Russo's

Whatever you buy in this store.. it is always fresh. You can get fresh fruits, vegetables and even flowers and plants. I love the produce section as everything looks so fresh and inviting. They carry some vegetables that is not available in the local market. The price maybe a little high ... but the quality is great. The deli is very good too. Whenever I go there I buy so many items that I have to cook them all before they go bad in my fridge. more

If you need specialty produce (like ethnic produce such as Chinese vegetables and exotic fruits), this is the place to go. The parking lot is extremely frustrating, but the goods make up for it. They have fresh made pastas, really yummy and reasonably priced pastries, a small but good quality prepared foods section, and the best produce department I know of in the state. During the appropriate seasons, they also have a reasonably priced and fairly well stocked plant and flower nursery. They carry some dairy items (cheeses in particular) that are hard to find elsewhere, but the prices on these are a bit high. They have the best price on fresh figs in the area (half the price of Whole Foods) during their short season in August. They don't have a huge selection of dry foods, but they do have pastas and other goodies. more

this is a fruit and veggie place in watertown, ma which has the most amazing fresh fruits and vegetables at the lowest prices in all of boston, probably. they have a huge selection of produce, all the ingredients that anyone could need, plus a bakery, cheeses and salads prepared. worth every minute of the trip - only 20 minutes from boston... enjoy! more

It is an awesome place to get fresh fruits and vegetables. They are always fresh and the price is reasonable too. They also carry exotic and rare vegetables. They have a great variety of imported cheeses. When you are there check out the deli too. The bakery is very good also. They close early though. more

Russo's is by far the best fruit and vegetable market in the Boston area. They carry a wider variety and generally have lower prices than the supermarkets. As for variety, in summer, they usually carry several varieties of melon, like Crenshaw and Sharlynn, along with the standard cantaloupe and honeydew. The prices for these specialty melons are much lower than at a market, if they even have the item. Russo today had Romaine, green leaf, red leaf and Boston letture for 98 cents a head. The markets are all higher. They had fresh picked that day corn - deliciously sweet. They carry oyster mushrooms and chanterelles. They have a wide selection of Asian vegetables - many kinds of choy - and Asian and Latin fruits. Russo's also has one of the better cheese shops in the area. It is not as cheaply priced. They also have prepared foods, but the real gem beyond the produce is the bakery. Their breads are fantastic with thick, chewy crusts and cost a fraction of bread elsewhere. I bought a rustic loaf for $2 and their Vienna Bread only recently went up to $1.49 from 99 cents for a large loaf. They also carry a number of breads from Montreal bakeries. And to top it off, they make excellent pastries and cookies. Their macaroons are fabulous. more

This Watertown market was a favorite of Julia Child when she lived in the region. The prices and the products are spectacular are the variety of items are great. Fresh vegitables and fine cheeses fill the store and The multitude of counters insure that your checkout will be quick and painless. more
