Great prepared food. Some sales are great others are only okay. Deli counter always has a line, but has a great selection. Too bad their circulars don't circulate well. Also, parking can suck.
Marino's is a wonderful mini supermarket with an Italian flair. The deli has delicious fresh deli meats (especially the Italian imports), as well as salads and prepared foods. The produce section is beautiful and vibrant. The aisles are chock full of standard products you can find anywhere, but there are also lots of Italian products that you don't normally see. For example Nutella, but not just the one that is made in Canada, but the one that is made in Italy (which really does taste better).
Some things are priced really well and cheap, that it makes you do a double take, but other things are on the expensive side. All in all, it is a great neighborhood place to shop and get your Italian on!
They honestly made my Christmas brighter with their quality of prosciutto and olives. Prosciutto is a tricky beast over here, even if it all comes from Parma. Met Foods prosciutto often tastes funky, and the new Fairway Market doesn't do the trick either as they slice it too thick. Marino's is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly thin, and cheaper than I expected at only $15 a pound.
I was nervous about getting the mixed olives, as I figured that they would be soggy, but the flesh was perfect and still firm, and also fairly priced.
Plus all the Italian sweets I grew up with under one roof. Its safe to say that everyone loves a Marino.
This place is all about the deli counter and meat…and it is amazing, a true neighborhood gem.
Marino's has the most flavorful and reasonably priced Italian deli foods in the area. Maybe in all of Queens! The level of quality has been consistently high for many years and I go there whenever I'm in the area.
My favorites; the marinated mozzarella knots! They come in two varieties, the garlic and herb and Italian spices. Both are delicious and very special. The fresh smoked mozzarella is amazing too, so much so, that I almost don't want to buy it because I know I'll be eating it waaaay too fast 🙂 We also recently got a fresh cut 1 lb. wedge of Reggiano Parmigiano (right off a huge wheel of cheese) that was perfectly sharp and delicious, possibly the best I've purchased in years, and far better than what you can get at the major supermarkets.
The deli meats are also spectacular, in particular the slicing Sopressata and prosciutto di Parma. They also do a splendid job on traditional cold cuts, smoked turkey, roast beef, etc.
They usually have anywhere from 5 to 10 guys frantically slicing away so you are sure to get fast service. Try not be intimidated by the ordering process. They work through the long line so fast that you can be standing close to the entrance, far away from the board with all the items being offered, when you hear a bold "NEXT!"
In the back you have a great assortment of steaks, chops, chicken, and sausage, and they seem to have a very good turnover so you are always assured a good piece of meat in my opinion, whatever you choose. In fact, almost every time I'm here, I see the butcher coming out with some fresh stock, refilling the case.
Just one aside, the regular stuff they sell, the household items, cereal, coffee, etc isn't usually a great value. I prefer to go to a store like Target for that, but in a pinch they do have other stuff. However, be prepared for $6 boxes of cereal and $12 bags of Starbucks coffee.
For me, Marino's gets a wholehearted 5 stars. Check it out if you get the chance.
Awesome prochutto, this review is for the wonderfully aged pork meat I had. Definitely looking forward to coming here one day, but for now I'll have to enjoy the meat that is brought to me. Love it.
I give this place a solid 3.5 stars.
The store is on the small side and the grocery part is simply ok. Nothing spectacular.
Where they do shine is their meat section and deli counter. The pre-made food is simply delicious and the Italian imports are even better. Plus 18.99 for imported prosciutto is a win any day of the week. And they slice it so thin you can see through it without it falling apart.
Although I've been to better Italian groceries this one does the job just fine.
This mini supermarket is awesome! When you walk in, the first thing you smell is the cheese (if you like cheese… you better like cheese)! The deli is incredibly long during lunch and dinner times… Here is the place you come for cheeses, meats, bread, and all your Italian groceries…. and giant glass bottles of Orangina……
Mmmm…. cheese……
