Cardona’s Market is a popular family-run Italian specialty grocery store, deli, and catering hub that has been a vibrant part of New York’s Capital Region since 1945. Located in Albany’s lively Delaware Avenue neighborhood, this flagship store has delighted customers for over 80 years with top-quality Italian imports and freshly prepared meals.

The Market’s hot counter serves up delicious Italian comfort foods daily, including lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, and its renowned meatballs.
