Italian Food Center — Restaurant in Town of Haverstraw

• WARNING * THIS PLACE EMPLOYS PREDATORY TOWING PRACTICES!

My wife parked in front of this store for less than 15 minutes and a tow truck came and started to hook up her car. She ran back to the car and was told that she would have to pay $200 to get the car back. After breaking down crying the tow truck driver called the owner of the towing company and then the price went to $250!

First of all according to the law she would have had to have parked there for over an hour in order for them to legally be allowed to tow the car. Secondly they cannot charge more than $150 for the tow. If you arrive before the car is towed they must release the car to you for half of the towing fee which in this case should have been $75. The towing company took advantage of my wife because she is a woman. She did not know any better and she was afraid that they were going to tow her brand new car. (The car has less than 500 miles on it). The owner of the towing company was very rude and condescending to my wife when she called there to ask for a receipt as well. She was forced to drive to the bank (following the tow truck) and pay in cash. Legally they are required to accept at least two kinds of credit cards and cash.

I don't know much about this business but don't park in the lot if you want to...

Anthony over at Italian Food Center does everything the authentic Italian way! By FAR the best Italian Deli in Rockland County. Imported Italian cold cuts, and all the cold salads you could want. If your Italian like me, and eat macaroni on Sundays, make sure you get some of his in-house prepared hot sausage to go with Sunday dinner. Best sandwiches in town and the absolute best people around. Go there once and i promise you will never go to another deli ever again in Rockland. I grew up in the Bronx and this place is the only deli in Rockland County that makes me feel like I'm back down there. Top...

Things appear to have changed for the worse since owner Anthony was tragically killed last year. The once wonderful Italian combo is sadly a shadow of its former self. Previously the meat to cheese ratio was on point, there were great spicy peppers and even the tomatoes were marinaded. The last one I had, there was too much cheese vs meat, a lot of the peppers had stalks on still, uninspiring salad, and it just wasn't good overall. I hope that everything else is not in decline too. Sorry to say it, but you can't rely on reputation for ever, and there are now better delis...
