I recently visited **Angelo Caputo's Fresh Market** at 3115 111th St, Naperville, IL, and it was an absolute delight! This family-owned gem, established in 1958, is a standout in the Chicagoland area for its commitment to quality, freshness, and an unbeatable shopping experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that made grocery shopping feel like an adventure.
The **produce section** is a highlight—stocked daily with the freshest fruits and vegetables at incredible prices. Their buyers hit the market at 4 AM to ensure top-notch quality, and it shows! I found everything from crisp apples to exotic produce I hadn’t seen elsewhere, all beautifully displayed. The **Italian bakery**, La Bella Romana, is a must-visit. Their homemade cakes, authentic Italian cookies, and freshly baked breads (made from Romana Caputo’s own recipes!) are out of this world. I grabbed a gourmet cupcake and some crusty artisan bread that made my dinner unforgettable.
The **deli counter** is another star, offering premium imported and domestic meats and cheeses sliced to order. They even have a dedicated gluten-free slicer, which is a game-changer for those with dietary needs. The seafood and meat departments are equally impressive, with all-natural options and family packs that make high-quality cuts affordable. I was blown away by the variety, including fresh squid and octopus that made me wish I lived closer to whip up a seafood feast!
What sets Caputo’s apart is their dedication to customer service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, whether it’s picking out the perfect cheese or finding a hard-to-get ingredient. They also cater to diverse dietary needs with a solid selection of organic and gluten-free products, plus an entire aisle dedicated to international goods—perfect for exploring cuisines from Italy, Poland, Croatia, and beyond.
The store itself is clean, well-organized, and even offers fun perks like a bar where you can grab a drink while shopping! With convenient online ordering, curbside pickup, and same-day delivery via Instacart, Caputo’s makes it easy to get their amazing products. I also love that they offer full-service catering for events, complete with gift certificates and online recipes to inspire your next meal.
