John was very friendly and you can tell has a genuine passion for what he does, and it shows in how he treats his staff. The restaurant is clean, free of dust, trash, and they have music playing. The sandwich bread comes from up Fresno I believe. I had to ask because of how soft the sourdough bread is. They bake the bread to ensure it is fresh and soft. I also opted in for macaroni salad which was surprisingly delicious. The macaroni was firm and the dressing and overall dish was nice and cold. I appreciate a good sandwich that isn't salty, and this Rattler was a perfect balance of bread down to the lettuce and sauce. Surprised this is my first time seeing this place. This is my new "Sandwich Spot" whenever I'm in the area. Thanks!

FIRST OFF! When asking how do you make your Meatball…read moreSandwich there is 1 correct answer! These guys NAILED IT! I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich.

After a long waited update on my review, I'm happy to say that DeFalco's has won my tastebuds!…read more This is a local business that truly cares about their customers and values the quality of their food! From the deli selections and warm dishes to your overall experience. They want you to enjoy every last bite and interaction. My first experience with DeFalco's wasn't what I expected and I think it was because of the pesto sandwich that was overhyped online. However I shouldn't have been so quick to judge them off that one dish! The management team reached out right away and asked that I give them another go! And so I did!! We ordered two pizzas (Margherita and sausage) as well as their chicken pasta! Instantly obsessed and one of the best pizza I've had in Phoenix!! Thank you so much to the team at DeFalco's for caring for your customers and pouring love into the food and community!!

HOWEVER, after walking in on a fairly-busy Saturday, DeFalco's was not welcoming, no one greeted us, it was confusing, no clear line or organization to queue people to order/pick-up/ask questions/etc. it smelled of nothing, not food. the Denny's-like kitchen was in the back. the only thing front-facing was a few cold salads beyond the mass of people looking at menus and in general not knowing where to order or go. so it was tough to even get a looksy at that junk. i went to use the restroom before we ordered, as one does...there was a gentleman already using the one urinal, so i hopped into the stall to peepee, but unfortuntately the toilet had lots of poop stains all over the bowl. this is gross. i do not want to eat here and think about your poopy bathroom. not welcoming, not organized, too much visible poop. no, thank you. bye.

I asked for my dirty sauce on the side and did not receive it on the side. I was nervous because I have a lot of allergies, but it ended ok. I got the Cupid bread because it's close to Valentine's Day so they have hot pink bread. That made the experience more fun for sure! The sandwich was delicious and too big for me to eat. I had to save the other half for later, but I am not complaining! Great portions and great sandwiches. The bread was a little harder than I would've liked, but other than that, everything was good. I ordered it online and when I went to pick up my order, the place smelled amazingggggg. I would definitely go again.

We got the Zinger and Here Comes the Sun breakfast sandwiches, the potato sidekick, kale salad, and botanical drinks. I love that they have 2 caffeine free "tea" options! The eggs in the sandwiches were the perfect level of just slightly runny. And I don't know what magic bread they use but it never feels overly heavy. The potato sidekick is amazing! I would order that again to take home and serve with dinner. I love the kale salad and it never disappoints. Cool and sweet and getting your greens in is a win! Huge fan of Zooks and hope someday they can open a central Tempe location!

Several years ago I tried Romanelli's food at the Farmers market at Sun City. I thought their…read moremeatballs were very good. My brother saw their Facebook page and thought we should have lunch at their deli in Phoenix. We brought our friend along and made it a threesome. My brother and I had the Robert's Special (Roast Beef, Pastrami, Provolone Cheese, Tomato, Mayo & Onion, Served Hot). My friend had the George's Special (Ham, Capicolla, Salami, Mortadella, Pepperoni, Provolone, and Hot Peppers or Sweet Peppers). The consensus was unanimous. The bread is great. The meat was too! To finish off our meal we all had a Cannoli. Magnifico. The crunchy shell was dusted with powdered sugar and the filling was sweet and creamy. There is an array of Sandwiches, entrees, soups , and specials. Same for the bakery. A sweet list of cakes, cookies etc. Parking can be a problem. Not enough spaces to park. I suggest you have your lunch earlier than noon. Tables will be full at that time. Looking forward to trying something different on my next visit.

Some others that are definitely worth mentioning is their pizza buying per slice (great portion size btw), and their pastas! A must when visiting is getting their pistachio Dubai chocolate cannoli!

One thing that really stands out to me is that this deli/ grocery has been in business for a long time and the owners/employees are so welcoming and make you feel at home! They welcome you with genuine happiness. They have outdoor seating and they offer to go. They do have 2 spots for accessible parking and a few ramps.
