My mom and I stopped here for lunch today and were both impressed. Caracciola's is a newer Italian deli in downtown Plattsburgh, and it feels like the kind of neighborhood deli you'd expect to find in New York City.
We split one of the specialty sandwiches, and it was excellent. Fresh Italian bread with a nice chew, quality Boar's Head meats, fresh ingredients, and a generous portion. It came with a choice of side, and everything tasted fresh.
Beyond the sandwiches, they have Boar's Head meats sliced to order, take-and-bake meals ready to heat at home, desserts, and a nice selection of Italian drinks. I tried a Sicilian lemonade that was new to me and really enjoyed it.
The staff was genuinely friendly, and the shop is clean, bright, and welcoming. There are a few tables inside and several outside if you want to enjoy the weather.
If I'm in Plattsburgh and looking for a sandwich, this will be my first stop. This isn't a chain sub shop. It's a real Italian deli making fresh sandwiches with quality ingredients. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more
