2025 Centurion Award winner
Corti Brothers
Best Grocery Institution in Sacramento · Sacramento, CA
Best Grocery Institution in Sacramento · Sacramento, CA
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.

This page is the standing record for Corti Brothers (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
