Cardona's Market

Cardona’s Market is a family-owned Italian specialty foods market and catering company serving the Capital Region since 1945. We take pride in offering top quality products with family-friendly service. Cardona's original market was opened in downtown Albany by Augusto Cardona Sr. over 75 years ago, with a focus on bringing Italian imports to the neighborhood.

Located at 340 Delaware Ave Ste 1, Albany, NY 12209, Cardona's Market operates as an italian deli serving Albany in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as italian grocery store, butcher shop, caterer, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 9 AM–6:30 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (518) 434-4838. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is cardonasmarket.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 671 reviews, which is a strong result for an italian deli in Albany and suggests consistent service.

Albany is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Albany follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
