Valentino Food Market announced
last week that it
would temporary close its
doors in Ridgewood.
The market, located at 66-64 Fresh
Pond Road, announced the news on
its website on April 8.
“As though we are all aware
of the COVID-19 and its apex we
will temporarily be closed. Just
to clarify, we were not shut down
by any department nor were their
any CONFIRMED CASES of the
COVID-19 to our knowledge,” the
announcement reads. “It saddened
me the most to read these false accusations
that were posted. This
virus is very serious and has taken
the lives of many that are dear to us.
We love our employees and value
our customers. We felt taking this
measure would protect us all and
safe lives.”
The announcement then goes
on to thank the community for its
support.
“We are a third generation business
and it means so much to us to

continue to serve the community.
We apologize for any inconveniences
and look forward to opening soon.
Thank you for your continued support
and please be safe during these
difficult times.”
Valentino Food Market is family
owned and has operated in New
York City since 1975, according to
its website. The open-air market
offers Italian specialties, produce,
hot prepared food, and a butcher.
