I've been a patron of Anthony's Italian Deli for a long while. When I first discovered it, they…read morewere located in a tiny space out in the back of a commercial building on Florida Blvd. East. Now they are in a much better, but still cozy, space on Government Street. This facility has indoor dining space, patio dining space, and plenty of parking, including a back overflow lot. Anthony's has been in business so long due to authentic Italian cuisine, including a great variety of take out deli items. If you need some real Italian grocery items for your home, there's a good chance you can get them at Anthony's. However, if you would rather let them prepare your meal for you, that's an excellent option as well. I think they have a first rate muffuletta, and it's important to have the right bread and meats for those. This is something they have covered! Their Po-Boys are also my favorites. These are pressed so they are crispy and flattened. I typically like to get these with a small salad, which is indeed an excellent choice. If you have room, there's always some great dessert choices. Another consideration is picking up something to take home for later, I think a tub of high quality imported olives are a good selection. Don't forget their cheeses as well, these can lift your home cooking to a higher level. Next time you are in the Government Street Arts and Entertainment District, drop into Anthony's for a bite, dessert, or take home items. You'll definitely thank yourself later!

I haven't tried everything on the menu but have had the muffuletta (half makes 2 meals really and I…read moretire of it by then so reminding myself to never get a whole unless sharing & not worth making at home because getting all the ingredients would be wasteful unless feeding a crowd. I have always enjoyed the meatball poboy .. but because I don't live close, I was inspired to find a good recipe and did!! Always have Italian meatballs in the freezer for quick meals, but when in the area and in the mood for Italian deli I'll be back for a lunch special. Used to go to the one way down Florida Blvd & think this area was a good move for them. Very nice family run restaurant if you haven't tried it.

You can also buy pecan candy here and peanut butter fudge, they are good. The raw seafood here is fresh and the prices are reasonable. Friendly service also.

Y'all. Lamendola's Supermarket is the best kept secret for catering in and around Ascension parish…read more This is my second time ordering my Thanksgiving spread from them and I 100% have ZERO regrets. It would've costed me a small fortune to purchase all the ingredients and make everything myself. For less than that, I was able to get a fried turkey, cornbread dressing, rice dressing, macaroni and cheese, broccoli and cheese rice, sweet potato casserole, green beans, gravy, dinner rolls and a pecan pie. I ordered some peach cobbler too just for a little extra razzle dazzle. The food was delicious and the leftovers are even tastier! Huge caveat--THEY DELIVERED it to my doorstep on Thanksgiving day! The lady who delivered actually brought everything in my house and set it on my counter for me. Top notch service! If you're wanting to try things before you go out and purchase the full spread like I do, their lunch deli runs their holiday menu during the week. Stop in and grab you a plate to try it out! You won't go wrong!

I ended up at this supermarket to get something to eat. Because I couldn't find any local hometown…read morerestaurants. I just kept coming across franchise after franchise which I didn't want.. I ended up getting the baked fish which came with corn, crawfish etouffee and I got the bread pudding for dessert( I paid less than $10 for this). The fish was moist a little salty but bearable. The crawfish etouffee over rice was really good and so was the corn. But the definite star of this particular meal was the bread pudding. I can honestly say the only place I've had better bread pudding was at Lil Dizzy's Cafe in New Orleans. I wish I would have gotten the name of the young lady that served me because she was awesome. Not sure when I'll work in the Gonzales area again. But I'll make it a point to come over here again when I do.

They have freshly made specials, muffulettas, and my goodness, the cannoli!! You really could get something different here every time you go! This is a great place to pick up something when you just don't feel like cooking, grab a host/hostess gift, enjoy some lunch, and share your experience amongst some really great people. They host occasional wine tastings and education nights, so make sure you follow them on Instagram. Just a wonderful experience when you visit! Saluti!

This has been my go to grocery store since I started working late nights in Gonzalez. It's the…read moreperfect place to stop on my way home. It's well organized and designed like you'd expect a medium sized grocery store to be. Set up in a way where you almost have to go right upon entry. It's always clean, shelves are well stocked and everything is where it's supposed to be. Ralph's Market feels like a neighborhood grocery store. The cashiers and stockers are very friendly and personal. Maybe I go there too much but I find myself having personal conversations with some of them about their personal lives and other things going on in their world AND I'm not even from the area. Sure go here if you're in the area. I'd almost always prefer to support a store like this which is independently owned instead of one of the larger chain grocery stores where you don't get the personal touch. The deli also serves lunch and breakfast with several options on each. I've had the breakfast with no complaints and even a slice of pizza one day. Also, two of the ladies I work with go there to get salads on a regular basis for lunch. But there's also more hardier options available.
