Thanos market was clean and cozy, filled with lots of European grocery items on the shelves and cheeses, sausage, hummus and drinks in the cold case. (Other items too). Their deli selection is nice, with choices like mortadella, ham, turkey, salamis and cheeses. I ordered small containers of their Antipasto, Tomato and Cucumber salad and Marcona almonds. I also bought a bag of Grain free crackers. There are two tables inside and one outside, almost everyone I saw came to pick up their food. I sat at the front window and had a little picnic. The Antipasto had a nice mix of meats, cheese and olives some were a little spicy, the cucumber and tomato salad was mostly tomatoes, but no complaints as it was very good with red onion and I think a little basil. Their sandwiches are on stretch bread from a local bakery, "Pastabilities Daily Bread". Definitely worth a visit!
yum!!! we order for lunch at work all the time and it never disappoints and the owners are so friendly and accommodating!
Thanos is a gem of a store in the Hawley-Green neighborhood. They sell a variety of food items including meats and cheeses from their deli. They also make sandwiches. The Thanos Sandwich is outstanding! The cheese has a little bit to it, which I like. Thanos is well worth going out if your way to visit.
Found this place looking for a certain dressing and glad I did. What I found was a great staff going above and beyond for their customer. Lucked out, today's homemade soup was Italian Wedding, one of my favorites and their soup did not disappoint. Some of the best. Sandwiches are very good and salads are large. Great place to find your italian goodies. Wide selection. Pictures do not do justice.
I'd like to propose this as a new sandwich called The Altered State lol. I changed the Mortadella to turkey and the provolone to fresh Mozzarella, then added Cukes and Lettuce with some of their balsamic glaze. It was as wonderful a sandwich as I expected mmmm
My husband and I stopped at Thanos for an impromptu lunch today, and I'm really glad we chose to do so. First off, I was expecting a kind of average looking, hole in the wall style deli. When we pulled up, the storefront was beautiful; much more like a gourmet spot than a corner store. There are large windows in the front, and absolutely gorgeous planters spilling over with flowers. I was pleasantly surprised before I even stepped inside. Once in the store, it was a smorgasbord of high quality foods, both in terms of ingredients and prepared goods. Coarse sea salt, baklava, massive wheels of smoked Gouda and Parmesan; if it's Green or Italians origin, you name it and they had it. For lunch, I ordered "The State" sandwich, an Italian mix with mortadella and muffuletta spread (photo attached.) It was fantastic: zesty, full of fresh meat, perfect bread (crisp outside, soft yet chewy inside.) I added banana peppers, onions and lettuce. The biggest treat for me was that they had fresh figs for 50 cents each at the register. I purchased two, and ate them both within the hour. Overall, this is a very special little spot. Warm, super competent customer service, top notch quality and variety food in a lovely atmosphere. Well worth the stop, and I'm bookmarking it for all future trips to Central/Western NY.
In 1919, World War I had recently come to an end and Prohibition was looming just ahead. It was also the year that the Thanos family opened a small food market just north of downtown Syracuse. Thanos Import Market was located at or near the intersection of North Salina and Pearl Street, in the neighborhood known as Little Italy, for 97 years. Now, the shop that sells Greek, Italian and Mediterranean specialty foods resides in a new neighborhood,as it relocated to 105 Green St., in the heart of the historic Hawley-Green neighborhood on the city's near North Side. I went to Thanos to try out a fresh sandwich for lunch, but discovered much more. It offers aged cheeses, salami and other cold cuts, house-marinated olives, pastas, beans, olive oils, spices, and more. They also offer selections from big name brands that aren't easily accessible in CNY, such as Boar's Head and Dr. Browns soda. Thanos offers all that plus an expanded selection of cheeses and breads. It has also broadened its outlook beyond imports: Many of the items are local, like DiLauro Bakery rolls from the North Side, Pasta Shoppe pasta from Utica and Lively Run cheeses from the Finger Lakes. And the bread they serve their sandwiches on is local Pastas stretch bread. I ordered their Burnet sandwich, which is what they call their Buffalo chicken sandwich. If you read my reviews, you know I try buffalo chicken anything. The sandwich came on the aforementioned Pastas stretch bread with homemade blue cheese and hot American cheese. I went ahead and also added lettuce, tomato and banana peppers. The sandwich was good. Pastas stretch bread is great bread for sandwiches. The blue cheese spread was a tad too strong for my taste and I didn't get too much of the buffalo flavor coming through, but it was a good sandwich nonetheless. Their sandwiches only cost $8, so not a bad deal. My wife turned me on to this place when she went for her own sandwich for lunch one day and loved it. I believe I would've enjoyed one of their other sandwich offerings more. You can tell from the quality ingredients they use that their sandwiches are good. Their employees are also super friendly and personable. I'll definitely be back.
Came for some goodies for NYE; husband grabbed some soup, everything is fresh, and the staff is wonderful. Go, You won't be disappointed!
I've been here before, but this was my first time purchasing a sandwich. The ingredients were top quality and it was delicious. It was also quite filling. Wow! I highly recommend this place!

I've heard a lot about this market, but didn't realize how close it was to me. I actually accidentally stumbled in here today while searching for a nearby shop. I had packed lunch, but it smelled so good in here I had to give it a try. They have salads, sandwiches on Pasta's fresh bread, and other sides. The shelves are stocked with all sorts of pasta, sauces, etc. I almost wanted to spend the rest of my day in here, even if it was just taking a seat and looking out the window. I decided to try the State St sandwich. It was so fresh and delicious. I can tell they put a lot of care into their preparation. You can call to order ahead if you're on a time crunch. I will definitely be back! read more

How amazingly beautiful is this import market??? It has such a nostalgic and comforting feel to it. Immediately upon entering, I felt so welcomed. Before ordering, I took a few moments to explore the market, and I absolutely loved the items items that I came across. Fresh imported cheese, olives, jams, sauces, pastas, and so much more. This market is truly a "foodies paradise." I finally made my way to the counter where I placed my order. I was greeted by the owners, who were both extremely kind. I ordered The Catherine, and my daughter chose a fresh salad which was loaded with veggies, fruit & I gorgonzola cheese. The Catherine was such a simple sandwich but absolutely delicious!!! The fresh baked bread they serve their sandwiches on is AMAZING! It had been a while since I last visited Thanos, but I can assure you I will never stay away this long again. Phenomenal!!!! read more

Truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Everyone needs to try this place at some point if you are in the area. The Thanos is also really good but the Green with some kind of meat is my go-to now. The vibe of the store is also fantastic. I highly recommend! read more

Truly a "gem" of a market. Without doubt one of the best sandwiches you'll ever eat!!! Everything is sliced to order and of the highest quality on Pasta's stretch bread. For those if you possibly not familiar, it's from the Pastabilities restaurants own bakery. "The State" is one of my favorites although you can't go wrong with any of them. Oh, and good luck trying to leave without buying some other market goodies and a couple loaves of that stretch bread!!! read more

Say CHEESE! This is a charming neighborhood cheese shop with friendly staff and great curb appeal. The interior is just as cute as the exterior. My BF and I got to try free samples of delicious manchego cheese. We bought a $5 sour cherry jam. We love sour cherry and have never seen sour cherry jam sold elsewhere. They sell a variety of olive oils, cheeses, meats and jams. I look forward to coming back to try more cheeses. You're allowed a sample if you ask for one. They have two tables inside where you can sit and enjoy your sandwiches. There is no outdoor seating. If you're trying to have a fancy adult party with a charcuterie board full of nice cheeses and jams, come here! read more

The cutest little neighborhood Greek shop serving fare from all over Europe, a lot of it from local vendors. The lady behind the counter is like that sweet aunt in your family that everyone goes to when they need to vent or just a hug. She really cares about this shop and has stories for days. Try their sandwiches, super fresh and so delicious. I ordered mine to go and by the time I actually unwrapped it the melted cheese had congealed but the flavors more than made up for it. They also have a rotating selection of sweets like baklava and cookies, which they do not make in house. If you're looking for a quick bite in Hawley-Green, head to Thanos. Just mind their hours. They close pretty early. read more

A super cute Greek deli with delicious sandwiches and friendly staff! I had The Catherine sandwich and it did not disappoint. I also picked up a brownie for a sweet snack later on. ;) I had a chat with the woman at the register who I believe is the owner. She was incredibly nice and took a moment to have a little conversation with me. I recommend visiting if you're in the area. Great food and experience. read more

Thanos is a hidden gem of the city of Syracuse. It is a small Italian market where people can order sandwiches, salads, and buy Italian meats and cheeses. The market does not have that many workers but has great service and the quality of their products are excellent. They have such a friendly atmosphere and the food is always prepared freshly in front of you. The staff is always willing to give you samples of the food if you would like to try something. On the weekends, it is fairly busy, so I suggest calling in your orders. They do take phone orders, and sometimes in person they are slower considering there is usually only two people who work there at once. read more
