there !

Another of our St. Louis favorites. We always stop at Urzi’s, although that does not keep us from hitting up Viviano’s (more variety, but higher prices) and Digregorio’s. The latter often has some really good sales going on. We missed out on picking up frozen t-​ravs to take, but we were just too busy this round!
Anyway, you’re best bet may be to window shop here early in your trip, then hit the place up just before you leave, cause you’ll probably fill every nook and cranny not taken up by suitcases and passengers!

Sitting on the edge of the Hill, off to a corner where no one seems to notice it, is this FABULOUS little market. What makes this market so fabulous you ask… well, the amazing prepared foods you can get here, that are totally authentic and totally delicious. Gold star Urzi’s for making my lunchtime that much easier.
The place is also an amazing stop for any Italian pick up items you may want. They sell a ton of sausages, packaged spices, bulk items, and candies. I have been buying Italian bread here for a while now and it’s always great, fresh, and pretty cheap, also it keeps a lot longer than normal grocery store bread. Spices are excellent to pick up at this little market as well. They don’t have a huge array, but you can pick some up for very cheap. Spices don’t go bad either (well, it takes a while at least) so pick up a ton of them. You will be thankful next time you need to make a sauce and are low on Oregano or Rosemary… pick your poison.
Totally feel like you are shopping in a corner market in Rome here, well, not really, but it’s a lot closer than if you were picking up your Saturday essentials at Schnuck’s.
