Marina's International Deli, Russian Food Store, European Food Market — Local services in Symmes Township

Great place to get some of the foreign foods. They carry Candy, Desserts, whole foods, Ravioli, and fresh cut deli. A lot of Russian foods and some toys. As well as Newspapers, Magazines and much much more. A little high on the prices on some items. But if a little nostalgia is what you are craving for, like grandmas cooking, this place is as close as you can get in the area.

Would I Recommend it? No

EDIT: 6/5/18 After find this store years ago, I was happily shopping there once a week or two, never paid attention to expiration dates nor price. Got to know staff and delivery dates. Had a huge issue recently with products being expired, and I never bothered to check, so it started to become more often occurrence. What pushed me to edit though is about a month ago. I got a Box of candy(48 bars), sausages and dry fish for me and family....and they were all expired. I got embarrassed badly at work too as I brought half the box of these amazing candy to work to give to employees to try, and they were ALL expired Months ago, chocolate was WHITE, it was so old. It got like flour power on top of each bar. Embarrassment isn't even a description of how that all went down. I was ashamed in front of staff and they all laughed at the whole Russian store idea. Months went by, they still occasionally poke fun at me if i offer anyone ANYTHING, even a damn Kit-Kat.

I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, its actually shameful that they would sell expired product. Willing to bet anyone to walk in right now, and find expired products on shelves.

Always check dates if you shop there. I will...

Якщо ви перебуваєте поблизу Цинциннаті та бажаєте автентичної української чи слов’янської кухні, зробіть собі послугу та завітайте до гастроному Marina’s International Deli. Це місце не просто магазин — це дім.

З того моменту, як я увійшов усередину, вони ставилися до мене зі щирою теплотою та повагою. Зі мною телефонувала моя дівчина (вона краще за мене знає кухню), і коли вона почала говорити з ними рідною мовою, вони запалили. Їй не довелося, але це прискорило все — і вони ставилися до нас обох, як до рідних.

Як американець, який не виріс із цією їжею чи звичаями, я раніше заходив у міжнародні магазини й почувався дещо недоречним. Не тут. Марина змусила мене відчути себе гостинно з першої секунди, коли я зайшов. Без осуду — лише доброта, смачна їжа та гордість за їхню культуру.

Їхній вибір неймовірний — від домашніх делікатесів до імпортних основних продуктів, ви знайдете все, від п’єрогі та копченого м’яса до цукерок і маринувань, які перенесуть вас прямо до Східної Європи. Але що справді робить його особливим, так це люди. Рідко можна знайти місце, яке нагодує і шлунок, і душу.

Marina’s — це не лише місце, де ви робите покупки — це місце, де ви почуваєтеся як удома. Безсумнівно, найкращий міжнародний гастрономічний досвід, який я коли-небудь мав.

If you’re anywhere near Cincinnati and craving authentic Ukrainian or Slavic food, do yourself a favor and visit Marina’s International Deli. This place isn’t just a store — it’s home.

From the moment I stepped inside, they treated me with genuine warmth and respect. I had my girlfriend on the phone with me (she knows the cuisine way better than I do), and when she started speaking to them in their native language, they lit up. She didn’t have to, but it made everything faster — and they treated us both like family.

As an American guy who didn’t grow up with these foods or customs, I’ve walked into international stores before and felt a little out of place. Not here. Marina’s made me feel welcome from the second I walked in. No judgment — just kindness, good food, and pride in their culture.

Their selection is amazing — from homemade delicacies to imported staples, you’ll find everything from pierogi and smoked meats to candies and pickled goods that take you straight to Eastern Europe. But what really makes it special is the people. It’s rare to find a place that feeds both your stomach and your soul.

Marina’s isn’t just where you shop — it’s where you feel at home. Hands down, the best international deli experience I’ve ever...

I really wanted to like Marina's, but have been spoiled with Lakomka and how new, bright, and organized it is. This store reminded me of faded glory, seemingly a better fit for a long-past decade. Parking is poor, and access to the strip mall is downright dangerous. Store has the standard grocery items one would find in an international Russian/ex-CIS state endeavor. Pricing is what you would expect for items coming from halfway across the world. A shame you don't have Raxat chocolates. Employees don't seem as happy as the ones at Lakomka, either. No greeting upon entering. Maybe they were just...
