We had some tiramisu from here and WOW! The son picked up a half pan of it for $50.00. It was so delectable, moist, and delicious and not overly sweet. I have to declare it the gold standard in tiramisu's until further notice!

Simply an amazing Italian market with ANYTHING that you can think of that you might need. My dad and I were passing through to go Green Bay, we got two Italian sandwiches which were unreal. I appreciated the friendly staff and it didn't take long to get the food. Will go back again!

I've been coming here for years, and this place truly has a little bit of everything when it comes to Italian food and gifts. Their pasta section is a standout--that said pairing it with a special sauce or olive oil is my idea of the perfect gift with the holidays coming up. They also have amazing focaccia, awesome for bringing to a party, and a huge cheese selection that's sure to impress. Don't miss the sandwich AND gelato counter--all the sandwiches are made to order and come out quickly. The market itself is adorable, full of Italian charm and unique finds. Definitely worth a visit!

Dinner at a grocery store? Yes, please! Glorioso's sandwiches and sides were things memories are made of. We had an Italian sausage with peppers and a meatball/pepperoni/peppers sandwich. Just the right amount of marinara. Grabbed a side of polenta fries & a few extra olives from the case. Plenty to choose from on the dessert front- cannoli was very satisfactory. Limoncello tart- I was hoping for a bit more bite, but that didn't stop me from finishing it off. Grabbed our food and enjoyed a beautiful night outside at a picnic table. I'm door seating is available as well. Highly recommend!

Another trip another fancy grocery store review. Glorioso's might be the best one I've been to. I got a soppressata and provolone open faced Sammy with everything. Amazing! They also had so much stuff I want to go back and try from pasta salads to chocolate tarts. I would legit gain 15 lbs if I lived closer to this kind of Italian deli. Going back later

We were walking around Brady St and came across one of the best Italian markets I've ever been to. As a recent Milwaukee resident who just relocated from Boston, I have been in search of a classic Italian market and I'm so glad I've finally found one that has far surpassed all my expectations and reminds me of home. Amazing selection of desserts, wine, meat, deli, prepared foods, groceries and more. People at all the counters so helpful in helping you decide what to get and what's their favorites. Always busy with people shopping for fun meals or specialty items. Their deli sandwiches are massive and perfect for lunch. We got pizza ingredients for a fun dinner tonight and tried their tiramisu for dessert. I love coming in every week and discovering new favorites and finding Italian classics that I cannot find in most stores.

I had also saved Glorioso's as a place to stop by (thank you Howard!!) and I did just that as I was in the midst of a foodie crawl on Brady Street. This was an impromptu crawl, after a meal at La Masa Empanadas, I was beckoned by Glorioso's and Peter Sciortino's Bakery (please see that review as well). This grocery store was massive for an Italian grocery store and Michael (employee) was very friendly and cool, as I waited in line with my dessert (a large, white cannoli). Gerry - "Hi Michael, is this store bigger than Tenuta's in Kenosha?" Michael - "That's my uncle's store and we're actually bigger. We are bigger by square feet and when you think about it, half of Tenuta's is a liquor store." Points well taken and the lines were long, people were shopping on this Saturday. There's also a little area where you can eat and that's where I had my large white cannoli. They should a called it the Great White Cannoli (after shark week). It was great and I'm looking forward to coming back for even more goodies. Ciao for now!!

If you want your taste buds flooded with Italian deliciousness, Glorioso's is a must! The market is fantastic! It's filled with a variety of breads, pastas, meats, cheeses, wines, desserts and more. But my favorite part of Glorioso's is the deli. My husband and I just returned from a trip to Milwaukee, and we like it so much, we ate there twice during our stay! The first time we got food from the deli, we got our go-to, the Villa Sub #1 with Vegetable Pasta Salad and a Sprecher root beer. The second time, we decided to try something new to us. We had the Meatball, and it was scrumptious! We also got enough Vegetable Pasta Salad and Tortellini Pasta Salad to enjoy with our early lunch and take back home with us. And we had to have a root beer again to wash it all down. We also bought some other groceries from Bothe the deli and market like prosciutto-stuffed olives, spicy giardiniera and a Sicilian baguette, along with some cheeses, just to name a few. You don't even have to be a huge Italian food fan to come here. If you like good food, you have to go to Glorioso's!

This Italian market is a MUST and it is so worth trying to find parking on Brady street, which is the bane of my existence. The market has pasta, frozen meals (lasagnas, ravioli, seafood, etc), kitchen supplies, alcohol (wine, liquors, canned spritzes, cocktails, etc), a bakery with so many desserts, and a deli. There's something here for everyone. You can do a little shopping and enjoy a delicious meal all at once! There are tables to eat at both outside and inside. After strolling around a bit, we decided to get an eggplant parmigiana sandwich, a vegetable arancini, and an asparagus and Gouda risotto cake. The risotto cake was average - the outside was crispy (tasted slightly burnt), the inside was creamy, and there was plenty of asparagus. The flavor was a little lacking though and it could have used more salt at minimum. The arancini and the sandwich were the stars of this meal. The arancini was massive and came heated with marinara and cheese on top. It was exquisite. The arancini and the marinara were flavorful on their own, but together they were magical. The eggplant parmigiana sandwich was sublime. It came stuffed with mozzarella, eggplant, and sauce. I could eat this everyday. I wish I could eat this everyday.
