Guido's Fresh Marketplace

Can't say enough good things about this establishment. Been shopping here for more than a decade and they never disappoint my expectations.
Every department is impeccably clean and well organized. Their cheese selection is excellent their produce and meat department is absolutely the best I the Berkshires. For those who haven't shopped here you should know they carry a good selection of organic and non organic products as well as premade take out. The customer service level ranks at a perfect 10 with knowledgeable staff who are more than willing to assist you.

I wish I lived closer to Guidos. I'm becoming much more aware of what garbage our national food supply has become. Guidos offers more healthy options. Local produce, non GMO, and a fantastic selection of artisan cheeses. The service is wonderful, and the ambiance is quite different from your usual grocery store. I love Guidos!

Their prepared foods are excellent. I especially loved the kale salad. I mean, how can you make a kale salad taste good because kale is not especially exciting...well this place certainly does. I want to replicate their recipe. They have a lot of great cheeses, meats, veggies, fruits, but be prepared to pay through the roof. More expensive than Whole Foods prices, but I'll gladly support a local company over Whole Foods any day. It's a great place to pick up items for a picnic at Tanglewood, but your wallet may be hurting a little after. But, I guess if you're catering to the Tanglewood crowd and tourists who use the word summer as a verb, it makes sense the prices are pretty high.

If you like the feel of Whole Foods (pre Amazon purchase), you'll appreciate Guido's for its organic and earth friendly focus.

Pizza is tasty and Guido's coffee in the bulk section is a plus.

Something for everyone with greeting card stock, flowers, small gifts, natural foods and earth friendly grocery items. Clean and well organized produce, dairy, cheese, etc. Caution - it's small with a small parking lot and overflow lot above and behind it.

I spend about $400 a month at Guido's (their meat and fish counters can't be beat, the produce is fresh, prepared food usually very good, and they have a great bulk food selection). I'm knocking down a star because some of the cashiers aren't interested in customer service: they're too busy talking to the baggers to say hello or thank you. I'm spending $100+ on a bag of groceries, please at least look me in the eye and say something! There used to be a manager up front but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Not sure if anyone from Guido's reads these reviews, but staff training might be in order.

Guidos, please after shopping at your store for 33 years I wish you would make returning an item a less fraught experience. In the 33 years which I have shopped regularly I can count on one hand the number of items I have returned. Every time I have been met with rudeness. I love your store but sometimes (rarely) an item does not meet your (mine) standards. This happened with your grilled artichokes recently which were really poor. Not a big deal, it happens. I returned it and did not have a receipt although there is no other business that sells these in the area. The manager reluctanty gave me a $6 credit (having deducted the couple of artichokes we sampled). I said thank you, she (tall, thin, blond) walked away without either apologizing or even saying you're welcome.
I know this sounds silly, definitely first world problem but Guidos if you're reading this remember - folks like me are your bread and butter throughout the year. Treat your very loyal customers (which I am) and not just the summer time crowd, with a bit more courtesy.

As newcomers to the area, we decided to drive down to Pittsfield to check out this well-recommended grocery store. We were very underwhelmed. The prices are ridiculously high, which I can stomach for special items, but not much was special here. Service was slapdash and chaotic. The store was crowded and hard to navigate. Staff was uniquely unhelpful (looking at you deli counter). This store tries to be a Whole Foods but fails badly. So we will keep looking for a decent place for grocery shopping in the Berkshires.

3 Stars because - the place is nice and have just about everything that you can imagine to suit your culinary palate. The deli was chock full of great things to put between 2 slices of bread but they just don't put enough meat between the slices for the price they charge. The bread was hard as cement too.

Now I did like the hot & sweet pickle slices. They were a break from what I normally eat and the heat was subtle and crept up nicely.

I figured that because I was in New England that I'd try the New England Clam Chowder... I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and heat it up. Well, I got it and got back to the hotel, heated it up and... a dud firecracker in my mouth. No explosion, no fireworks... just... nothing.

Amanda loved her sandwich so I'm going to suggest to her that she gets on Yelp! and do her own review as I just wasn't that impressed.

This is the market that every town in America WISHES it had!
We always make a point to stop in when we are in town each year.
House-made Apple Cider Doughnuts in the Autumn rival any made at the farms in the area.

Terrific little market with the freshest of everything, and doing everything possible to protect the customers and staff during the pandemic.

Limiting the number of patrons inside - we had about a 5 minute wait - only two at a time max, gloves and sanitizer provided.

We grabbed fresh produce, including rare organic yams, live lobsters and a few other goodies. Nice wine selection too!

Checkout was a breeze with a smile and a laugh. Paper bags or your own.

The locals are lucky!
