Always a good experience with A & S. Friendly employees and a great menu. I highly suggest the Chicken Marsala. It's a little different than normal Marsala. The sauce was a little thicker than usual. The chicken has some type of coating which really enhances the flavor. I would definitely order it again. read more

Great staff; friendly and helpful; Best fresh mozzarella anywhere; Delicious assortment of cooked Italian favorites! My "go to" place when I'm entertaining or just want the best for my table!!! read more

Purchased a roast beef hero with fresh mozzarella and horseradish mayo. It was a very generous amount of rb and mozzarella. Don't know the guy that made it but was very friendly and made a helluva good hero. read more

It's a very expensive Italian deli but it has things that I enjoy so I go to them. They make a nice antipasto. They need to do a little work on this stuffed artichoke though. read more

This is the second year that we have ordered for mothers day First time was great and this years food was even better Fresh, hugh portions, great tasting and ready on time. Strongly recommend the Chicken francahise with spinach read more

Chicken Parmigiana W/ x-tRa marinara ... THEE absolute best one I have ever had, I do not do reviews. I literally downloaded this app, because it that damn good. I have eaten hundreds of chicken cutlet Parm's over the years and now that I'm thinking about it , I'm not even 100% sure if after having this I'll have one anywhere else in fact, I know I won't. . It actually has me questioning my food intake in general, as when you walk isles and in the glass cases located, around the store, you are taken aback immediately by how fresh and vivid the colors of EVERYTHING is. If you want your you sandwich ruined forever, come here, because after eating here you're not going to want anyone else's, plastic cheese nonsense. This sandwich I noticed on the menu doesn't have a name just chicken Parm... I will recommend one quickly and easily... The "COME TO JESUS", because about 1/8 of the way through this sandwich, you are going to have a come to Jesus moment about the food you eat in general. the freshest tasting tomato sauce, unbelievably perfect cuts of chicken breaded into perfection , Semolina is out of this world I ... and the cheese ... I almost have no words, like I said, hands-down the best sandwich that I have ever had have ever had. Full disclosure I am a graduate of one of the best culinary schools in the country however, do not work in the food industry whatsoever! That said; I sure have tasted multiple Olympic size swimming pools worth of tomato sauce in life, sat in every amazing Italian restaurant of any stature. There is no sandwich that comes close to this, there isn't even a close second 5+stars or 100 " everyone knows the rules" no score below 99 is even semi reasonable as there isn't even a close second nor will there ever be! WOW! Edit: This chicken parm at A & S? It deserves four Michelin stars. Yeah, I know they only give three, but this sandwich breaks the scale. I'm dead serious--I'm about ready to bring a Lennox plate with me next visit just to give it the respect it deserves. read more

A & S Fine Foods - Chicken ParmesanA - Delis Near Me - Oceanside, New York

Great sandwiches - quality food !! Everything always fresh . The # 7 Italian hero is by far the best in town !!

A&S is amazing on every level. From the prepared foods, to the raw/fresh products and grocery items, the staff and service, and everything in between this place is my go to! A&S has become my one stop shop. I'm embarrassed to admit I'm in there at least 3x per week! Their cheese rice balls and prepared vodka sauce are the best in town. read more

Second time we had a holiday catered by A and S - I truly can't say enough good about them - the team is considerate - organized. They treat their customers as if they were family- truly - not just words. The food is prepared the exact same way. It is delicious and there is care and attention put into the meal just as if they were cooking it in their own home. And of course when you go into the store itself the outstanding selection makes you want to order more and more. Anthony assisted us more than once. He's outstanding. But every single person we interacted with was just as nice and competent. A and S is a fantastic establishment. Try it - frequent it - you will be impressed!! read more

Purchased a number of things yesterday. Noticed they had one of my favorites, orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe. Usually make my own Not anymore, theirs was so good. read more

Delicious food , great variety of Italian classics. I just wish the staff was friendlier. We have learned to order for delivery or call in an order and just pick up. Still a winner. read more

Do ingredients matter? They sure do. I made my exact meatball recipe as I have made for years using ingredients from A&S. They came out out so much better than when I buy everything from a supermarket. And I mean noticeably different. I cheated a little today by getting their prepared braciola, it was on point. Anti- pasta was fantastic too. First time customer but will now be a regular. Service was efficient and helpful even though the place was very busy. All around a 5 star place. read more

Great service, amazing food. Carmine behind the corner was super helpful with the menu options. Can't wait to come back

I wanted to say Thank You. Whoever took my order guided me right. Delivery was on time and portions were more than I expected. All guests were happy. You did a great job! The Best. Grazie. read more

This place will never disappoint. Food is real Italian delicatessen. Good quality always fresh. I enjoyed them for over 20 years. I moved to suffolk and so far no old school Italian delis. Alot of wanna be ones. Number one in my opinion. read more

I decided to stop, 2 days before Christmas, to see if they had braciola. Not only did they have it, but it looked so good and were huge so I bought a few pork and beef. I slow cooked them in sauce & wine and received rave reviews. They were super tasty and fork tender. I also picked up a variety of fresh sausage that was another big hit! The young man that waited on me was so patient and nice. I'll be back this week for more to take to my daughters in Buffalo. Great food, Good customer service! A new go-to place! read more

I love old/new school Italian delicatessen! This place has anything you'd want if you like this style...fresh everything!! Check it out if you don't have time to cook, just buy and heat... delicious read more

Overpriced. Forgetful . Check your bag before you leave. They are not attentive . The only reason i went in was because of the parking. This isnt some spectacular establishment. In fact, i saw the same pasta for a fraction of the price at dollar tree. Ciao . read more

They should call it A** fine food because that's what the food tastes like and that's the level of service they provide. 2 hour and 30 minute wait for 4 sandwiches. Nothing but excuses from management. read more

Quality of the food, I have found, is pretty solid. If you are having a special dinner and want quality cuts of meat, then yes, A&S will have you covered. I can't vouch for their prepared foods since I've not tried them. But what gets me are their absurdly high prices AND the fact that their meats (at least when I've been there) don't have any price marks on them so you have no idea how much you might be spending without asking. We usually buy organic meats, and don't mind spending more for high quality, but I went in for sausage and baby lamb chops for 3 people and walked out having spent $85. I'm not expecting Costco prices, but if they were a bit more reasonable, I'd probably come here more often! read more

This place is one of my go-to spots for lunch. It's about 30 minutes round trip from where I work, but it's always worth it. I always get a hero and my favorite is a chicken cutlet with bacon American cheese lettuce and mayo. Hands down the best hero I've eaten anywhere. The bread is always fresh and the meats and cheese are high quality and they don't skimp on anything. Half a hero can fill you up. The cost is fair ($10) which is really good considering subway will charge you the same or more for a hero. The salads I have tried have all been fresh and delicious although they are a bit pricey. I would have missed this place if a friend didn't tell me about it because it doesn't seem like a lunch spot, and I'm almost hesitant to write a review because it's a great secret, but they deserve it. Check it out and you won't be disappointed. read more

A&S Fine Foods charged $86.78 for these containers, including $15.82 for Chickpeas....Are they made of Gold? What a disappointing Rip-Off. The most abusive pricing I've ever seen. read more

Very solid Italian butcher/deli. Love the prepared foods and hard to find Italian specialties.

UNNECESSARILY EXPENSIVE!!!! Ridiculous. They should be ashamed of themselves. I come from Brooklyn's and am willing to pay extra for quality. That's expected but they are ripping people's eye balls out. Who do they think they are? Food is good but seriously, not worth it. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Two loaves of Italian bread (twist) $9.98! GTFO read more

They do NOT carry Boarshead- don't let them lie to you-like they did to me-RVC location (closed) used to carry- this location does not-

Because it's not always convenient to drive to Brooklyn to find an authentic Italian deli, they've brought it to Long Island! Fantastic little deli and food store (calling it a supermarket would be a stretch and an insult). Great deli, proper Italian bread, fantastic dry pasta selection, insalata di frutti di mare, and my personal favourite - in the freezer section little trays of ricotta-stuffed rigatoni. Should I carb-load like this on the regular? Probably not. Do I enjoy it and try to find excuses to justify going here and loading up on delectable delights? Absolutely - and so should you. read more

Nice and friendly staff. Food is good, though many of the dishes and appetizers can be very oily. The focaccia bread is good, but it could be more doughy. If Yelp allowed me to complete this review on my iPhone, it would had been posted last year. read more

4.23 - Pro. Awesome deli. The sandwiches are what god intended sandwiches to be like. The staff here knows thier stuff. Really good meat, really good cheeses, all kinds of olives and pasta salads and other italian crap that will keep you coming back. read more

A&S is easily the best speciality italian foods store/deli in this area. That includes Long Beach and RVC. My review is for a few platters that I picked up over Christmas. The food itself was 5+ stars. We ordered chicken marsala, penne vodka and another pasta with a white sauce that I can't remember. I was a little taken back by how one of the employees (ponytail, male) was acting on CHRISTMAS EVE. Just clearly wasn't down to be dealing with antsy people that had been waiting in line for over a half hour for food that they then had to bring home and heat up for their families. I'm sure he's probably family or something so this will probably fall on deaf ears but just be nicer man, especially around the holidays. Order from anyone other than that guy if you come here. read more

Saturday afternoon. 5 people lined up outside in the heat. 6-8 guys working but only 1 helping customers lined up in the store. Not the first time I noticed poor service. Seven Brothers here I come! read more

Just finished our thanksgiving dinner courtesy of A&S. BEST MEAL we've had in years!! The turkey was the perfect amount for us, we had 5 people and we had leftovers! The sweet potatoes were delicious, with a nice sweet brown sugar and cinnamon topping, and the cornbread sausage stuffing went PERFECT with the cranberries and turkey. The salad we had (walnuts and Gorgonzola, cranberries and field greens) was great with the balsamic vinaigrette. A whole tray of baked ziti (very impressive honestly how they were able to make all of this food and not lose any quality of the flavors) that we still have a half tray left and an antipasto that blew away the antipasto from more expensive places... I can't thank A&S enough for cutting out the stress and work of preparing a big feast for the family and providing for us a very satisfying and delicious meal. We will be doing this from now on every Thanksgiving! 5 stars and I wish I could go higher! read more

Very expensive. I ordered the stuffed eggplant, the stuffing was good minus the hard pieces of eggplant inside. I also didn't like the eggplant it sat in. I also ordered stuffed mushrooms, they were okay but I hated the huge piece of garlic inside, at first I thought it was a mistake, it wasn't. The mozzarella/tomato wasn't anything to write home about either. The mozzarella was very chewy and one piece was hard. The breaded cutlets are very soggy. I do however like how they already have cleaned and butterflied chicken breast on nights I need to add a cutlet to my meal kit. Next time I'm in the mood for pre made Italian specialty items I'll be going to their competitor down the block. read more

I won a gift card for this establishment and went to use it today. The chicken Francese is by far the best I have ever had in my life . We also ordered the string bean almondine which is also a 10/10. Really happy to have this delicious food so close to us. read more

This is the best Italian deli and grocery you will find in this area. The bread is fresh and as good as you'd get from an Italian bakery in the city, the prepared foods are delicious, and their meats are fresh prime cuts. One of the few places around here to get good lamb and steaks. Miles beyond what you'd get at nearby supermarkets. Also, they have fresh pasta and ravioli, store made sauces, fantastic selection of olives and cheeses, and a variety of Italian specialty products in addition to produce and regular groceries. In addition to being a great store with great products, the service is fast, super-friendly, and was very accommodating to all my requests. The will blend different chopped meats for you for meatballs also. Wonderful store read more

I waited 20 minutes in line for them to tell me they weren't making sandwiches today. Granted it was 2 days before Christmas and they were very busy but they could have at least had a sign saying that they weren't making sandwiches on this day. read more

This place has almost the right look and feel for an Italian deli. The butchers are really nice guys. Im having an issue with how the bread tastes in this area. Its too close to Brooklyn/Bronx to have such little flavor IMHO. Also, all of the meat breads tastes off. I had three different types, Prosciutto Bread, A multi meat bread and a donut looking meat bread. All purchased on seperate occasions weeks apart. I dont like the way the meat tastes, almost like its too old or something....i dont know. I wasnt the only one who thought so either. The meatballs are delicious and they carry Columbus deli meat, love their products. So this place is hit or miss for me right now, but no doubt there is ALOT of room for improvement. Feels too commercial, not like a local home Italian deli. The search continues.... read more

Amazing ricotta cheese And the absolute worst meatballs I have ever tasted even the color was Disgusting. Hit or miss.

Great Italian deli and grocery. They make their own Mozz, and their sandwiches are to die for. They slice their meats the right way, extra thin. Extensive selection of meats and cheeses, and general imported food goods. read more

Ordered my Easter Dinner here. The food was excellent and they did everything to make it easy for me. Fantastic Authentic Italian Pork Store. Thank you. read more

My "go to" Italian deli when I'm making Sunday dinner. Great selection of meats, cheeses, pasta salads, bread, and their sandwiches are the best - hands down. If they had a little more fresh produce, I'd give it a 5. read more
