Great Italian deli. Good for lunch but if I had one complaint is that they give you way too much food! When we get this at work for lunch, I have to plan it as a two day meal. But I will say, their catering blows away any other catering place. You order a tray of chicken francaise or parmigiana and you get more chicken than you could ever expect. They do not short change you on the amount of food they give you. But add to that, it's outstanding! The catering here is unbeatable! Trust me when I tell you, next family party, get it catered here. You will not be disappointed! You will be so happy you went here!!

Ordered 2 six foot hero's for an event, great service and everyone loved the quality. Great people to deal with great food and competitive pricing, whats not to like.

THE BEST Italian deli around. Fresh and delicious, huge portions for a fair price. It's very old school, so nothing flashy, just good food. We regularly use them for catering and everyone always loves the food.

Ardito's is staple of the community there in Mineola. Anyone who knows Rosa and Tony will agree with me that they are both amazing. The food is always on point and handed to you with a smile. The lunch hours can get pretty crowded and busy but is worth the wait. I recommend Arditos for everything from sandwiches to salads and pasta.. eggplant parm to die for and some of the best chicken cutlets I have ever had!

Ardito's has one of the best Meatball Parm Heros I've had in a long time! Lots of meatballs, nice amount of sauce, not too much mozz so that you can appreciate the meatballs, and it's about a foot long! The sauce reminds me of the sauce that a neighbor's mom (she's Italian and a great cook!) used to use in her lasagna when I was growing up. I'm dying to try theirs to see if it's as good as hers! Unfortunately, I never know when they have it on the menu for takeout. What I don't like about them is that the only menu they have is the catering one. Each time I go, I never know how much I'm spending or what they have on their menu for take out orders (when is there lasagna?). I've also heard their eggplant parm and chicken parm heros are good. I'll try them the next time I'm in the mood for a parm hero. As it is, I only go there when I'm in the mood for a meatball hero. If there was a takeout menu, I'd probably go more often. They're a mom and pop (or poss. nonna i nonno) place and have imported foods there for sale, and really good fresh mozz. I was going to pick up one of their imported Panattone when I was there today but forgot! Yum!

I stumbled on this store and felt like I had just stumbled on a piece of Italian Christmas history. Brought me back to my childhood. I had the sausage and peppers, delicious! I also got a hero which was so big I had to eat it in 3 parts. Plus some absolutely delicious traditional apricot filled cookies from Joe's Bakery. Will definitely be visiting here when I'm in the neighborhood. It's not at all big or fancy, it's just a good old, family run business. Great to get traditional Italian Christmas items.

Excellent old school Italian deli. Staff takes great care to prepare your order to your liking.
Sunday Ardito's Italian deli catered a family party . The party consisted of my family of 15 people and 20 firemen and of cause Santa . It was our annual Santa on the fire truck visit . It was the first time I used Ardito's of Mineola and I was so very happy I did . They made the ordering process very easy . The food was excellent and everyone complemented how good it was . We had 2 three foot hero's , a vegetable tray and an antipasto tray . I had my 5 grandchildren so I also had chicken finger , Mac and cheese, and pigs in a blanket. The kids loved the food too. The staff at the deli was very accommodating

This is a special place, the food is incredible. The hot bar or sandwiches you can’t go wrong, and you can tell there’s a lot of years of Italian cooking done here, it’s an institution. Top 3 sandwich shop on Long Island. A must try.

Had a chicken cutlet hero, was to die for, easily best sandwich I've had in years! Lovely lady behind the counter said "I made it with lots of love" and she wasn't kidding. 10/10 would recommend!
