The Meg - Huge portion, easily split between two people. The buffalo was not too saucy and a little on the less than average amount of sauce. Chicken was plentiful and it can get messy. Macaroni salad was one of the best I've had; simple. I would come back to try other things on their menu!

They do classic hot and cold subs, but they also have specialty subs where they do parms, wraps, etc. Great to pick up a sub and go to the beach. I enjoyed the American - which is roast beef, lettuce, tomato, provolone, onions, and horseradish mayo (which I left off and did oil and vinegar instead). Roast beef pretty soft in texture. Provolone could have been a little more sharp/flavorful. Overall, excellent spot.

The eggplant was frie nicely and made for a solid sandwich. Should have ordered it with balsamic because it needed it. Chicken cutlets needed a little more flavor. Hit it with a little more salt and pepper. The bread though was good. The pasta salad's were no good. The pasta was hard not al dente. They also charge you for bags which was the weirdest thing I have seen at a neighborhood deli. Just add a $0.50 to the sandwich rather than charge for the bag. They do some good stuff here but I have it at 3.5 stars.

They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

It had the feel of a Tuscan restaurant. The host, Oscar, is charming and attentive. After we were seated, our server, Enver, advised us to order all the food at once and he would figure out what to bring out as appetizers, and then after some time to digest, the main courses. This is what we ordered. Appetizers: Deep fried stuffed olives - very tasty Roasted peppers with ricotta - get this - amazing Meatballs with ricotta - delicious Main course: Tagliolini Al Forno - Very good but if we had to pick one thing to exclude out of all the things we ate, this would be it. Spicy Rigatoni - Not on the menu but knew about it through other reviews. It lives up to the hype. In addition to crushed red pepper there are minced hot peppers in the sauce. You can't come here and not get this. We shared everything and I recommend family style so you can taste as many things as possible. Another off menu item that people rave about is the eggplant parm but Enver said they only serve it for dinner. I will be back. PS - After our meal, we started chatting with Oscar and he pointed out that behind Anjelica's is a Squash and Swim Club. It has two indoor squash courts and indoor swimming pool that looks like something from the 19th century. Really cool and worth a look if you are there in the afternoon.
