Small shop with a lot packed into it. Mostly imported Italian goods. Service was top notch and…read morefriendly. Two sandwiches were ready pretty fast. The meatball sub was delicious with plenty of meatballs and extra sauce on the side. We also tried an Italian sub which was flavorful and fresh. I got a lasagna to take home too and that most pretty good but could've used more sauce. Overall a good experience and would definitely go back for the meatball sub!

Nice spot with lots of variety in store. Premade meals, sauces, Italian pasta, olive oils, and…read moreplenty more to browse. We ordered subs and they were tasty. The owner explained that his brother was in the military and that they decided not to offer any discounts, including military discounts, because they want to be fair to everyone. Very philosophical. Everyone fights for our country in their own way, I suppose, including when choosing pasta. The staff and owner joked with us a few times while we were there, and we want to share in the laughter. A kind thank you for your service is free and always truly appreciated especially for those who have sacrificed something more than just their time in the service.

As one of the main coordinators for our school teacher appreciation week luncheons, I had two…read moregoals: 1) Support local 2) Feed our staff WELL I chose Santini's due to their proximity to our elementary school and easy catering menus that were located online. We went with the VIP Board Room Lunch which for $17.95 per person included assorted sandwich platters, salad, chips, fruit salad, and a dessert tray. I sent an email request online and was contacted by a manager via phone to coordinate the details. School lunch times are ridiculously early and the staff came in an hour earlier than usual to make sure our order was ready to go by 10:15 am. Is that service or what? Everything was packaged beautifully so it was easy to serve, and the staff was so impressed by the quality of the subs and salads. Platters were plentiful and guests were able to go back for seconds which was amazing. Two small recommendations for next time: 1) Make sure to specify that the dessert tray is properly labeled. There were a few items with surprise nuts in it which could have been an issue if not spotted. 2) The catering menu mentioned that fruit salad would be served with the meal -- we got a few boxes of bananas instead which is a bit misleading.

I must say, the pizza and chips were absolutely delightful -- properly done and thoroughly…read moresatisfying. I'd dined here some time ago and had quite forgotten just how splendid the food is. It was a rather pleasant reminder. The pizza was spot on: beautifully baked with a crisp base and generous toppings, while the chips were golden, fluffy within, and exactly as they ought to be. Simple fare, perhaps, but executed exceedingly well. Ordering at the counter was straightforward and efficient, and the service itself was courteous and welcoming without being overbearing -- always appreciated. I shall most certainly be making a point of visiting far more regularly from now on. It would be a shame not to.

I love a local place and 'A Deli' in Fairfax Va is just that. Local and in a small strip mall near…read moreT-Mobile. This small spot is full of personality offering col and hot sandwiches, desserts, bottled wine, beer, and soft drinks that can be enjoyed inside or outside of the deli. From my perspective the best part about this place was the guy working the counter. He offered me a glass of wine as I waited for my 3 sandwiches to be prepared, and then sold me a bottle to take home. Great local space, one star off because the refrigerated crème brûlée was frozen and the sandwiches while prepared on some great crusty bread, were not especially memorable. Great experience

This was whe worst Meatball and Cheese sub I have ever had. Hardly any sauce and I couldn't find…read moreany cheese. Flavor was bad too. Terrible. Worst sandwich ever. And I have had a lot of sandwiches. My wife ordered a steak, egg and cheese sub. They added peppers without asking and the menu did not specify peppers. Maybe because there was no flavor. Also terrible. Don't ever go to A Deli.

Great little cafe with solid sandwiches. Their Sottopanino was a killer combination of meats and…read morecheeses with just the right amount of veggies, peppers and dressing. The roll was reminiscent of a Philly sub roll, which - now this may be polarizing - is the standard by which I judge all sub rolls. Philadelphia just has the best subs ;) Anyway - they use good deli meats here. I don't think they make their own fries, but they were nice and crispy with a bit of seasoning on them and went well with our sandwiches. My husband had the cheesesteak and said it was just meh - definitely steak-ums - but we are from the self-proclaimed cheesesteak capital of the world :) Don't pass up the dessert case though - I am not a sweets person, but they had this triple cheese thing that was like a cheese danish, but with a million times more cheese and just a little bit of pastry, we... uhhh... devoured it... It paired really nice with their house chocolate gelato, which was the definition of rich, decadent chocolate. The lady at the register was kind enough to allow us to try a side-by-side of the house and the machine gelato... word of advice... skip the machine, go with the house gelato - the flavor (and the serving size) knocks that name-brand, machine mumbo jumbo out of the park :) Honestly, just a great sandwich joint with a little store selling specialty items, many of which are from Italy (I will be back for some squid ink pasta the next time I am cooking for friends!). Lovely little gem :)

Great little small business!…read more Was looking for something near the mall and found this place. Menu is extensive and has a little bit of everything for sandwiches. The Chicken Little was medium sized but the flavor was more than expected and exactly as a chicken sandwich should be. Highly recommend- I can't wait to come back and try their other sandwiches as well. The owner was here as well and was super lovely to speak too.

Summary. I eat lunch here and enjoy it. Just be nice to the people behind the counter…read more For some reason people that go to lunch here are rude to the people behind the counter and this must stop. I was there to pick up a sandwich for lunch and witnessed very entitled customers treat the staff disrespectfully. Unacceptable. These men and women wake up early and are there everyday with a smile and a positive attitude and people walk into their business and speak down to them. No. Not on my watch. If you eat here, order from here or ask anything of the people tha work here- they deserve respect. The food is great. The tuna, is real, and the sandwiches are hearty. They have a little dining room and lots to choose from and the workers behind the counter deserve your respect and support.

In a word OUTSTANDING. Truthfully, there aren't too many bagel places left out there anymore in the…read moreNoVA area and the ones that are still out there, only about 10% of them are decent, serving authentic, quality bagels and bagel sandwiches. THIS PLACE IS ONE OF THOSE TOP 10%-ers! * Conveniently located (even though I hateeeee that little gummed-up stretch of Main Streer in Fairfax!!) but the shop is on the little side strip out of the fray of the main retailers Ace Hardware and TJ Maxx. Lot parking is abundant for a quick in and out if you're grabbing to go. * SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF and FAST, EFFICIENT SERVICE - I went in around 9AM on a Sat - no long line - walked right up to the counter and ordered - sat at a table and my order was called about 10 minutes later. * It was bfast time and I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sando $8 on a lightly toasted ET bagel - delicious and they didn't skimp on any of the ingredients! The bagel was big, hearty and chewy. A perfect breakfast to go. * PRICES ARE VERY FAIR and I felt I got good value for what I paid. $13 basically for a bfast sando and a bottle of juice (drinks are always a rip-off - $3.50, half the cost of my sando but it is what it is...) * The inside of the restaurant itself is sorta small and cramped - as you walk in, the left side is the ordering side, the right side is the seating area with a good amount of tables and chairs - most importantly, they keep the place neat and clean which is a big deal to me. It's a little dark and drab in ambiance/decor and I could see it getting a bit chaotic if the place fills up and with long lines at the counter. On nice weather days, there are some outside tables. I don't come to this area of Fairfax all that often - just happened to be in the area that morning and literally searched for a bagel place on Yelp and hardly any came up. Fortunately I happened to be close by. When I'm in the area again AND happen to be hankerin' for a bagel sandwich, I'll most definitely come back here again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INDIE BAGEL SHOP IN DOWNTOWN FAIRFAX!
