Jamon Serrano Riserva Compte Rarebird Mystery cheese  (Left to right)
Catherine M.

A favorite neighborhood staple. This cheese shop has such a wonderful variety from classics to unique. Made our cheese board with their Serrano ham, rarebird, compte, and a mystery soft cheese from their cheese graveyard. Love that they have small random cheeses at discounts. Perfect size for 1 or 2. The staff are wonderful and greet you immediately and are knowledgeable on what may suit your needs.

True cheesemonger, very knowledgeable and friendly. Not just simply answering questions yes/no but listening to you and able to have a conversation about choices. Not stuck up but also not over-eager. Great selection, quite robust. Appreciate there is no order weight minimum, so it's easy to try small amounts of new things. They sell baguettes but can't recall vendor. They have Lioni mozz in the back which tells you they know, and are, the right people. This is where I'd go to try new items, easily.

Hard to find true cheese stores these days but this is one of them. They have a lot of cheeses which I know little about. They also have some premade sandwiches which I do know about. The proscuitto and mozzarella one was a nice snack. Bread is good but a little chewy. Hard to bite into. They are mini sandwiches with barely any meat or cheese fyi. Nice snack. Would I come back for a sandwich? Probably not. If I need specialty cheeses... sure.

Amazing cheese spot, great selection from around the world. Super fresh, cut off the block and delicious. Will be back to try them all!

Truffle shuffle - sooooo creamy

Can't get enough of Stand Alone Cheese. Always the best selections for any occasion. I love how their team is always excited to suggest new things to try when I ask. I'm not a fan of blue cheese and now I am in love with the "mild" blue they suggested I tried during the holidays lol. Also, pick up their pistachio apricot crackers to go with your meats and cheese... they're the best!!!!

My two sandwiches: ham & butter and the other salami, prosciutto, ham

It smells like stinky old cheese, but it honors the name. The sandwiches are great. Just reheat in the oven, because they are given to you out of the fridge and are cold. I ordered the ham & butter as well as the prosciutto, salami, ham sandwich. Both were super delicious. I also bought a jar of Giardiniera (veggies soaked in vinegar) and also eggplant parmesan tomato sauce. They have other types of gift type items as well as cured European meats. There are tons of things think like for a picnic. The people working here are friendly and welcoming.

I did not know about this place until I started yelping cheese shops. During this time, I'm really trying to go to the small local businesses around my area, and I'm really happy that I found this place. I stopped by, and the store is small but cute. We were not allowed in, all orders were taken via online for pick up or you just order at the door (which is what I did). Order online, it'll make life easier for everyone! With that being said, the owner was super cool, very patient, and really helped me out with recommending cheeses. They have so many cheeses! Local and international, great prices, and a pretty large selection. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

I love my neighborhood cheese shop, so many selections and the seller is so patient, took his time to describes the type of cheese he had in the shop and let me taste them before purchasing.

a platter of meat and cheese

What a knowledgeable staff and wonderful selection of cheeses, meats, and condiments. My favorites were ossau iraty cheese and hot sopressata out of the 4 cheeses and meats I tried. I also liked the chocolate covered figs. Can't wait to go back and try more. The online ordering makes it super convenient.

Like, we-think-you-don't-have-a-day-job kind of late. Noon-ish. On a Tuesday. I don't know who their target demographic is, but it's not anyone with a functioning calendar. When you do manage to show up during their elusive open hours, you're greeted by... well, "greeted" is generous. The staff makes you feel like you interrupted their private cheese cult meeting. Don't expect warm conversation -- unless you're the cheddar. There are free samples, which I respect. If you're feeling broke and brave, you could turn it into a little snack crawl. And the cheese? It's fine. Not bad. Not transcendent. Just... cheese. Maybe you'll find something aged and interesting, or maybe you'll walk out wondering if Trader Joe's would've hit the same for less. Verdict: Free samples Absurd hours Staffed by dairy gatekeepers Cheese that says "eh," not "ooh"

I went in there to buy something that I knew was overpriced but when I asked about it, the guy behind the counter said oh I just put it away in the back, Like I just put it away and I don't wanna be bothered with having to get it back out. So I left. And this isn't the first time I've encountered this kind of experience with the employees who I guess the owners feels It's more important that the employees are happy than the customers are happy. i'll take my business to Whole Foods.

First: THE BEST FRESH MOZZ I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Not exaggerating, it is amazing! The owner told me he makes it fresh there hourly. I believe him. Melt in your mouth goodness. The sandwiches I ordered were fresh & delicious. Some really interesting sandwich combos on the menu. He makes all kind of yummy-looking Italian stalwarts like lasagna, chicken cutlets, hand-formed hamburger patties and the like. Everyone who was working there today were super nice too! This place going into my "Collections." We'll be back, soon & you should go & treat yourself!

Shocking to me that I've never reviewed Sorriso before. If you're Italian, coming here feels like…read moreshopping in your grandma's kitchen, or peeking into her refrigerator. It's a specialty food store (cash only) serving up incredible sandwiches, Italian salads, freshly made mozzarella and more. I love the chicken cutlets from here, the antipasto, the mozzarella and tomato salad, the calamari salad. I have still not come across anything I don't like at this place. I've been coming in here since I've lived in Astoria (that's almost 15 years) and every time I visit I find something new to try. Their heroes are delicious - the Italian sub has everything you could want on it, the eggplant parm hero is big enough to feed a small army. Service is friendly even when it's packed. Everyone here is happy to help you. Good food, good vibes.

It was an amazing sandwich--the mozzarella was so fresh and all the flavors melded well together. Great crunch of the ciabatta crust and the bread was fluffy inside. Portion size was also great for a $12 sandwich. Highly highly recommend. The shop has a lot of Italian imported goods and it was fun to look at the variety of things too.

From the moment we walked in, it was all that I wanted- reminiscent of the Italian shops and delis my parents would take me to when I was a kid. The ambiance told me right away that the sandwich I sought (the 'Casa') was going to be good....as did the two guys in line ahead of me, one who went so far as to say it would be life changing. Service was great- super helpful and patient as we perused the counter. Wanting to be thorough () we ordered two Casa's....one on Ciabatta, and one on a hero. First off....both bread vehicles were incredible. The hero was crunchy on the outside, perfectly soft on the inside, while the ciabatta was perfectly thin (allowing you to fully enjoy all of the fresh, delicious ingredients), with a golden crust. Just perfect. Oh yeah- the ingredients.... The Casa is filled with perfectly sliced prosciutto, house made mozzarella, sun dried peppers, and balsamic glaze. The balsamic tied everything together beautifully and was a wonderful touch to the sandwich, while the mozz....well...I'll say this... If you ask 10 people on Arthur Ave who makes the best Mozzarella around, and a good number of people are going to tell you it's Casa Della. And I'm here to tell you that their Mozzarella is the truth. It's delicious, creamy, flavorful...it's the kind of stuff that will have you standing in front of the establishment, Casa in hand (and mouth) without a care in the world, or whether or not people are staring at you while you scarf or down. It's that good. Also- prices are extremely reasonable, and you receive a ton of value for your dollar. Casa Della Mozzarella is not just the Casa. They are a fully loaded market and deli, loaded with everything you need, whether for a quick lunch on the go, or to supply dinner or your fridge at home. Definitely a can't miss, must check out spot.
