Corti Brothers

The overview

Grocers of legendary taste since 1947

Corti Brothers has been Sacramento's landmark gourmet grocery since 1947, an East Sacramento institution credited with helping spark California's 'gourmet revolution' by importing olive oils, cheeses, and wines few American stores carried. Its deli builds the famous 'Corti Special' sandwich, and its house-made ravioli are said to be the oldest continuously produced food product in the city.

Old-fashioned in the best sense — a full-service butcher, cheese, and wine counter under one roof — Corti Brothers remains a beloved family grocer that has shaped how Sacramento eats.

A signal you can check.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Corti Brothers cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
