Giovanni's Produce & Grocery

Great selection of european food and fresh fruit and veg. The total is always cheaper then I think it's going to be.

We love Giovanni's. The fruit and vegetables are fresh and beautiful and the baked goods are great. The dairy selection provides whatever we need. The staff is very helpful. A pleasant shopping experience in a safe enviroment.

I’ve lived in El Cerrito for over 20 years. Giovanni’s has been my favorite walk to grocery - it’s got great produce, a surprising wine & beer selection, a tempting craft chocolate and ice cream on offer and Italian cheezes and olives.

This was a convenient little produce market before the pandemic, an old and locally owned establishment that it felt good to support. But WOW did they rise to the occasion when folks stopped wanting to visit the bigger grocery stores! They have so much stuff now! They’re close to being a one-stop shop — only missing a butcher counter. But they have SO MANY STAPLES, plus fresh Acme (and also shipments lately from a Point Richmond bakery that makes a mean sourdough!) and amazing local pies, pastries, and galettes. Also, some really nice and reasonably priced produce, organic as well as non-. Also if you’re into Italian cuisine, they’ve got some great imports. They also keep expanding their wine/beer/alcohol selection. If it isn’t already obvious,,I just love this place — and everyone who works there is friendly and helpful, which makes it all the better.
