good but way overpriced – good deli, good meat department but the prices are much too high, even for ny.
Fresh Meat – I don't come here that often, but that's not because I don't want to. You definitely get what you pay for and a visit to the meat department here is worth every penny. They actually have butchers and they know what they're talking about. I love the fresh pasta too.
Questionable Cleanliness – I have shopped there a few times and I like the fresh pastas. I walked by late a few nights ago and peered into the windows. I noticed mouse traps on the floors. The next morning, I saw some questionable droppings around the store. Raisins, I think not. I actually took the time to look into the open kitchen. Everyone in there is sweaty and I won't be surprised if sweat drops into the cooking. I bolted and I don't think I will be shopping there anymore.
New York WITHOUT Attitude?! – MIXY checked me out. I didn't get that barking command to empty my own basket--unlike one major grocer whose name I will mention because they're so NOTORIOUSLY RUDE, Food Emporium, avoid the 3rd Ave (they are the worst)--but rather MIXY chirpily emptied my items scanning quickly, and carefully handled fruit and delicate items, placing them gently aside to load on top of the hard items. I couldn't believe it. I realized I have become so accustomed to rudeness and have low expectations generally, ... read more
Great Gourmet Goodies – We live a block away so this store is a constant temptation. It's expensive and crowded and the staff is poorly trained but there's a lot to choose from. On the down side, we can't seem to find a bread we like there, the hot prepared food can be so-so and the deli counter moves at the speed of grass growth. But the cold prepared food choices are better and with interesting seasonal choices. The fresh produce selections are top notch with great variety and quality. Looking for a specialty herb or unusu... read more
Impeccable quality – Walking into Agata and Valentina is like walking into a busy market in Tuscany. Immediatly you smell the bread from the bakery, the fresh fruit displays, any kind of cheese you could possibly imagaine, they eben make there own balsamic vinagar and olive oil. The meats and fish are fantasic. These is sooooo many products in such a small place, The only downside is all this great food there is no wine ot pair it with, A&V doesnt sell wine. Not even cooking wine.
Quality is great but the staff are not knowledgeable – I don't frequent at Agata & Valentina and now I remember why. I think their produce, imports, pasta's are fabulous but don't bother to ask a staff member that works there for any help. I was there this past weekend and I asked for calamari and lasagna and the person behind the counter didn't know what that was! I'm surprised that a store such as Agata & Valentina would hire people who don't know what they are selling. It got worse when I asked for a side of mariana sauce... read more
Quintessential NYC Specialty Food Store – Agata & Valentina is my favorite food store in the city! The produce is the first thing you see when you walk in and it's almost irresistable - beautiful, colorful displays of really unique seasonal finds, plus a great organic selection. I have always been really impressed with their meat and fish - it's really fresh and it makes me look good when I cook for family & friends. Their specialty items and imports like olive oils, honeys, and preserves are beautifully packaged and always ... read more
