Mariano’s

I got robbed there, so be careful and have your purse on you at all times. The manager was awesome and security on it.
Remember to validate your parking. Two times I went there I forgot.
Cupcakes were not fresh.

I never have a bad experience at these stores. This location is so nice! The staff is very friendly and the options of food here are just amazing! So much to eat and choose from! It all just looks so good.
I get their mac and cheese, as well as their chicken tenders when I am craving comfort food. Never can disappoint! This location is very new, so it hasn’t been as crowded when I go. But it will be!
Their coffee was also tasty! The hot bar is just too good to pass up!
When you go to Mariano’s for groceries, it helps to know prices. They’re not the most expensive but they do have good sales!

There is a grocery store chain on the east coast called Wegmans. Wegmans is an awesome store. Lots of gourmet foods and drinks, tastes of pretty much anything you want to try, fresh breads, hot meals, etc. Wegmans is about the beast grocery store in the world. I’m not kidding. Five stars, definitely.
Why am I telling you this? Well, it’s because Mariano’s is very nearly the same as Wegmans. Not quite, but it’s damn close. Sure, there is the basic grocery section. All the things you expect of a grocery store. Whatever. But it’s the extras that win me over. The massive, awesome cheese shop. I love cheese. The custom gourmet spice area. The coffee bar. The juice bar. The hot food area and salad bar. Best of all, the actual bar. Yes, you can shop then take a little break and have a nice beer, wine or other drink before moving on and finishing up. Very cool.
Mariano’s is not Wegmans. But it’s damn close. And the prices are just as reasonable as any other grocery store in the area. What more could you want?!?

It is huge! I wish they’d use the meat number counters so we don’t have to figure out who is next. Otherwise, this place in New City is good and cheaper than WH

After our shopping trip, we realized our parking ticket was lost. Beatrice was very helpful in replacing our ticket and avoiding the $ 26 all day fee that would’ve been charged otherwise. Very satisfied with this Mariano’s location and their customer service.

Sad!
The store is beautiful! The staff is very disrespectful, they do not care about there job nor take pride in what they do. I waited 7 mins I front of the veggie section trying to get a wrap. A lady was going to prepare it for me than stoped and said oh I don’t do this let me get the person who does. That person was not in there section but somewhere else in the store and no one knew where he was. So after 10 mins waiting. For them to give me wrap I just got a salad. Got some lemon chicken from behind the meat counter. After the women was talking about how drunk she was last night and playing on her cellphone she ask if she can help me. I can say the only good experience was lady who worked behind the deli meats counter super nice had a line of 4 people she helps all of us while the other 2 sat there gossiping and laughing. This girl was helpful fast paced and super nice. It seems this store needs better management. People all at there cellphones playing I dont kno candy crush? Very sad for such a pretty store to have crazy people working there. I will go out of my way and drive to the Lawrence Mariano’s! Great staff! And lady’s at the cashiers lane need to be trained again. Fire the people that are slackers! And lazy. Your at work not a club or on the street. Take pride in what you do. Mariano’s corporate make a surprise visit!!!

In 2016, I will be shopping at Mariano’s New City, it is not the closest store to my home, but the service is wonderful. The employees that I have dealt with have been friendly and helpful. Rosa, in floral, went above and beyond to obtain red tulips for me for my New Year’s Eve Brunch. I first asked if any tulips were coming in, she wasn’t sure. She said that she’d check and give me a call. She called me and told me that I could get them tomorrow after 6:00 am. She called the next morning to tell me that they would be in at 10:30. I went there and she had special-​ordered them for me which is why they came in late. The price was ½ of what I paid for those tulips a week earlier at a florist. Mariano’s New City will be my grocery store of choice, and Mariano’s New City will be my florist of choice!

Decided to do my Christmas Eve shopping here and needed food for 20. The store was amazingly empty and I easily found parking in there lot. In the past I always suffered through the Christmas grocery crowd at Whole Foods, so I was feeling pretty happy about my choice. I was even happier to find a great selection of fresh produce and pretty much anything you could need from whole foods mostly on the shelves.
So far so good, right? Nope. I’m not sure where they got their staff, but most of them are completely inexperienced and didn’t seem well trained. It took me about 45 minutes just to get through the produce section since several items I needed, including green beans, were empty and they had to be restocked. The friendliness of the staff was also not well managed. Some staff couldn’t be happier to help you locate an item or help you, while others didn’t seem to want to bother. One woman working in the cake section didn’t even look at me while she filled my order and never said thanks. She looked miserable.
My biggest mistake, after spending over $ 500 in groceries, was to sit down to eat at their «food court area» for another $ 50 or so dollars. The problem is that their «free parking» is only valid for 90-​minutes. Because it took me sooooo long to shop because they were out of stock in some items and because I ate at their restaurant instead of leaving and eating elsewhere, I exceeded the 90-​minute time and so was charged full price for parking. I was dumbfounded. I had assumed that you would pay for parking following the 90-​minutes if you exceeded the time limit. Nope I had to pay the full 2 hours for parking after spending almost $ 600 at their store.
It’s not a lot of money. Based on principle I just won’t go back. I’d rather drive a bit farther to their competitor and brave the crowds.

Nice new store, was not crowded when I went there today. They had everything I needed and the cashier and other staff were helpful, friendly, so yay for that. 5 stars there.
But wow, the layout and design of this place doesn’t make sense! I parked in garage on ground level. The 1^st floor looks like it’s for quick trips for prepared food and salad bar/​hot bar, then the normal grocery store is on the 2^nd floor — got it, don’t like it though.
If you get a cart on 1^st fl (natural if you are entering from 1^st fl garage, you have to take elevator to get to 2^nd fl. Were there escalators? I didn’t see them, although a pair centrally located would’ve made more sense for majority of shoppers. If you go through check out on the 2^nd floor, you then have to go back through the store to get to the elevators, which are hidden behind the liquor section in the middle. Huh? Stop confusing me.
I think I’ll stick to another Mariano’s until I have a strategic plan in place.

Just stopped in there and had one of the best sushi experiences ever. Very fresh fish. Not too crowded. Short wait for my food.
James, who prepared my order, was friendly and made a killer Latino loco roll. He should do stand-​up on his down time.
Will definitely be back.

I don’t normally post reviews… but it seems like nobody who reviewed this place actually cooks.
This grocery store is great for prepared foods… terrible for actual grocery shopping and people who cook.
Ok, so if I need to pick up one or two things from the grocery store you’re telling me I need to walk to the opposite end of the store, up some stairs, get my groceries, then checkout at a cashier that isn’t anywhere near where I came in? I’m in decent shape but won’t run a marathon to pick up an apple.
Want a bagel? Thats at the bakery downstairs. Want a cookie? Thats at the bakery UPSTAIRS. Seriously… who laid out this place?
Want Cholula (mexican hot sauce)? Thats in the hot sauce aisle. Want Sriracha? Thats not in the hot sauce aisle… its in the ethnic one.
Selection of meat is very lackluster, although the way they lay it out makes it look great.
Good cheese section though.

Our friends at Marianos have outdone themselves. Great customer service overall and specially going the extra mile at the sushi bar!

Love this new place. I walk in and it looks beautiful and new. it has beautiful lighting. It has a beautiful bar. There’s piano music playing and fresh flowers everywhere. The staff is very friendly. I got the pizza and a mushroom soup and it was very good. the lower part is all for to go food

Mariano’s is a welcome addition to our hood. I’m honestly tired of paying $ 100 for a small bag of groceries at Whole Foods. That being said, there are some things I would still buy at Whole Foods and meat and produce are a few of them. Overall though, this store is really nice and extremely convenient for us.
First, the staff is very welcoming and there are convenient check-​out stations intermixed on the first floor to make the traffic flow a bit better. That said, the downstairs is still a bit more cramped than I’d prefer. I love the idea of the wine bar with live piano player, oyster bar (yes!), coffee bar, gorgeous cheese section, prepared foods, etc.; however, the entire first floor does not have that «airy» feel to it and I’m afraid it might become even more cramped as more people shop there. The coffee bar is spacious, but it is very «cold-​feeling.» Perhaps some work on that area could make it feel more welcoming as we move into the winter months. Just a suggestion, but overall, the area is fairly comfortable and the coffee is really delicious. I don’t necessarily think Whole Foods has outstanding gathering areas either. Whole Foods does a good job of playing some fun music and has more space with which to work, but I do enjoy going to Mariano’s (maybe change up the music though — it is a bit depressing).
Second, the upstairs area is fine. Someone had mentioned that the layout was comparable to Costco. I’m not sure what he meant, but I don’t see a huge issue there. It’s not fancy I guess, but I’m glad I can go to one store for most everything (instead of going to Walgreens/​CVS and the grocery).
Third, the food is a good combo of organic and regular stuff. I will say I was not a fan of the organic spinach salad — tasted weird. Another reviewer mentioned spoilt fish. I’ve not purchased meat or fish at Mariano’s, but I can tell you I’ve purchased it from Whole Foods (a few times). It’s certainly not ideal to sell bad fish on opening day — agree with that! But perhaps it was a hiccup and will be fine going forward. I do think it can happen at any store though — Whole Foods or not.
Last, I think Mariano’s is extremely nice and easier on the bank account than the competition. Will I only shop at Mariano’s? Most likely not. But I will shop there for 80% of what I was purchasing at Whole Foods because Mariano’s has a lot of those items. Hopefully Kroger will implement some other changes to make the lower level even more comfortable and welcoming.
NOTE: One last thing… please please change the chairs around the reclaimed urban wood community table! I’ve been sitting in one of the chairs for over 30 minutes and my butt is still cold! These chairs are not comfortable and can be unhealthy for women (without giving details).

Worst parking ever. Been there twice and had problems both times. Once we were told we had two hours but really only had ninety minutes. Today cashier said she validated our ticket but when we attempted to leave ticket machine said it was not validated. There was a line at all three exits so we weren’t the only ones having issues. Ninety minutes simply not enough time to navigate this huge and confusing store. Don’t even attempt to have a bite to eat and linger. Much to stressful to be enjoyable. Agree with other reviews about quality/​freshness of produce. Tried to buy asparagus but it smelled terrible. Fresh herbs were anything but. Too bad I wanted to love this place.

What a disappointment. First visit, opening day, purchased salmon portion. When I went to prepare it was spoiled. Your opening day and you’re selling spoiled fish? Fail.
Second visit a week later, generally annoyed with the first floors mediocre attempt to copy whole foods lifestyle gathering places. My trip upstairs was equally sad. Every organic chicken had a sell by date of today. The organic produce and herbs were wilted and old.
The aisles reminded me of a Costco or Wal-​Mart. The store, overall gave me the creeps. On top of it all, I understand the folks who work there are paid minimum wage and don’t have schedule security which is ethically inexcusable. No thanks Marianos, you’re nothing but lipstick on a pig.

This is a 5 star grocery store if there ever was one. they went all out for their flagship and their attention to detail makes for a really elevated grocery experience. It really puts other supermarkets to shame and the word supermarket is kind of an understatement here. Mariano’s in general has always struck the perfect balance between everyday essentials and specialty products that are hard to find, but no location has really stepped it up to this extent and I am honestly more impressed by the selection than I can put into words.
The prepared foods spread is also outstanding like…
God. And that cheese room.
And with all the ambition there will of course be room for error, but there were only minor hiccups in a well-​oiled incredibly complex machine. So Imo sure the little kinks will all be worked out in time and for an operation of this magnitude in its first few days of opening to be running this efficiently is like… impressive.
One note is that the parking situation is a little bit of a nightmare but that seems like the fault of the designers of the New City Development. Also the validation only lasts for 90 minutes from when you enter the Parking lot which is a little short considering the fact that it takes about 10 minutes to park and walk In the store and then it really is an overwhelmingly large store so if it’s your first time there you may have trouble finding things and also it’s nice to enjoy the experience of the store… So honestly you will probably end up paying the 12 $ to park (!) even if you were 8 minutes over the 1:30 limit.
Other than that yeah… This is like the one to beat perhaps in the race for greatest grocery store of all time

This is a Mariano’s that’s a must! Decide to take a ride early this morning to check it out. Two level shopping with a great cheese, bakery, hot bar and flower shop on the first floor. And let’s not forget the coffee bar! The bakery section is to die for, who doesn’t love a mini cannoli cake! The second floor has a good meat and fish department, along with all of your staple shopping needs. I did love the touch of the pie station. They all looked so delicious it would be hard to choose. The only down fall is the parking. Since it connected to the movie theatre that was also recently built its a 90 minute validated parking. Being a new store and honestly the biggest Mariano’s you could easily spend more than 90 minutes shopping around. With all the hot bar, coffee bar and wine bar options to eat in. You wouldn’t have time to really shop for groceries. The price after the free 90 minutes was $ 6 for the next 30 minutes. I hardly has a chance to really look around the second floor due to making sure I had enough time to check out, get to my car and pull out of the garage. I will definitely be back to this location but first I’ll look for free street parking so there’s more time to shop and grab a coffee and pastry!

Pro tip: for actual grocery shopping park and enter the store from the 2^nd floor. This made my trip to the grocery store much more grocery-​oriented and easier to do do a «quick stop.»
The first floor prepared foods section is great, but it’s a lot. My first time in the store I wandered around for a while since the layout was confusing and I kept walking around in circles. Maybe there should be some better signage to point us in the right direction?
That said, one of the more notable things from this Mariano’s is their amazing cheese and meat section. Overall this grocery is a good addition to the area.
Also, this location can enter my wintertime rotation — covered parking is critical. ;) 90 mins free with validation, so don’t forget to bring your ticket in!

All hail the holy grail of Mariano’s. Take that back… the holy grail of grocery stores EVERYWHERE. The biggest and most impressive Mariano’s has officially opened today! Located in New City, this huge, 2 story mecca of everything you’ve come to love (and more) about the famous chain is right here. A covered parking garage is attached, and your parking ticket/​fee can be waived at customer service. Upon entering, you’re overcome with a mix of emotions… awe at the sheer size of this place, joy for all the cool new additions like the wine bar & bbq grill, and of course a feeling of being overwhelmed (in a good way!) by a grocery store. I know it’s only day 1, but everything is stocked, perfectly aligned, and employees are everywhere making sure you’re taken care of. Did I mention free samples galore?! Be sure to make your way to the cheese vault, as I like to call it, and sample your way though cheeses from all over the world. Then head towards the meat/​seafood counters and drool over the glass (or grab something to be grilled, for free). Then get lost in their over the top bakery and wine department, to fill your cart with all that good stuff.
This is definitely now my permanent grocery store (if you haven’t figured that out already). 5+ stars Mariano’s, you’ve got what I want, yeah you’ve got what I need. :)
