Was craving for a good italian sub and found this hidden gem near my work! Located across from the hospital. Parking was easy; street and parking lot behind the restaurant. Inside was filled with Italian goodies. They sold alcohol, cookies, bread, pasta, cheese, etc. Towards the back of the restaurant was tables to sit down and enjoy your sandwich. Came here for the 1st time with my coworker and we tried the Classic 6' sub with 2 sides. I got the macaroni salad and broccoli salad. The sides tasted ok to me but could be better. However, the sandwich was very tasty. I love how much meat and filling it was. I ate it all! We got a piece of tiramisu and that was very very good! The prices are affordable and the portions are huge. Definitely a place to go for lunch or anytime you are carving for a good Italian sandwich! *TIP: call to place your order if you are in a time crunch. We waited for 30 minutes for our food.

This place is a hidden gem, feels and tastes like an authentic and classic italian deli! Not to mention they also have a min market inside with Italian based products and food. Price is also very reasonable compared to other sub chains. Will definitely be coming back !

My boyfriend's FAVORITE Italian sub! And that's BIG! We love Italian sandwiches and this is the best one close to our house. The spot is so cute inside! You can pick up a beer or a specialty soda! Yummy pickles cold in the fridge and a great variety of desserts. The service is always pretty quick but I personally like calling ahead! It's so worth it!!

I haven't been here since 1976. Feels good to be back in the neighborhood and see this spot still exist. The food is just as delicious as it was in 1976. The interaction with staff was wonderful. Extremely welcoming feels like your family.

With over 65 years in business they are doing everything right. The food is absolutely perfect. Fresh and delicious. High quality at a very reasonable price point. The employees are helpful and very polite providing top service. Inside if feels like an old school Italian deli. It is clean and gives you the feeling that you're in a welcoming environment.

This is another callback to my childhood. My Great Auntie Olga lived right down the way near the petting zoo and this was her spot. This is another place that I treat like Phillipe's with Cole's, don't talk to me about Tony's Frumentos is the only show in town. While on the subject Claro's can't touch them either, they are in a league of their own. When you walk in your are greeted with the vast amount of Italian imports that they carry. You can get sweets, wine, noodles, if you're looking for it they have it. The staff is very friendly and if you are having a hard time deciding they will steer you in the right direction. I know that this is a family owned business and you can see that it is run like that as well. I can tell you without hesitation there is not a wrong order on this menu. Everything is worth a try. If I am hosting their 30" Destroyer is hands down my favorite to take to a party, there are never left overs. When you go hot sandwich their chicken cutlet is very tasty and its not overly breaded. Their pasta dishes are really great. I think one of the hardest things to do is a simple spaghetti with sauce, and if you are ever just craving that this is the place to get it. All of their raviolis are great, I couldn't decide between the mushroom or the lobster. Their sides are all really good too. My favorite is the pesto pasta salad. I always find myself buying an antipasto screwer which is one of my favorite things. If you feel like popping in they have a nice seating area in the back. Get yourself a beer, wait for your meal, and wait to feel like you had a homemade meal prepared with love. They are impeccably clean an I have never seen this place out of sort before. When ordering before they close or on game days, make sure to order and pay before. It will save you time in line and you will be able to walk in and walk out. If you are wondering if you should try it, stop and just do it, you won't regret it.

Haven't been here since before the pandemic, still has great sandwiches, cold and warm, good selection. Pretty small service area, so it got really loud after a while. Very good value, I walked out full with half my sandwich wrapped up!
Best deli sandwiches and pasta in town Never disappoints..I like to call and order for pick up because they can get pretty busy during lunch and/or in weekends Recommend the corned beef on rye

If you're looking for a hidden gem for a fresh Italian sub, look no further. It's not the flashiest place and you'll probably miss it when driving by, but that's how you know the food will be good. Very fresh meat and cheese on my 6" Italy's Kiss sandwich. The menu mentioned it comes with arugula which would have made the flavor even better but mine came with spring mix... still a very tasty sandwich.
