Review Rubino's Imported Italian Food - Rochester

Mike Graz
Places like this are becoming hard to come by for Italian Americans and should not be taken for granted. This place reminds me of when i was a kid. As a Buffalo native, we have lost a majority or our Italian grocery store. This place has it all. Excellent selection of cheeses and cold cuts. I also was impressed with there panettone selections. Definitely a must for italian food culture seekers.

A true Italian deli that's been around for decades. Everything you'd expect. Their subs are phenomenal.

This place has fresh hot food, fresh cheese, fresh meats and hot out of the oven bread! Every section of this store is phenomenal and much more than I was expecting. This is also a local chain. Feels good to support local owners. I had a very hard time choosing from of of their many sweet treats to enjoy as well. I wish we had a Rubino’s closer to where I live! This place is amazing and try to go every time I’m in Rochester.

Meat, cheese department always excel in quality and choices. Prices are very good especially with the great quality exceeds local grocery stores. Numerous wonderful choices also throughout the store. You will see the owner 99% of time when visit... always very friendly, professional and usually working and attentive. BEST STORE IN THE CITY 😊👍

Fresh bread, fresh food, friendly service! The cheese/deli/butcher sections are truly impressive. Everything looks amazing, and nicely presented. Tried the Janice Special sandwich and it was delicious. The beef was tender, the bread was fresh, and the sauce was delicious. Make sure you get lots of napkins because it gets messy. Also tried the mini cannolis. They were very tasty, but the shell wasn’t crunchy. Loved Rubino’s!

I have been raving about Rubino’s for years after discovering the store by mistake- while in town from Cleveland. I took a recent trip with my mom and sister, in which they also agreed that Rubino’s is amazing. Stopped in every department, but the sausage was by far everyone’s favorite…and the cannoli’s, of course were delicious! My families expectations were high and the store Definitely lived up to the hype. I mention this place to everyone, in case anyone ever takes a trip to the area. It’s always worth the 3+ hour drive! Very friendly staff as well and the store was very clean! Can’t wait to return

Anything, everything about Rubinos we love. Stuffed mushroom casinos are very good, moist, juicy, and tasty. My wife always gets her meats for sauce at Rubinos. Always top-notch quality and service. Staff is always friendly, happy, and willing to help. Bravo Rubinos. I could list a host of products we buy here, and I say all very pleasing, no issues.

Amazing food, friendly faces, great prices. I went there for a breakfast sandwich and was not let down at all. Ended up getting a Delmonico steak and egg garbage plate wrap, and it was delicious! For $7 I got a quite sizeable wheat wrap filled with steak, eggs, cheese, Mac salad, onions, peppers, and I'm guessing a little meat sauce because it was a bit spicy (perfectly). I was starving before and quite full after. I skipped lunch because this filled me up so much. I'd go back without a second thought the next time I'm ready for another hearty sandwich like that. I've been there for lunch too, and their subs are great. The women behind the counter are happy to help with a smile and make the food quickly. Definitely recommend.

Steak sub was the best I have had in the area, the young man Tommy who helped me was respectful and helping whilst making my choices for toppings. Overall great experience, the classic Italian cuisine is amazing.

Absolutely love visiting when in town. We brought home 3 huge bags of goodies, and was helped by Bev, Mia and Bella, the sweetest ladies ever ❤️ Best part of our vacation. Thanks guys

Can't beat their homemade Italian sausage!! The hot fennel sausage is the best. Now you can get a tray of Italian cookies too 😋
Leon Smith
Excellent source for quality authentic Italian groceries. I particularly like their fresh calamari salad.

Excellent! This is the place for subs and all things Italian, nobody else even competes! I must say though that the workers could use a bit more of a personality… I get that there busy, but often they come across as rude and without any sense of humor…

I wish I had tried Rubino's sooner; it's such an amazing store! The staff are friendly, the isles are stocked with wonderful Italian staples, and the quality of everything is superb. My first shop there I picked up so many items, including certified tomatoes from Italy for my tomato sauce as well as homemade sausage from the butcher. The prices for everything, especially meats and cheese, was very affordable for the quality you're getting. I was even surprised to see how each meat and poultry item was broken down into small half or quarter portions if you don't need such large pieces; and the butcher is always willing to give you custom cuts of things! Their hot food is delicious, especially their sandwich area. The hand-prepped sandwiches at all different sizes were reasonable and made fresh with a wide variety of toppings to choose from. While I didn't get to try out their soups, they had two soups on the menu to pair with the sandwiches if you wished as well as a hot bar with meatballs, arancini, pasta, and other Italian delights. I highly recommend stopping into Rubino's to shop. It has everything you need to make your Italian dishes be the best they can be.

I can not even put into words how much I love Rubinos....walking into the store the aromas from the cheeses, pizza, cookies, bread just hit all of the senses. My mouth starts watering for the fine Italian foods. First stop is the sausage counter, where you will fined many varieties of sausage...don't hesitate to also try the chicken sausages you won't be sorry. Next up the meat counter their Denver roast is my all time favorite to make a pot roast or barbecue beef. On to the cheese and cold cuts-yet to find a cold cut we didn't enjoy. Olives ,salad and side dishes are available in the next counter. I love browsing their center reach ins for prepackaged foods....please try one of their steaks you won't be sorry, the flavor is incredible. Desserts, cookies and Gelato are up next...how can you resisting you than you are braver than myself. I haven't even spoke about the interior of the store, but browse you will enjoy. Try their pizza, subs to round off your visit. Robin's two thumbs and we'll worth the trip!!! PS We get our prime rib from here ever Christmas-you won't be disappointed !!!

I visited Rubino's for the first time this past Saturday as I was in Rochester for a show at the Auditorium and let me just say that they did not disappoint! From the sights of the high quality meat selection, the smell of fresh bread and provolone, I was drooling! A little piece of the good old days and made me think of the days my grandparents were alive. I will be making the 2.5 hour drive much more frequently having found this gem!
Alejandro Rodriguez
I absolutely love visiting this store! Where do I start? The sub sandwiches are the best in the city in my opinion. There is a wonderful variety of cheeses, meats, cold cuts and desserts just to name a few. I bought the rubinos pizza sauce and rubinos cheese to make my own homemade pizza. The pizza was flavorful and delicious! Everyone that works at the store is kind and helpful. Keep up the great work you do every day! Thank you! #repeatcustomer!
Nate Spargo
This place is outstanding! My brother just moved up here with his family and we were visiting for thanksgiving. We stopped in to check it out and I could have spent hours in there! The selection of meats, cheeses, pastas and more is phenomenal. The staff is super friendly and we will make it a point to visit every time we’re in town. Keep up the great work!!

Thank you to Brianna and Emily Torpey. I ordered 6 subs and a dinner plate, everything was perfect! First time at Rubino’s and they walked me through everything and kept me organized. Very pleasant experience and I highly recommend this location.

I love this place. I wish that I lived closer so that I could shop here more often. Great selection of Italian food products plus a great deli, in store bakery, meat department and a fine selection of imported Italian cheeses.

After moving to Irondiquoit, I realized how close I now lived to Rubinos. Since that moment, it's been my "store of choice". The place is freaking amazing, being of Italian and Lebanese descent, I love to cook, and eat! Everything is there, fantastic meats, homemade sausages, fine-lean cuts of beef, "REAL" ground beef, imported and domestic cheeses, breads and rolls, deli, salads.... And the cookies.... Oh the cookies! I highly recommend Rubinos to everyone! The Quality and Prices of their product is perfect.

I love the italian meats and cannoli! they are out of this world with the best staff!!!
David Lombard
Every time I go in the store the tantalizing aromas of fresh bread, cheese, garlic, pizza, immediately take over my wallet. The meats are the most flavorful I've ever had. The olive bar is second to none. And their shelves are filled with authentic Italian goodies Most importantly the entire Rubinio's staff are like family.
Pat Visconte
Great food go if you can Delmonico steak sandwich with cheese or veal cutlet...or chicken parmesan or Italian wedding soup
Carolyn McEvilly
I love the hot and mild Italian sausage. They have great fresh rolls. Amongst other things. Go there every Thursday to pick up lunch too. Keep up the good work.
Joanne Rytlewski Heminway
Love the store and what it offers so I ordered 2 trays for a recent event. The cheese and fruit and the dessert sampler - both were okay but not pristine as I had hoped especially for the cost. The cheese and fruit were sparse and the grapes were missing in areas it looked like it was picked over. The dessert sampler was not as fresh as I think it should have been and crumbly. I will continue to shop there but think twice before ordering from the catering menu.

For as long as I remember I've been a customer. I was there yesterday with my sister getting meat and cheese. Suddenly we see breakfast sausage! I have NEVER had breakfast sausage SO GOOD and so PERFECT! Now I know why people refer Rubino's as "The Kings of Sausage!" Juicy....Nothing but meat no fat no nothing. A tiny hint of sweetness that is possibly maple????? Who knows and who cares!!!! It must have always been all gone! I got some now!!!! Thank you Rubino's for ALWAYS giving us your best!
Elizabeth Gattman
Delicious subs with high quality ingredients, amazing cookies as well as a fantastic selection of deli meats and cheeses! Will definitely visit again!
