Manhasset just scored a new spot for serious sandwich and pasta shoppers. Benvenuti Salumeria, a new Italian market and salumeria, opened on Friday, bringing made-to-order panini and a spread of imported pantry staples to the North Shore. The shop combines a deli counter with a compact grocery stocked with cured meats, cheeses and specialty pantry items, aiming to serve both the lunchtime crowd and home cooks. Staff say the idea is to give neighborhood shoppers access to ingredients they used to chase down off-island.
As reported by Newsday, the business is run by co-owners Bruno Carusone and Luca DiCiero, with manager and chef Nino Gagliardi running the counter. Hours are listed as Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a contact number of 516-960-7090. “Manhasset is missing something like this,” Carusone told Newsday.
Sandwiches and pantry
Benvenuti opens with an 18-item sandwich lineup, with prices generally in the 17 to 22 dollar range. Headlining the menu is the Rustichella panino, which stacks pancetta, smoked provola, pickled mushrooms and arugula on focaccia. On the market shelves, American-made goods such as Lioni Latticini mozzarella and La Trafila pasta sit alongside imported Italian brands including Mancini, Garofalo, Di Martino and Mutti, according to Newsday.
Local ties and staffing
The business is listed in state corporate records with a Colonial Parkway mailing address, per Bizprofile, and the Manhasset Chamber includes Benvenuti among local food vendors. Online job listings show the shop is hiring deli associates and slicers as it ramps up service, including a posting on Glassdoor. Co-owner Luca DiCiero has also been cited among local donors in coverage by the Long Island Press, underscoring the owners’ ties to the community.
For menu updates, hours and contact details, the shop maintains a website at Benvenuti Salumeria. Diners can expect a compact, neighborhood-focused spot that pairs a busy deli counter and grab-and-go lunches with a small but carefully curated specialty market on the North Shore.
