There's a two-sided counter in the middle with freezer and refrigerator cases full of deliciousness on one side and the sandwich and cold case items, like macaroni salad, eggplant rolls, marinated olives, etc. on the other. I had the Italian sub, and our group also ordered an Italian Beef and a Meatball sub, plus some macaroni salad to share. All were made to order and were delicious. We didn't have a cooler with us of we'd have picked up the lasagna as recommended by a man picking up dinner for guests and his wife, or some of the fresh sausages or meatballs. Highly recommend eating here in general and definitely before going to nearby Rolling Stones or HIP!

They have an array of variations and several different assortments of Italian seasonings, sides, desserts, sauces, frozen pizza, cans of goodies for all of your main dishes and not to mention fresh bread! Service was friendly and efficient! We got there right before noon on a weekday afternoon and it started getting packed quickly! Their 12 inch sandwiches are HUGE. We really enjoyed their arranchini ! It's the best one I've ever had and the second best one my husband has ever had next to the ones he tried in actual Italy! Loved their chewy texture and offering it warmed up with sauce. Delectable and simply devine! Would love to come back to try their breaded steak sandwich ! You can't go wrong with whatever you order. Their homemade spicy sausage is also amazing! Decently affordable for the quality that you're getting. They take both cash and card. Really enjoyed the old school Italian Chicago neighborhood vibes!

Tired of walking the same five aisles at your regular grocery store? This place is the antidote…read more The first thing that hit me walking in was how different everything felt: shelves stocked with items I don't normally see, the kind of variety that makes meal planning fun again instead of routine. If you've ever stood in your usual store wondering why every dish you cook ends up tasting the same, this is where you go to break that cycle. It's a big store, but don't let that intimidate you. I expected to get turned around a few times, but the layout makes sense and everything is easy enough to find. What really stood out was the produce and the fresh sections I walked through. You can tell things are turned over regularly, nothing looked tired or picked over. Now, the honest part. Prices here run about 20% higher than what you'd pay at a typical grocery store. That's the trade-off, and I want to be upfront about it rather than let you find out at checkout. But here's the thing: if that difference doesn't break your budget, this is absolutely worth it. You're not just paying for groceries, you're paying for the chance to discover something you wouldn't have found anywhere else in the neighborhood. So if you're the type who gets a little bored buying the same brands week after week, do yourself a favor and take the detour. Wander the aisles, grab something you don't recognize, and let this place shake up your routine a little. Sometimes the best meals start with a store you didn't expect to fall for.

I drove all the way back to the store with my baby in my arms to return them. Instead of simply replacing the eggs, the female manager was extremely rude and had me stand there for about 20 minutes holding my baby while she reviewed security cameras to determine whether the eggs were already cracked. What stood out most was how rude and condescending her demeanor was toward me throughout the entire interaction. She was smirking and speaking to me in a very dismissive and disrespectful way. All of this over a carton of eggs. I have spent a significant amount of money at this deli over the years and have recommended their premade food to many friends and family members. The way I was treated was both disrespectful and embarrassing. I have never experienced such poor customer service. After this experience, I will not be returning.
