Sansone Market — Local services in Town of North Hempstead

The history of this business goes back to early 1900s with roots in Italy. In more recent times the market used to operate out of their warehouse a few doors down but now the family has separated the RETAIL business (Sansone Market) from the WHOLESALE (Sansone Foods). SANSONE MARKET now lives in this bright and beautiful new market! You can feel the authentic love they have for family and food by their kindness and knowledge of the Italian products they sell. Their meats, cheeses, olives, pasta, gelato, pastries and excellent Lavazza coffee are just the best!! They carry a very wide variety of products and if you don't see something, they can get it from the warehouse! The staff at the Espresso Bar are great and the Cheese and Meats counter staff are super knowledgeable: Chef Lino of La Bella Nonna creates magic during the morning and afternoon with his prosciutto and focaccia breads, delicious pastries, cookies, desserts, and mind-blowing gelato; Lily the cheese monger knows her stuff, and the meats and cheeses sandwich counter guys Frank and John make mouth-watering sandwiches that could single handedly stave off the Hunger Games. They also make oven-fresh pizzas to order during the day and on Saturdays, Felix from Happy Bull Pizza is cranking out delicious pizzas! You better avoid this place if you have no will power! And finally the family and the management team are kind, honorable, very professional yet down to earth. Perfect place to go on a date, bring the kids to enjoy a treat, or get your...

I went to Sansone last week to purchase a gourmet gift basket for Christmas. An employee showed me different types of baskets and price ranges, and I decided on one of their $150 baskets, which, based on the samples they showed me, would contain a huge assortment of imported and specialty foods. I paid the $150, and was told to pick up my basket Wednesday morning (today).

Well Wednesday morning came, and needless to say I was EXTREMELY disappointed with my basket. A picture is attacked to my review. That is all that is there. A couple of items, most of which I could pick up at King Kullen. For $150, I was given MAYBE $40 worth of products (even at their ridiculously inflated prices). I plead with the manager that this must be a mistake, but alas it was not. The manager was rude and extremely uncaring to my situation, only insisting that this is the gift basket that I had paid for (IT WAS NOT!). At that point, I did not have much choice, as Christmas Eve is tomorrow (a position that they were more than happy to exploit). I did not have the time nor the patience to argue any further and had to leave with my poor excuse for a gift basket.

We always try to patronize local businesses, especially as 2020 has been difficult for so many of them, but I will never, never step foot into Sansone Market again after...

Rob is the man!!

Went in for a last minute scramble gift. Rob assisted me, took down my budget and I also stated dietary constraints for the person who I was giving it to.

He told me he wouldn't have it ready for me until the next day, Christmas Eve, which was totally understandable given the timing and holiday rush.

Rob calls me later that same day and tells me I can come pick it up! Now that's SERVICE!

Basket was beautiful and it contained a perfect assortment. The person who I gave it to was extremely delighted with it and will definitely be visiting Sansone soon.

Excellent experience and I can't wait to go back to try some of their...
