This is one of the best butchers on Long Island. I've never had a complaint until today. The pre-made baked ziti that I bought on December 31st was sour. It was so bad. I've never had that experience before. I had to throw it away. Otherwise, the owner, his son and the rest of the employees are really nice. They're always willing to answer questions or make a recommendation if you ask. They're great for catering as well. read more

Always top quality food and service. Excellent selection of deli items, apps, and your favorite sandwiches. A customer for many years, best butcher in town, Primavera is first choice always. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Rude incompetent staff. I asked for a baguette, to which the worker didn't even know what it was. And then proceeded to get snippy with me when I tried to describe it to him. He announced across the entire store "does anyone know what a baguette is" as if to embarrass me like I just made up that word. Will never give this deli another dollar. For reference I have been going here for over 10 years and have always walked in and asked for a baguette without problem. read more

My SIL ordered two hero's for my BIL's surprise party. These hero's were massive! One of them had mozzarella, chicken cutlet & peppers, the other one was an Italian sub. Both were very good. Macaroni and potato salad both yummy as well. Service was very friendly, helped us load the car with everything we needed. Store smelled delicious, would recommend! read more

In these difficult times that we're living in, having a piece of normalcy is so important. We so appreciate Primavera! My wife has been doing ll the shopping, so I miss seeing and chatting with Tom and the crew, but she never fails to come home to tell me they said hi! I can't list everything that's delicious here, short of saying all of it! Treat yourself and head here... just try to make it on a day my wife doesn't shop, so she doesn't have to wait too long! :-) read more

Always delicious. They have great prepared appetizers and sides. The raviolis are very good. People that work there are very helpful.

Been coming to this Italian deli for years but just finally getting around to writing a review about it. They provide catering, specialty meats, custom orders as well as just walk in deli orders. One of the best local Italian fresh markets around. Luckily it's located in north Massapequa area off of Hicksville road in the shopping center with Harmon. Primavera offers a wide variety of meats. Every Christmas Eve my family orders the beef from them and they do a fantastic job selecting a generous cut. Always looking forward to coming here and they usually never disappoint. read more

Can't say enough good things about this awesome little market. Everything we've had has been super impressive, even my dad who complains about everything took one bite of the hero we got for my son's birthday and said "now that's the real bread from Brooklyn!" It really is good stuff, anytime I'm craving an Italian sub this is my go to spot because other places just don't compare. And off all that great food wasn't enough the ultra friendly and helpful staff make the experience that much better. Truly a hidden gem in the Massapequa/Seaford area. read more

If you like Italian sausage with flavor (fennel, parsley, etc) theirs is great. They bring in their Italian bread from brooklyn. A little smaller and darker and with much more flavor. So maybe get the large one, They also will sell you (if you use canned tomatoes/ you should use fresh plum) tomatoes from the San Marzano region of Italy. Stamped for authenticity. They will point out which are the right ones. read more

Disappointed with my experience here. Called for curbside pickup. We ordered bacon cheeseburgers and asked the girl on the phone how much per pound and we were told $8.99/lb. The website menu also says $8.99/lb. When we got our order we realized we were charged $10.99/lb. When my husband went in to tell the staff they told him the price went up. I just think they should have honored what we were quoted for this time. The burgers were good though. read more

I normally do not review companies unless I have an exceptional experience. This is not that type of review however. I would actually rate this company a negative star if possible. Not based on the food. Terrible TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I will never return. Every time I call for catering they are rude and NEVER helpful! They just don't want the business I guess so I will be absolutely certain to let all my family and friends know. read more

I haven't been to Brooklyn in a while so I was craving a Brooklyn-style Italian sandwich but didn't want to go back all the way to Brooklyn so I looked for something nearby and found this. The people were friendly and reminded me of Brooklyn and the sandwiches were just as good. I didn't look around the other products they had in the store but I like how they had a mini grocery inside. Will definitely come back! read more

Place is absolute trash. Called 24 hours before my daughter's second birthday party to postpone my catering order because my family came down with Covid. Told me the hero was already sliced the night before (disgusting) and I couldn't switch it to the following weekend. When I told them me and my two year old were sick with Covid the guy on the phone turns around and says "yeah so is the rest of Nassau County." THEN, when I arrive to pick it up (while fighting Covid) the owner's son dumps 7 feet of hero (on two separate boards) and a box with 7lbs of salads on the counter for myself, who is a petite 5ft girl, to carry out alone. This is my first and obviously last time dealing with this place. Do yourself a favor and cater with a classy place like Salpinos or Ivarone who employ gentlemen who treat their customers with respect. read more

A staple in the community. Everybody's helpful, & friendly. Everything is fresh and the place is always so clean!!

Been shopping here for a lot of years. Their stuff is always fresh and the store is immaculate. They were a lifesaver when the pandemic hit and supermarket shelves were empty. They were always well stocked and they always have enough people working that you're in and out quickly. Great neighborhood butcher! read more

Hands down the best Italian butcher and specialties on Long Island. You don't need Arthur Ave. Primavera has the best hero sandwiches. Delicious eggplant parmigiana stacks. If your eating healthy they have a fantastic marinated Turkey London Broil, great for dinner and sandwiches. Bakery items from Brooklyn and so much more. They are nice guys. Guaranteed if you go in to this shop you will not leave empty handed. read more

My first time in there I found them rude it's not what you say but how you say it Ex.they should say. It's one line serving deli n meat Don't assume possible new customers know that read more

Primavera what is up with the attitudes your personalities need a lot of work, I have been coming to your store for years not often but that's due to the nastiness. I am spending my hard earned money to keep you in business could you be more appreciative especially in these trying times, I was in there recently I asked for two certain items as I like them a special both of the snobs were annoyed with me at that point I wanted to walk out I patiently kept quiet but I was upset. You get top dollar for everything in that store I do not mind paying trust me everything is delicious & fresh just remember you need US without us you will be a failure I will give you 1 more chance that's it . read more

This place is amazing. If you love Italian cold cuts or speciality items, this place is a homerun. The heros are outstanding, the meat is always fresh. They have a giant selection of Italian sauces, cheeses and pasta. They sell a number of different stuffed breads, pre-cooked dinners, soups and meals. Great selection, great prices and the staff is always very cool to deal with. read more

Every once and a while you have to give in to your cravings. I was craving a great Italian hero. This place did not disappoint. Great family run deli/butcher. Support this fine establishment read more

I'm leaving 3 stars since the food is always good and this review had nothing to do with food. We were here twice since October. The first time the man behind the deli counter was rude and yelled at my elderly mother to "hurry up already" while she was ordering and asking what certain items were. Today we went again since she enjoys the food and was disappointed that the man behind the counter wasn't wearing a mask, only a face shield. The lady working there her mask wasn't covering her nose. Even though the food is good, I can't take the risk of bringing my elderly mother back there again if the workers don't follow the rules to protect others from Covid. Also don't want to deal with the rude staff again read more

Just received my first order from Primavera Massapequa. They were timely and correct. Their marinara sauce is by far the best tasting of any sauce I've purchased at any local Italian specialty store. This to me is a good stepping stone for how good the rest of their ready made items will be. Happy to have discovered this gem. read more

I will not buy my meata t a supermarket ever again. Great section of all types of meat and deli meat. Easy to order online. Bit late on our order but understandable being there is a pandemic. Def recommend to friends and family. read more

Really friendly and clean store. Ordered Italian hero ( they call it The Neapolitan) and the sandwhich was unreal. Just awesome. read more

Primavera Italian Specialties - The Neapolitan. - Meat Shops Near Me - Massapequa, New York

I love this place. my wife and I shop here all the time. Cold cuts are awesome here, I dont know what it is but small italian delis just have better tasting cold cuts than supermarkets, even when the same brand. Primavera makes it even better becasue they are all super friendly and helpdul. We started buying all of our meats here as well, its a little pricey compared to a supermarket, but the wuality is so much better and you can taste it. The chicken cutlets are awesome and being a butcher they trim all the fat and thin them out with a mallet. No complaints. I also buy all my meats her when I have barbeques., I have purchased Whole pigs, rib, briskets, pork butts, and whole turkeys from them and have always been pleased. They do all the cleaning for you too which is great. Last thanksgiving we bought a free range turkey from them and it was one of the best tasting turkeys we ever had. I cannot say enough good things about Primavera. They are an awesome bunch of people and the food is great.. Doesnt get much better than this. read more

I have had Primavera cater many different holidays but Christmas being the most food and they never disappoint. The food is absolutely delicious and my family and I all agree. Their eggplant parmesan we love the best! Thank you Primavera ! read more

Very good hero!!! Went here based on a suggestion and I got the Neapolitan. The amount of meat was good and it was $9 for a roll or $10 for a hero. The bread was a little crisp and chewy which is how I like my bread. I also got empanadas since there were others who were getting them. I got the pulled pork and brisket. The amount of filling was generous and the empanada dough was really tasty. The empanadas were 2 for $5 which was reasonable given the size. I would definitely go back. read more

Please of the hook and Denis is great. Way better than A&S on broadway. The guys Greet you and are always so kind. The food is out of this world. read more

I can't thank you guys enough for making our party perfect! read more

We shop here often. The meats from the butcher side have always been very good and the prepared salads are really good. I ordered the brisket empanadas last time I was in and they where outstanding. I also ordered a couple of lunch heroes and they could not have been better. The place is also spotlessly clean and staff are all pleasant and super helpful. Try it you won't be disappointed read more

I've been coming to this place for nearly 4 years now and have never been disappointed. It is very clean and all the guys are fast and knowledgable. We have also used them to cater events at our home for as many as 75 people. Our guests typically fall in love with the food prepared by Primavera and make them their go to Italian Specialty store too. Lastly, they make some pretty mean sandwiches with top notch ingredients that are prepared to order. If you are in Massapequa, definitely check this place out. read more
