A treasure of the community, they’ve served us food for a long time. I love the vibe, that they’re family-owned and run, and the variety of Italian foods to buy. I always pick up some of the Italian fruit gummies as a treat. Foodwise my favorite is their steak sandwich; it’s simple but hearty and done right. Tri-tip sandwich is also good. They make their own ravioli by hand; it’s small and so soft that it often falls apart on the fork, but it’s tasty. I also love that when you buy a steak dinner, you can get penne pasta as a side! Just beware that parking is tight, so you may have to park on the residential street nearby. And they close at 5pm, so get your dinners early — there’s usually a line!
AMAZING! the meat is soo soft and delicious! I believe it s a family owned! it has the atmosphere of a small city! I loved it! The meat, omg 😋😋😋😋
4/5 for the tri rip sandwich. Was gonna get the steak sandwich but got recommended to try the tri tip instead. It was solid but not anything special. Waited in line for 40 mins though on a Saturday afternoon which was kinda annoying but expected. Would come again to try different stuff.
After a great long walk exercise, we decided to have our lunch at this place, and we ordered Steak Sandwich, 1/2 BBQ Chicken, and a slice of Pistachio Cheese Cake. It seemed like this deli was always packed with long lines, and we waited perhaps more or less 20 minutes. It's pretty straightforward to order in front of what's available. And we managed to get a table while waiting for our turn to order. Having the food wasn't a long wait, and we thought that there was a great flavor for the sandwich; the chicken had a bit of overpowering flavor, and we did enjoy the Pistachio Cheesecake; we felt it fresh, we just didn't like it much of too strong not sure whether that's the essence from vanilla or pistachio that's almost killing the flavor of the pistachio and cheese. Overall, we were happy we visited and tried the food and dessert they offer.
I love going to restaurants that exceed your expectations and this is definitely one of those. As I was waiting in a long line to get to the counter to order my food, I changed my mind nothing short of a few times because of all the great plates I was seeing around me. Next time I go, I want to pick out the steak from the meat counter and have them cook it. The quantity is huge, the price is reasonable, and the service and food are great!
