classic italian deli! great sandwiches and prepared goodies. nice selection of italian grocery store items. can't go wrong here for sure. there's a reason they've been in business so long. staff is great and friendly and accommodating! hours could be longer but that's a benefit and luxury you get after so many years of serving the community. interior looks like what you expect an italian deli to look like. great ambiance. i'd go before or after the lunch rush to avoid any extra long lines read more

the food is great! Owner Anthony is a sandwich artist! He & his wife & staff are friendly & keep the considerable line moving. Whenever you visit Dante's, you end up in friendly conversations while you're waiting & the wait is ALWAYS worth it! read more

Dante's Deli is by far the best Italian deli around. The imported meats and cheeses are top quality, the hot dishes, paninis, and wraps are out of this world delicious. Always fresh, always hits. Highly recommend. read more

SO GOOD. Everything is extremely fresh and high quality. The staff is very friendly. I got a sandwich and it was the best I've ever had. Homemade mozzarella and meat cut fresh for every sandwich. Unreal. Only thing is they do not have gluten free bread like some other reviews may suggest. They can make any sandwich into salad. read more

In this area God bless many more years of great food and good neighbors read more

Food quality is exceptional. Authentic items you can only find in Italy. Woman who works there was so friendly and sweet to our family :) we come back every time we are in the area. read more

Food is awesome and Anthony and his wife are great. My beef is the counter help. I don't mind paying almost 20 dollars for a sandwich however I want what I ask for. The staff speaks broken English and cannot understand certain orders. While I'm allergic to mayo, no matter what, the staff INSISTS of loading my sandwich up with mayo and not MUSTARD like I asked. Also, they tend to make a sandwich of what they think I ordered instead of what I said. The best one is when I asked for roast beef with yellow American cheese, the deli worker asked me THREE TIMES about what kind of cheese. All THREE TIMES I said YELLOW AMERICAN. After asking me again what kind of cheese I wanted, I walked out. I'm not spending almost 20 dollars for a roast beef sandwich with alpine Swiss loaded with mayo when I simply said SEVERAL TIMES roast beef with yellow cheese and mustard. Sorry if you feel I'm nitpicking however I didn't order something that would freak a counter person out. read more

I had a great welcoming experience coming here. People were friendly, place looked clean, and the wait wasn't too long to get a sandwich considering I came at lunch time. I got the "Italian Meatballs" panini and it was so delicious and enough for to meals. Worth what I paid for because flavor, crunch, and size were great! read more

Wow! Just wow. It doesn't get any better than this! Dante is THE BEST Italian American deli that I've tried in all of the greater NYC region. So if you located in the boroughs, it is DEFINITELY worth the trek up to the White Plains / Scarsdale area to check this gem out! What to check out: - You can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches, paninis, or wraps! Oh, and they are HUGE! Try the Italian Rosemary Ham Panini or the IL Piccolo Fabuloso... but, honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them! - The fresh prepared food! Are you ready for a flavor explosion? You can't go wrong with anything here. Standouts include the Vegetable Risotto and the Stuffed Peppers (get the ones with sausage). - The Italian food imports. Dante features a huge selection of import food items from Italy ranging from sauces, to pastas, to cheeses, and meats... just to name a few of the categories they carry. But go in and see for yourself. Their selection of both staples and gourmet items is quite large. I could go on and on about this place, but I think you likely get where I'm going with this review. This place is really first-rate, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area! read more

Finally stopped in here for lunch. Such a cute Italian grocery/deli store. Everything looked so good. They had lots of options from specialized Italian grocery items to variety of cheeses, salads, olives, etc. They had a lot! Definitely worth a visit. Our paninis were delicious. The chicken and fig was so good. Everyone was friendly and nice. I will definitely be back. read more

Must have panini's! Our favorite is the chicken and fig panini. Delicious Italian homemade dishes! Everything is so fresh- Do not deprive yourself of the experience ! Get there early. If there's a line, be patient as great food takes time to prepare. read more

Mannnnnn, fuck Dante and his deli. Drive out the way after being recommended to go here, arrived at 10:15 am. After being on line for 5 mins, the guy making the food turned to everyone and with an attitude yells" everyone, no more custom sandwiches, what you see here is what you get, if you want a custom sandwich order ahead". With a serious fucking attitude. Walked right out without a second thought. 10:15 am and you can't produce a fucking sandwich outside of using the hot tray food already prepared? Fuck you dante ! read more

SIMPLY THE BEST. No frills New York Italian deli. Food always on point. They use quality ingredients and come up delicious flavor profiles for their sandwiches. They use fresh sheets of pasta to make their lasagna. And the ladies that work there are always super friendly and helpful. The only thing that is holding them back is the 1900s ordering system and the freaking parking lot. But hey, when you're making BANK, you don't need to change a thing. read more

Ordered Italian and chicken wedges Best I ever had and the service was so friendly It was like picking up food from family read more

I don't understand anybody who got food here not giving Dante's five stars. it's a little piece of the best of Arthur Avenue, but in Westchester County. The place has every ingredient you will need or want (and some you'll learn you need) to make an authentic Italian meal, right down to squid ink. But beyond that, the prepared foods are top of the line. They are so good I call them "dart board meals", meaning that I could choose any one, even one I normally would not, and it'd be great. I have been going here for years and the worst thing I can say about it is that I haven't gone enough. The "meatball panini" I got today was so big that 1/2 of it weighed as much as a full sandwich elsewhere, so the second half gets eaten tomorrow. Go here. Get anything they sell. It's popular, so don't go expecting McDonald's speed, but you won't get McDonald's (lack) quality either. read more

Been going there for years... products are genuine, top notch and fresh... my favorite Italian shopping spot. Anthony is the BEST!

Wow. Dante's has some very delicious wraps. In simplest terms, their ingredients taste very fresh. Nothing terribly fancy. Just plain good food. read more

Dante Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - White Plains, New York

The motherlode of Italian delis. If you want dishes, cheese. cookies, prepped chicken marsala, or baked ziti for 15 (sparing you the trouble of waking up at 6am to make the Sunday sauce) it's all here. Like Arthur Ave was transported to White Plains. Had a meatball panini w sesame crusty bread w pesto, sun dried tomato, provolone, hot sopressata, capicola, and well even the meatballs.... more than a human should eat at lunch...so it became dinner as well. Parking is bit of a pain in the backside....small lot and on a Friday it's total chaos (Italian ladies scrambling about picking up the weekend family meal prep) White Plains is kind of sterile/dismal...but if you are here this is absolutely a must stop... read more

Mozzarella is most excellent and the mortadella special is superb. When you want something that's worth it / special / proper and don't want to mess around with other places that just don't hold up. So good! read more

Always fresh, always delicious. Never had a bad meal! If you want Italian specialties run here!!

I've been going there for over 20 yrs Always a good experience! My last visit today I got home emptied the container of sausage peppers potatoes and found a roach in my food! I hope it was a one off! The owners a very nice people! read more

Get there early or call ahead. Only open for lunch. Dantes has all fresh ingredients for the best sandwiches and paninis you have ever had. My favorites are the egglant and now the italian meatball which i split today with the wife. Not cheap $17 but enough to feed two adults for lunch. Everything is made to order and thus the long wait. read more

It's perfectly fine to be proud of your work and focus on quality vs speed. You've built a successful business and if people are too busy to appreciate it they can pass their way. However, this doesn't entitle you to ignore "new customers" who've been waiting for 15min without even being acknowledged. I wish Dante's another 60 successful years ahead, and hope the attitude will change at some point. read more

Dante Delicatessen - Outside - Delis Near Me - White Plains, New York

Nice store overall, but somewhat idiosyncratic, I ordered the steak sandwich. The sandwich was quite expensive at $17, but a good size and included pieces of ribeye. The sandwich was messy due to the sauce, taste was ok, but honestly not quite what I was expecting for the price. Service was leisurely (20minutes from arrival to an empty store mid-afternoon), but friendly. Once complaint is that the next guest to order 10minutes after me received their sandwich first which seemed a bit odd. In any event, nice store, but a bit too off the mark for my tastes. Atmosphere was 4 stars Food 3+ stars friendly (but slow) service 2+ stars Total value 2 stars read more

We've need coming here for years now and the food has been wonderful until now. My wife's a teacher at a local school so I went to pick up lunch for her and a fellow worker, two of their regular sandwiches so ordered for myself the "prime rib "sandwich. When I opened it it was choice steak in bbq sauce according to Anthony with a piece of cheese on top. The description says nothing about bbq sauce, so beware if you want to order one of these sandwiches it looked like slop on a roll. Ps I just left it and walked out. read more

Great food ALWAYS... on point no matter when I go ... everyone is friendly no matter how busy they are

Simply the best. Get the specialty sandwiches. If you want a simple turkey and cheese, they can do that too but this place is special because of the love they put into their specialty sandwiches. read more

The sandwich was ok ! What I really loved was the customer service... when I walked in I had no idea what I was doing as it was my first time ! The girl came to the front with a smile she helped me choose what I wanted on my sandwich ! They had lotssss of cheese options ! Sandwich just wasn't what I expected read more

Dante Delicatessen - Honey Turkey and cheddar cheese with arugula, oil and vinegar - Delis Near Me - White Plains, New York

Dante has the look of that old-country, quintessential Italian deli that you'd see in The Bronx's Little Italy. It's jammed packed with salamis and sopressata. Large Cheese selection- always rock my socks. Dante is located in White Plains' Central Avenue. It has everything you'd expect in a great Italian deli. Stocked with ceramic serving platters, fresh or dry pastas and other Italian goods. From my angle, everything, looked amazing. Well... let me put it to you this way... If you're in the mood for cooking up an Italian meal, Dante will hook you up. Service is incredibly friendly and Anthony, helped me select a few pieces of Taleggio and a Roule with Cranberries. No ifs ands or buts about it, Dante's prices are steep and foods are the freshest as they get; but trust, Italian items are far better here, than buying at Whole Foods. Don't get me wrong, WF is good for certain things, just not for authentic, Italian fare. read more

I've wanted to stop by Dante's for months and finally got the chance today. Glad I finally made it! When you walk in you are hit with an intoxicating smell of cured meat and cheeses. It's simply heaven. After walking over to the order line, It became clear I was in for a long wait. There were like 7 people on line and the 2 workers who deal with customers took forever to get orders ready. Like 15 minutes to get a sandwich and pizza, and 20 minutes to get some cold cuts and cheeses. But it was worth the wait! Actually, the food here is really amazing. I wanted to get a sandwich and also some stuff to take home. I wasn't sure what to get for my sandwich, but I overheard some guy ahead of me ordering a custom panini, and it sounded so good that I got what he got. It came with fried zucchini flowers, fresh mozzarella, and prosciutto. The thing was so good, I seriously ate it in 3 minutes. Actually it was better than good. It was euphoria inducing. Can't wait to try another one of their sandwiches. As for the deli meats, the capicola and soppressata were delectible. I got a half pound of each which set me back like $16 bucks. But hey, you can't find stuff like this everywhere, so it was worth it. Five stars in the end. Great spot. Worth the trip even if you aren't in the area. read more

Food is A+ very good. Only gripe is that you will be standing in line for. While during lunch hours. Try going before or after lunch around 11 or 2pm and you might only see a few people ahead of you. read more

This was going to be my first time as a customer at this deli. I walked in and saw that everything looked great. I checked the prices of some things that I knew what the prices should be and some prices were very high while others were fair. I waited for a while. There were two other customers in the store at the time and about 5 employees. The staff seemed to think my wife and I were invisible. Another person entered who was ignored. Then finally another person entered who was helped immediately. I queried if I could be helped as I had already been waiting for about 10 minutes and the employee in a blue polo shirt was extraordinarily rude and told me to wait for the next person to help me. I left and decided to call to let the establishment know what had happened. The lady who answered said she was a manager. She seemed like she was about to start to apologize until she asked me if I was still outside in the parking lot. I said no. At that point her tone changed. I said that I just wanted to let them know so they could improve their service. She came back at me to say that they had been in business for 22 plus years so they must be doing things right. Good luck in your next 22 years!! I doubt you will still be open with that attitude. read more

I've been going for years, moved..., life got in the way..., too busy..., returned Sunday for the best sandwich I've had in a long time!!! I'll have to smell the flowers more and put this stop back into the routine. Great job Anthony and family! I'll see you in the coming days. Anthony M. read more

Calling Dantes in White Plains a "delicatessen" is a misnomer. Dante's is the best place to go for fresh pasta, I.e., ravioli, lasagna, and lots of delicious meals made and presented everyday. A sandwich in Dantes is more than a standard sandwich - Anthony and Giovanna and their staff have created fresh and delicious combinations that are worth waiting in line for. We catered a party last week and everyone, even our most picky friends, we're raving! There's usually a line but the staff keeps things moving and the wait is certainly worth the food they offer. We thought we wouldn't find a place that makes authentic Italian food like we did when we lived in our Italian neighborhood in the Bronx, but Dante's is even better! read more

The best....never disappoints. Worth the line. It is the real deal. Tight fit inside.

We just had a party for my graduating daughter. Dante's catered it and I could not have been more pleased. Both Anthony and Giovanna were very helpful, friendly and full of energy whenever I talked to them. They are very confident in the quality of their food because they are committed to doing things well. My order was beautifully wrapped and presented. It was delicious and the whole family was delighted with the meal. I am so happy that we used them for this event. Well done! read more

If you want an authentic Italian neighborhood deli to buy the ingredients for cooking or take out meals or great cheese, charcuterie, olives, salads & more this is the place in Westchester! The best service with friendly & knowledgeable owners & team! They will give you advice on how to buy ingredients for your cooking, give you the homemade meal choices they make at Dante's or recommend cheeses & pasta.

I've been going to Dante's for over 20 years. I have never had a bad sandwich or meal. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. Anthony and his wife Giovanna are extremely knowledgeable and personable. They bend over backwards for their customers. Their sandwiches are fantastic, entrees delicious and huge selection of imported, domestic and artisanal cheeses fabulous!! For the quality and quantity prices are extremely reasonable. Check it out, you definitely won't be disappointed. You'd be hard pressed to find a gourmet Italian deli of this caliber anywhere in Westchester. Mike H Scarsdale read more

They were supposed to be open until 6pm. We went in at 230 excited and waited patiently in line for about 20 minutes. At around 250pm the manager turned off the lights and said no more sandwiches, just the items that are out. I asked him why no announcement we were in line and he said "sorry we have a family thing to go to" Terrible customer service. read more
