Dee Nerlino has been buying filet mignons from Panico’s Community Market in Smithtown for decades. “When you cook it, you can cut it with a fork,” she said Saturday morning at the market, where she came to buy six of the tender steaks. They would be her last from the small Italian grocery, which is closing Sunday after more than three decades in business.

“I felt like I got kicked in the stomach when I found out,” said Nerlino, who lives in Nesconset. “I’m really gonna miss it.” Nerlino and other longtime customers will have to go elsewhere for the steaks, sandwiches, sausages, store-made pastas and sauces that have been staples of the family-owned market since it opened on Terry Road in 1984.
