    Very good sandwiches here in Madison. Take out only for the most part but great places to eat at nearby, will definitely be coming back to alimentari.

    I discovered Alimentari after diving into some research on where to find the best tiramisu in Madison--and this Italian inspired store kept popping up again and again. Located in a small strip center with plenty of parking, it's a cozy little gem that's easy to get to. I came in with one mission: to try the tiramisu. A heads-up--they serve it frozen from the freezer, not fresh. But don't let that deter you. Once thawed, it was absolutely delicious. The texture was creamy, the flavor was well-balanced, and it was beautifully presented too. The store itself is a treat for food lovers. Beyond desserts, they also offer fresh pasta made daily, sandwiches, charcuterie boards, wine, and gourmet pantry staples like canned goods and high-quality olive oils. The staff were also friendly and welcoming! If you're craving a taste of Italy without the airfare, this spot is well worth a visit.

    Visited Alimentari for their sandwiches for the first time last Saturday. Went during brunch time and there wasn't too long of a wait. The venue is really cool, there's a wine section, a food section filled with various produce and a fully stocked fridge & freezer full of house-made goods. I ordered the soppressata sandwich. It was fantastic. The bread was crunch & chewy, the ingredients were fresh, and the sandwich was around $13. Huge fan of the sandwiches they're making and personally I think it is on par with Cassetta's sandwiches. Check them out!

    Stopped in for lunch and also picked up a few items for future meals--pizza sauce, noodles, and their housemade giardiniera. I tried the roast beef sandwich and really enjoyed it, especially with their horseradish sauce. It had great flavor and wasn't overly spicy, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more heat. The bread was a bit tough, which made the sandwich slightly harder to eat, but overall the flavor was excellent. This place is a great little spot to grab a bite and stock up on some quality ingredients for dinner at home.

    smoked turkey on focaccia
    Lindsay K.

    This had been recommended to me and it was right next to an appointment I had. So I finally stopped in and overall had a wonderful experience - both ordering and eating. I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich, and the gentleman taking my order pointed to a random piece of focaccia on display on the counter and asked if I'd like my sandwich on that. I don't know what kind of bread if normally comes on, but I have since read about the thicker/crustier bread on some reviews. Gosh am I glad he offered the focaccia. The bread made this sandwich, it was sooo good. It was light and fluffy despite being substantial in size, and had this delightful little crunch from the sea salt on it (not in a salty sense, just in a wonderful texture sense). There was a ton of turkey on it and it was a yummy smoked flavor. The other fixings were standard but complimented the sandwich very well. The sandwich was tasty and filling. All this said, because I paid $16 for my sandwich, I wouldn't make it a regular occurrence, maybe a special treat. But if it's on regular bread, particularly a harder crust bread, I think I'd skip it entirely. You do get a lot of sandwich for your money, but I just can't justify it. So, overall, this is definitely worth trying and deciding for yourself - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Spicy Sopressata Sandwich
    Ben M.

    The food lived up to its hype. The taste is incredible, only problem I had is with the bread. It's so tough, that the meat starts falling out the other end after every bite. I had to keep rotating the sandwich and figure out how to avoid it falling apart. The place itself is a bit crowded and is the market has some crazyy prices for random producrs. Staff are friendly too

    Marinated artichoke

    The service was wonderful, the deli guy was so very nice - even with my annoying questions! They were pretty fast, even with a lot of people there, but I wouldn't recommend stopping here if you're in a rush. The white wine spritzer was SO GOOD! And the sandwich was unreal. I ate the entire thing in one sitting. I wish I had another one to eat as I'm writing this. The iberico ham chips were terrible though!

    Pork Porchetta
    Olivia L.

    Such a cool Italian inspired spot off of Monroe. We wanted to try out their sandwiches and were not disappointed. The pork porchetta was unreal. I highly recommend it to anyone who's obsessed with goat cheese like myself. We also ordered the pastrami and Swiss but realized after we got home they forgot to add the cheese. I will say, although the bread was delicious, it was a bit thick for my personal sandwich preferences. We showed up at peak lunch hours on a Saturday, so granted it was packed. However, there is so many packaged Italian items to browse through inside and even a dedicated wine and liquor corner. This definitely helps pass the time and we will be returning in the future now that I know all the ingredients they offer.

    I like to come here on my visits to Madison to get one of their delicious sandwiches and check on their variety of tasty Italian things like wine, liquors, cheese, canned fish, chocolates, and more. The space is nice and their service is friendly.

    Gino's Italian Deli - Meatball sub

    There is very little that makes me happier than a perfectly constructed sandwich. I was downright…read moregiddy eating this pastrami sandwich (which was beautiful, too, and sadly I did not snap a picture because I was too excited to eat it! It did not disappoint). Love this no-frills deli with the focus on what's important- amazing bread in perfectly balanced sandwich (and yes, for me that means not a TON of meat but it was satisfying and not meat-heavy. I thought the ratio of bread/cheese/meat was just right). Gino's also has a lot of pasta salad options (I've heard good things about both the Cajun chicken pasta salad and the pesto chicken salad but literally just made two pasta salads for this weekend so I'll have to try those next time). They also have ingredients for pizza in the fridge and pre-made lasagnas, pizzas, and desserts (Tiramisu!!!). It also sounds like they sometimes sell cannoli fresh, made-to-order. Great hidden gem, definitely check it out. I will say, I also got the Italian sub and I was less impressed with the meat/bread/cheese ratio (not enough meat, too much cheese) but that pestrami was chef's kiss. Also we saw a worker on break when we arrived and he was eating the meatball sub-looked incredible but we didn't try it this time (we were eating on the go and that can be tricky with meatballs!)

    Only a few options in Madison for a deli so I have to show Gino's some love. Their take and bake…read morelasagna is worthy of 5 stars (both small and large pan) but I find their pasta salads to be just ok. The store is small with a refrigerated section, a deli counter and some shelves that house a selection of dried goods, olive oils, seasonings, etc. It is not a deli that you would find in a larger city but you gotta take what you can get.

    I was in town for work and desperately needed a Hmong food fix. While options are limited in the…read morearea, this deli--hidden at the back of an Asian grocery store--is the real deal. I arrived with a huge appetite and ordered the purple sticky rice, crispy pork belly, papaya salad, and eggrolls. I was absolutely blown away. The papaya salad was on another level--perfectly tart and sweet, exactly how I like it. The pork belly was easily some of the best I've ever had; the skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat just melted in my mouth. It paired perfectly with the hot pepper sauce on the side. Top-tier food and wonderful service! Awesome and generous owners!

    I have driven past here a gazillion teams and finally stopped in today. While they have assorted…read moregroceries and frozen items, I was there for the deli in the back. They do have some seating but the vibe feels like this is more of a carryout place (which I did). They have not only hot items but also pre-packaged grab and go items located next to where you order. Ordering is easy-make your selection and pay in the front. I ordered a 1/2 pound of pork belly and a link of sausage. I liked that both were fresh and presented right in front of you. From an execution/taste perspective, both were good (but not great). The sausage was on the greasy side and lacked the punch of lemongrass and other seasonings that are the mark of a good hmong sausage. The pork belly was also good but lacked the true deep crunch and crispiness that the top layer should have. Definitely would recommend it as it's hard to find such items. I will also be sure to try their pho to see how it stacks up.
