If you want authentic New York style Delly. And they have lasagna stuffed shells linguine spaghetti all kinds of stuff that you can take with you. We got the stuffed shells last Sunday should have got five of them

Sheila and the crew are awesome! Would definitely recommend checking them out. I have a small autobody business down the road and try to go at least once a week for the past 5 months and haven't been disappointed. Food is always great and fresh.

I had heard this was a good Italian deli from people. Went in today and was pretty disappointed. There’s just nothing like up north anywhere near here. Being from NY when I order an Italian sub, I don’t expect questions like “you want a large or regular?” Or “what do you want on it” - and the bread was from a plastic bag that reminded of the bread…

I’m really disappointed to have come here And it’s closed on a Monday. I cannot stand a business who can’t afford to employ somebody on a Monday the busiest day of the week. Do better

Reuben was actually made correctly. Ingredients were fresh and good. Staff is super friendly, establishment is clean. Thanks for doing it right! Cheers!
