There isn't a place in the country like Merante's market. Mama used to send us there to get cold cuts and peppers for... lunch. Still the same today!!read more

Small shop that has been a staple of this community forever. Oakland is normally regarded as a food desert, but this... place has great priced food, to the point where I will still travel to Oakland after graduating because the cuts are so inexpensive, and they have so much that you can just throw in the oven. Staff is always super friendly and helpful.read more

Best Italian hoagies in oakland! Go early and have one made fresh with awesome Italian bread. Its a small family owned... store, but packed with tons of goodies! Stocked with the basics, but also carries imported items you wont find at the big grocery stores!read more

way overpriced. a lot of things don't have prices listed. $5 for a block of butter is ridiculous. cannolis taste ok,... not worth the $8read more

I absolutely love Merantes! I have been going there for 3+ years and have always felt welcomed. They don't gouge... students for fresh produce and the homemade, ready-made food is delicious! Whenever I am in Oakland I always make a point to stop by.read more

Been coming here for over 20 years and they are soon to celebrate 40 years in business! The people are so nice, the... fresh produce and prices are the best around and they always have good quality stock. Excellent import goods, too. The deli is fantastic! You can get a giant hoagie on an entire huge loaf of Italian bread for about $10. Easy feeds two hungry guys. So at $5/each, its THE best lunch in Oakland, although there's no way that's all you're leaving with. Late spring, look for great deals on fresh herbs and beautiful herb gardens they put together in one big pot for you to take away. FANTASTIC!!! A true institution in South Oakland. Do yourself and your soul a favor and go pay them a visit. It will not be your last!read more

This classic grocery/deli is a landmark. They stock cold cans of every flavor of San Pellegrino "aranciata".
