Deli to Open in Former Johnnie's Sub Side Location

Owner says doors could be open by mid August.

The doors at the former home to  have been closed for some time now but by mid August there will be a new deli for people to shop at – Nino's Delicatessen.

"It's not like every other deli, it's different. It's more like a Manhattan-style deli," said owner Anthony Garofalo. "[It's] an upscale deli, the food is going to be good. I haven't been to a deli on Long Island that's going to be like mine."

Deli customers could expect to see European style refrigerators and some seating when entering Nino's, and have their food prepared by a chef with 25 years of experience.

The owner said he would be serving everything from heroes to hot food, salads, soups, breakfast food and more. This is the third deli Garofalo has owned, selling off the previous two before heading into this new location.

Garofalo, who moved to Lake Grove about three years ago from Brooklyn, said the Sub Side location stood out to him in deciding where to open his next deli. He also said that he's experienced no difficulties repairing the building, which he said was built in 1920, but has had to perform lots of renovations.

The hours of operation when open would be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

How, in a period of rapidly declining enrollment, can costs be increasing so much from year to year,Read More you ask? The answer is in front of you in black and white. I urge you to READ your district’s budget: we are funding retirements when many of us cannot afford to fund our own during difficult economic times. These wheels were set in motion by contracts negotiated in times of unrealistic growth that may likely not occur again. It is time to open up these plans and relieve this unfair burden from our shoulders. Whatever other measures are pursued in order to control costs, including consolidation within and eventually with other districts, are never going to be enough if you cannot get this problem corrected. Write your congressman, for the love of God. If you need any more incentive to do so, please go to http://rocdocs.democratandchronicle.com/database/teacher-pensions-new-york and look at what Smithtown’s retirees are collecting MONTHLY. It will sicken you.
