Piedimonte's Supermarket & Liquor, North Fitzroy

Brilliant old school Italian supermarket with fresh deli, butcher groceries and fruit and veg. Magnificent cafe upstairs with excellent coffee and house made toasties, donuts, cakes and service from Brontë and the team. Incredibly cheap price for what it is with free basic donut with any coffee or a $10 toastie and coffee or $8 cake and coffee deal. A North Fitzroy institution and one of the best kept secrets in the ‘Roy

They consistently sell old and not fresh food. Far too often I've purchased meat from them and opened the package to it smelling off and having to throw it away. I am not someone particularly fussy about food expiry, so this means a lot coming from me. I often find that the beef has been sprayed with that stuff that makes it deceivingly pink and fresh looking on the outside, only to be grey and extremely pungent on the inside. I have gotten a belly ache from their meat on the times I tried to cook and eat anyways. It's unacceptable to sell expired food and make people sick.not just once, but regularly. They consistently have shriveled and brown artichokes for sale. Their prices are astronomical too as an IGA in Fitzroy North. This is not an instance of a small business struggling to make money or being understaffed. This is pure greed and lack of regard for their customers. People will pay BC it's the only big supermarket in the area. They have a monopoly in the area and clearly have no ethics around food safety or customers.

I go to this place. Bought my favorite tiramisu as other people too. Go straight to the cashier with just the tiramisu. Same as the lady in front of me, She only bought Tiramisu. The lady has been served properly with this registration's staff. (OLD LADY, CASHIER 5) But when its time to my turn to pay, she was being very rude, she ask, "is this yours? " (pointing to my tiramisu) and "just that? ". Not even said thank you. No greetings, Not even offer a copy of receipt. Just because i'm asian and you treat me different mam? I pay my tiramisu, not stealing it. And i deserve a good service same as other people. I'm Not even ask an excellent customer service, just a good one. HAVE A GOOD DAY!

This IGAs is pretty good. A little expensive with some products, but if you do go there, be sure to check out their deli and their bakery. They have THE BEST fresh cakes, pasties, pies, rolls, bread etc etc. They also do a great coffee upstairs. Definitely worth a visit!

Very outdated shopping complex. Narrow and not very friendly. It’s a “ It’ll do shop “ also quite expensive

Large, good supermarket. Fine selection as well as cheaper options. Produce is always good quality and fresh. Charming old building. Fun to go to.

Convenient but your garlic will pretty often be mouldy when you buy it. Brilliant if you’re keen on only using the non mouldy half!

Great selection of cheeses and a really well stocked deli. Fruit and veg is always good quality too.

The manager (?) /one of the employees was staring me and my friends the moment we walked in.we were literally just shopping and then my friend went to take her bereal and the same lady shouted at us to “stop snapchating” very aggressively.we literally were not in the way or anything or attracting that much attention, we were literally just taking a photo.so we moved to a different aisle to cause less of a disturbance and she FOLLOWED us through the store and told us off again, not giving us a reason why she was kicking us out AND not letting us finish our shopping.she just said, “get out now, or”. Thats literally it.so we left.then obviously we went back in bc we werent done with our shopping and the moment we walked back in, every single employee was staring us down the whole time we were there.and she was following us again. NEVER shopping there again, employees are rude and didnt trust us for taking a photo?

Head of cashiers (?) (dyed blonde hair, old) aggressively shouted “this is not a photoshoot” to my friends and i as we were taking our BeReal.we apologised and moved to a different aisle that had no one in it, she followed us and proceeded to yell at us to “stop snap chatting” and then told us “you can either get out now or” she created a scene and told the other workers that we were “snap chatting” as we paid and left.we reentered the store to buy icecream and immediately all the workers were staring us down making us feel uncomfortable.we walked into aisle 2 for icecream and immediately there were loudspeaker announcements saying to “keep an eye on aisle 2”. The cashiers eyes widened when she saw us as we were paying.this is unnacceptable treatment and i know this is probably not the first time something like this has happened.the workers here need to chill out and be humbled.

Traditional Mediterranean supermarket with a focus on Italian produce. Worth a visit for that fresh panini, cured meats and cheeses. Highly recommended

A really top place to do all sorts of shopping. Opens early and closes late. Really top and helpful staff.

This would surely have to be one of the best places to do shopping at. They have such a great selection of nearly everything and I always look forward to coming here

I shop here regularly. Great old time Italian Supermarket. Good, friendly staff and it brings back good memories from the 1960s.

Like going here for some of the more random selections you will not find at the other big stores. So many options for hard Italian cheeses.

Good supermarket around Fitzroy area, you can get what you want, but not fancy or good quality stocks and variety.

L9ve the coffee n dohnut Cafe upstairs. Used the printing and internet service opens 7am. Friendly ladies. Bottleshop staff helpful too.

"We serve to serve again", same motto still rings true. Some very well priced and affordable items in the chic glam North of the Fitz. Well done Piedemontes for staying it so long for the community.

This place has absolutely everything you could possibly want, everything from extensive food range/brand/options to key cutting, photo printing (upstairs), arts n crafts, homewares, party supplies, it has a mini officeworks upstairs (not a real officeworks, but products you would find at officeworks), alcohol, flowers, plants, lots of plant based products, very woke, a bit on the pricey side but worth it

Excellent selection of hard to find products from all around the world. Top notch staff and always fresh produce.
