I just came from Marino's Grocery at 163-07 29th Avenue, Flushing NY, 11358. I went with my husband to get groceries and as we were getting ready to check out the owner approached my husband and called him a different name (he called him Terry and my husband's name is Antonio), accused him of having previously stolen hundreds of dollars worth of meat with another guy who have never heard of (Chris). He told my husband he had him on video and when my husband asked to see the video, he told us he doesn't need a reason he just doesn't want him there and we need to leave immediately. We were ejected from the store, threatened with the police and told we are not allowed to shop there any longer. This came out of left field and it was humiliating. I'm also heartbroken because I love this store and I go there frequently. I am disabled and there are not many grocery stores nearby. We are shocked and humiliated. read more

I came in wanting to visit along time ago and it was underwhelming. If i wanted fresh mozz or fresh italian bread this would be my goto. but it seemed like a keyfood with some italian specialties instead of a uncle giusseppes read more

A staple in the North Flushing area, this place is an old school Italian market stocking imported Italian goods, ranging from specialty cheeses, cured meats, pastas, marinara sauces, olives, breads and select Italian treats. Everything in the deli is fresh and put out daily. The employees are fast and cut the meat any way you want it. There are many options, you can't go wrong. Other grocery items, such as the basics; dairy, meats, fish, detergent, paper towels, coffee - one could easily make this a one-stop shopping excursion. Do yourself a favor and try the house made cheeses, I guarantee you'll be coming back for years. A business is always great when management can maintain a relationship with the community as evident by the manager (sorry, didn't get his name) coming out to give money to support the local Boys Scouts as the kids were fundraising outside the store. read more

MY experience in this supermarket was terrible... i have found mouses running around and i walk right out but this was not the first time, one time before one of the worker picked up a dead mouse in front of me with his bare hands and simply throwing it in the garbage can this is simply gross and disgusting ?? Maria the wife of the owner is extremely arrogant, low class, extremely snob to deal with. i will never go to this place again. Period read more

This place went downhill fast NO Longer fresh product i bought streaks had them next day removed them from package and they were all brown on their bottom read more

Really cool little neighborhood market. It obviously doesn't have everything that a regular size supermarket has. But, what it does have is charm, friendly staff, a nice deli section, and a decent selection of specialty foods/gourmet cheeses, etc. It feels like a mom and pop owned market, not one of them impersonal corporate chain supermarkets. read more

I've been going here for years for my cold cuts. They also have the best fresh mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes. Good service and friendly people! read more

I echo sentiments of other reviews, especially during the pandemic. Thank you Marino's for keeping us well fed and supplied during this time. Your hard work and dedication to serving the community is evident and has been priceless. We appreciate your organized store, smartly stocked shelves, the ability to get items that are in demand and your hard working, pleasant staff. A supermarket is a front-line service, and this community has been well served by Marino's! read more

This is one of my favorite supermarkets. I love that they have a cold bar you can order from. The staff at the cold bar are always very friendly and happy to help. The tuna salad is so good that I always get it whenever I go there. Their produce is always very fresh. Everything is very organized here and it's easy to find whatever you're looking for. They even have homemade fig jams which is pretty neat. I also love the fact that they have Entenmann's cakes! You can never go wrong with those. I really hope this supermarket stays here forever bc it's such a cute and cozy market. There's nothing like it within this area. Will definitely be back! Recommend? 10 out of 10 :) read more

I love their new store! It's always super clean and very well stocked. Everybody is very friendly and they all provide a warm greeting every time you come in!! Makes you feel good, like you're family.. lol Anyway, It's nice to have a smaller, high quality, ITALIAN market in the neighborhood again. Their deli counter is unbelievable! They have a large selection of prepared foods that are delicious and also make hugeee delicious sandwiches and other things. As far as PPE goes, they are extremely clean! Definitely my go to place. The cashiers wipe down the credit card terminal after each customer and wear clean gloves and face masks. The guys wash down the carts often as well. Go check it out and be the judge! read more

I was recommended to this market, Marino's located in a fine neighborhood. the whole shop was neat and organized, they have got everything, a lots of imported goods, noticeably many items from Italy. At the dairy, the counters were very proud themselves and indeed a lots of amazing stuffs and I will explore further next time. read more

I live in the Midwest. We don't have places like this and the ones we do have aren't as large and don't have this vast of a selection. The amount of premade salads and marinated peppers was amazing. There was any kind of Italian meat available. I went shopping with my friend in order to pick up some ingredients to make pizzas at home. The meatballs from Marino's were to die for. Great store. read more

Love this market. Always need a good Italian market around. I'm here at least once a week. The deli is phenomenal offering a wide variety of Italian meats and cheeses. Produce is always fresh. Amazing how well stocked they remained during the pandemic/shutdown. I didn't have to go anywhere else for my groceries, including flour which was a hard find then. A huge plus is the genuine friendliness of ALL of the employees I've encountered. This is rare if ever! This good vibe means so much and is too often overlooked by business owners. 5 well earned stars! read more

Marinos is a good addition to the neighborhood. There are some positive and negative issues in the market. The product is very good as compared to other markets. The deli department needs help,as many times I have not received what I asked for.There are a couple of cashiers that are totally incompetent. The most embarrassing moment is when Celeste had no knowledge of calculating tax on a bill.Her attitude has to go also,it just shows lack of knowledge and experience. Shame on you Celeste, but unfortunately this is the world we live in today. read more

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. read more

Brendan M. 06/13/2022 @ 2:20pm, I spent 20 minute's today, watching your deli man making two sandwiches... that's not good! So, my thinking is - you don't really want to make sandwiches - just slice cold cuts and serve prepare salads and appetizers. Actually, i confirmed this as I was speaking to a gentleman who ordered several items, sliced cold cuts and containers of salads for several people back at his office & he was out the door while I was still waiting for (2) sandwiches. read more

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. read more

Hello Brendan, Thank you for reaching out but there're a couple of things I would like to bring to your attention. First and for most, there have been plenty of times where I've returned ground chop meat from the meat department because it was gray. I don't know about you but ground chop meat isn't suppose to be gray. Even the meatballs from the deli are gray. I've never ever had meatballs that were gray. Second, I noticed that throughout the past couple of weeks when I pick up food from the deli, the white label printed on the plastic container doesn't tell you the date when you picked up the food. Lastly, alot of the people working behind the deli are very rude and nasty. I could understand if sometimes it gets busy but there's absolutely no reason whatsoever why I should be spoken to like a child especially the individual with the blonde gold tee. Thank you! read more

I love that this is my neighborhood market! If you're getting something from the deli counter, which everybody does, don't let the line intimidate you. There are so many counter guys that the wait isn't as bad as it looks. Unless you know when to go, then you really have nothing to worry about. Favorites include fresh salted mozzarella, the marinated bocconcini, homemade turkey breast (so juicy!) and roast beef, sausage & peppers, tripe in sauce, and their homemade vodka & marinara sauces - sold by the pint and quart. Definitely check out their catering menu and Wilson will hook you up with whatever you need! They also offer free delivery and setup. Don't miss the packaged Italian sweets in front of the deli counter. My equally favorite thing about Marino's is the staff. I've lived a block away forever and it's always comforting seeing friendly familiar faces (some of whom have aged, me not so much) whether it's in the market or around the neighborhood. read more

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...... read more

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! read more

Friendly helpful owner, manager and employees. Extremely clean, fully stocked store with an amazing deli counter full of delicious varieties. read more

I bought a package of chicken burgers stuffed with spinach and feta cheese recently. After baking it in oven, I took a big bite out of one and got a ball of dirt in my mouth. Perhaps the spinach wasn't washed thoroughly before it was mixed with the ground chicken I brought it back right away and showed it to one of the owners, and instead of apologizing, he was defensive. "This couldn't have happened; Everything here is clean", he said. I'm thinking to myself, why would I waste my time and drive 20 minutes to this market if this is how I am going to be treated. Never Again. read more

The best market- hands down. It is the quintessential NYC neighborhood gem. Marinos has enough of everything- even in a pandemic. The deli counter, cooked foods and butcher are outstanding. read more

Returned to Marino's again for roast beef, ital. bread and salads A non-cooking night for the Mrs. Let me say that D'Alasandro's had the best roast beef in the world but yet, the worst salads. I rejected the first RB that was shown but another employee offered to open a new one. Looked much better but not great. Had to settle for it. Also ordered 1/2 lb of homemade pot. salad & mac salad. The RB with salt, pepper & mayo on it tasted good but not great. About 2 steps below what D'AL sold. The salads were very good, about 3 steps above D'al's. On my way out I decided to pick up some tomatoes. As I grabbed a plastic bag to put them in, I noticed a tip cup underneath the bags. WTH (heck) is this? I looked at the veg stand behind me and saw the same thing. Who am I tipping and for what? Hopefully it's the farmers. lol read more

Been shopping here since I moved to the Bowne Park neighborhood in 1983. Always was happy being here and found that whatever crazy thing I needed, they somehow had it. Satisfied customer. Today was extra special though---Brendan the manager saw I was having a bad morning and asked how he could help. He got me the giant Snapple's that my son loves, carried the 6 giant bottles to the sweetest lady, Sylvana, and then put them and all my other stuff in my car trunk. Thanks Brendan. You made my day. Appreciate the family feeling I get when I come there. Hope I spelled all your names correctly. read more

Only place in the neighborhood to buy good cheese, Italian salumeria, and European products. They have a beautiful selection of fresh, high quality meat also. Good sales on produce. read more

Brendan....if you appreciated my feedback this conversation would have gone in a totally different direction......so please don't talk to me about honesty......and on one thing we do agree.....I too am sorry that it was necessary to write this review. read more

Marino's Supermarket is great and a staple in our neighborhood. Many varieties in the deli and the manager, Brendan, is friendly and attentive to the customers needs. The down side are some of the the people who work in the deli. I have read from other postings complaining about rudeness and outright nastiness. Well, it is true. There is a certain gentleman which, I am biting my lip not to name, really irks me. I am a frequent customer and I always tried to avoid him from serving me. From past visits, I have heard this guy belittled non English speaking customers who try their best to order on what they need. This is totally uncalled for and I don't say anything. So, on a recent visit, this gentleman tried to pull his shenanigans with me but I wasn't going to stand for it any longer. I reported him to Brendan so hopefully his attitude improves for the customers sake. Brendan, You know who he is... This is the same nasty deli person, the blond guy with the goatee, that Sam L had issues with on his recent review on 12/24/19. read more

I went grocery shopping here for Valentine's Day and I'm so glad I did. I ordered 1.025 pound of prosciutto for $19.46 and it tasted like just the one I ate in Rome. I paired it with Manchego and their homemade salted mozzarella. YOU MUST TRY THEIR HOMEMADE MOZZARELLA! I thought the man was hyping it up about how good it is, but my whole family was in love. I bought all the ingredients here to make dinner and I could never be more happy with the results! read more

This type of deli is a dying breed in the New York but has maintained reasonable prices despite rising rents and no hassle internet alternatives. Customer service is great but expect long lines on the weekends. My only regret are the non-existent Prosciutto Di Palma options replaced by the cheaper mass produced offerings read more

The deli dept. is terrible. It looks a lot better than it tastes. The men behind the counter have attitudes.The meat dept is pretty good.Parking is terrible.I cannot understand all the 5 star reviews here. The store is cramped. read more

I come here solely for the deli department. The salads are so fresh and delicious. My favorite are the seafood salads. They change them up. They make an excellent shrimp and crab meat with mayo salad as well as a seafood salad which has cold shrimp and calamari. Definitely not cheap, about $9.99 a lb, but 100 times better than what you find at Waldbaums. Cold cuts are top notch and have all of your Italian favorites such as one of mine like Mortadella. Nice variety of cheeses in block and cut up. I haven't even mentioned a quarter of what they have. You really have to stop in and check out everything behind the deli counter. All of it looks so appetizing. You will easily walk out over budget and with more than what you came in for. Traditional Italian mom and pop mini supermarket where the staff is friendly. Much rather give them my money over the dirty chains like Trade Fair.that litter Queens. read more

I'd like to take a moment to thank the Marino's staff for keeping us safe and well fed though out the pandemic. I appreciate your hard work and thank you all! read more

Deli counter is awesome. They're family owned and a much smaller place than the big chain supermarkets. They seem like they're a little more expensive sometimes as well. I've gotten catered food here for some last minute get togethers and everything has always been excellent. You can call and order over the phone, pre pay via credit card and then just run in and pick it up when its ready. If they're busy it can be a little crazy in there. Since its smaller the aisles are smaller and it can be annoying to weave around people. The parking situation isn't the best either as its street parking only. read more

Best Italian market around. From the homemade mozzarella to the homemade potato salad, you won't be disappointed. They make hot and cold sandwiches and they have anything you want. Don't shop here when you're hungry, because you'll end up buying anything you see. Thanks Marino's for being in Whitestone! read more

Most of the time their food is good. But I got a couple of breaded chicken cutlets that could have doubled as shoe leather.
