STOP BY OUR STORES
OYTERS & CAVIER
Oysters are perfect for a special occasion — especially when they’re our stunningly fresh, premium oysters. Want to take things over the top? Finish each one with a generous dollop of our exquisite caviar. The creaminess of the oysters will beautifully match the briny pop of the roe, and make for a seriously luxurious starter.
Stop by our markets to check out our selection.
LIVE LOBSTERS
Our Nova Scotia lobsters are the crème de la crème. The rich, sweet white meat pairs beautifully with butter, but you can also make lobster bisque, lobster risotto, or another elegant dish.
GAMBERO
Our Gambero Rosso Shrimp — a Citarella exclusive — are caught in the warm Mediterranean waters of Sicily. They’re juicy and deeply flavorful, with sweet notes that will keep you coming back for more.
Our filet mignon is dry-aged for 21 days for unbelievably tender, flavorful meat.
Also aged for 21 days, this steak boasts deep flavor (which just so happens to pair wonderfully with lobster).
We blend fresh potatoes with truffle butter for incredible flavor. The finishing touch? Shaved truffles with olive oil. It doesn’t get better than that.
Our luxurious creamed spinach is made extra-luscious with cream; savory, nutty Parmigiano Reggiano; and a hint of garlic.
Treat your valentine (or yourself!) to a romantic dessert by picking up one of our heart-shaped cakes. They’re freshly baked, hand-decorated, and simply stunning. Choose from two sizes:
Individually Sized Cakes
Cheesecake • Opera Cake • Red Velvet Cake • Chocolate Flourless Cake • Maracaibo Cake
Large Cakes
Mango Mousse • Opera Cake • Red Velvet Cake

Cookies and Brownies
Want to switch things up? Instead of chocolate, give a box of our adorable, decorated Valentine’s themed cookies, heart-shaped Linzer cookies, or decadent, fudgy brownies.
