Nearly 30% of Long Island’s population is Italian-American — and there’s a good chance all of them know Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace. Uncle Giuseppe’s has been a staple specialty grocer on Long Island since 1998 and, over the past 25-plus years, has opened 11 stores in the greater New York and New Jersey areas with a 12th reportedly slated to open in 2026. 

The stores’ shelves are well stocked with a variety of Italian staples, including sauces, pasta, fresh produce, cheeses and classic pastries — many of which are Uncle Giuseppe’s own brand. And, like any good Italian, Uncle Giuseppe’s also offers an assortment of hot, home-cooked-style meals.
