I bought a bag of frozen panelle and made them for dinner last night. They were absolutely fabulous, imported from Sicily and very authentic tasting. I served them in between bread, with a squeeze of lemon on top. My whole family was very satisfied with dinner. My kids also love their imported Italian peach iced tea, which I bought there. It was definitively worth the trip into Queens to buy them!

I think Valentino food market is an important asset to the neighborhood, it's serving great produce and products, sometimes hard to find items and reasonable prices. It's a little hectic but it's also part of the charm. Valentino is a staple in Ridgewood community

I do not recommend this place! The cashiers are constantly talking, they have no respect for the customer. They don't say anything to the customer, they just talk to each other! All the cashiers on the morning shift are very unpleasant! all To be replaced! They just gossip among themselves!!!!!

The best food market in the neighborhood, very clean and friendly staff. Food selection is really good and they have genuine Italian specialities.

Deli counter has a wide variety of cold cuts and cheeses that are fairly priced. There’s also a hidden butcher’s counter in the back corner of the store with the nicest guy getting your meats. He carries slab bacon, chicken, and homemade sausages. I think there’s beef and pork, too, but I’ve only ever bought the chicken sausage and bacon. There’s a large variety of produce that’s mostly always been fresh. Have had a few occasions when it only lasted for two days. Lots of imported canned and dry Italian goods. Prices for the Italian canned tomatoes is the best I’ve found anywhere in Queens. The store is pretty much always crowded and you’ll have to walk around and/or wait behind workers restocking the shelves. Staff is all about business and getting everyone through the line.

Great neighborhood produce market with some of the best prices around. Inside/outside shopping. Very fresh fruits and vegetables, a few other items as well. Narrow aisles for carts inside, but very quick checkout unless really busy. Rewards program - occasional dollars off for every couple hundred dollars spent.

Everytime I pay at Vassava's register, she overcharges me. She adds things I don't buy and she uses wrong codes for produce resulting to getting charged more. Same thing happened to my family members as well from the same person. Not sure what she's getting out of it but it must change.

Really good produce store with pretty good prices on most items. If it's expensive it's going to be even more elsewhere. Nice Italian food selection inside as well. I was shopping here before I lived up the street from them. Worth the walk good luck driving and parking.

One of the few great Italian places left . Great prices and produce. Their imported parmigiano reggiano is lovely. Deli meats fantastic. Butcher selection has great bundle packs which i recommend getting than from a regular store, much fresher. Little taste of italy

Usually the cashiers' attitude was poor on years before pandemic, now 2023 improved. And their raw foods and resources sold in this Italian supermarket, are in better quality than in the new Mexican supermarket nearer the M train subway down there at Fresh Pond Road. Their vegetables and fruits were not so good in other supermarket in Mexican. I mean, their vegetables and chilis are fresh, as I started to come here frequently since this last Friday August 25, 2023. Guessed that this good reason for this Italian supermarket is why there are so many shoppers in here everytime I came, even on quiet Sunday mornings.
