    The Sub "Marino"
    Jack M.

    Meagerly-meated Italian submarine with interesting flavor profile, yet poor condiment execution. We ordered the standard Marino's Italian which is made like a new-world Italian sub (Genoa salami, capocollo, provolone, topped with onion, lettuce, tomato, Italian dressing). They also slide a crushed meatball in there. The meatball is a surprisingly nice addition. The breaded pork/beef blended meatball with the sharper flavored leanish meats makes for a nice hot/cold combo. The meatball is well-executed and flavorful. However, this sub has some fundamental flaws. 1) The portion of meat is inadequate. It's an overstatement to call it a "sub." It's more of a lighter sandwich on an Italian roll. 2) The sub had hot and wet lettuce on it. Hot/wet lettuce is perhaps one of the worst possible addition to any sandwich. This mangled wet ingredient adds an unpleasant and slimy consistency that deadens the palate and disappoints especially on sandwiches with a dearth of meat.

    I started a new job not far from this place. I was brought here to give it a try, and informed that for roughly 15 years my coworkers having been coming to this place. It's a tiny spot, but they would pack it full with a group regularly. Great hole-in-the-wall divey atmosphere, with only a handful of tables so come early or plan on taking it to go! Parking is a small lot, trucks will not fit. Walk up and order from the handwritten menu on the wall. If you happen to snag a table, they will bring the food out to you. We ordered the special, which was a meat sauce ravioli with bread. Only about $7 and surprisingly tasty! I have heard great things about their subs, and if you don't go for the food, go for the people. Everyone was very friendly and the staff were overly accommodating. They offered to bring up extra chairs when a few too many people showed up during the lunch rush! Overall lots of relaxed conversation, and it's clear everyone knows each other! When you're finished eating there is a trash can and a bin to set the dishes in. What a great local deli!

    SUPER SANDWICH I love searching for hidden gems and Mariano's deli delivered. When I arrived at the icy parking lot I met a sweet old lady who asked me to help her through the snow. She told me how she was buying her son a gift card for Mariano's Deli. All I could think about was that her son is a lucky guy. As we walked in the store, I told her I was going to order my food and then I would walk her back to her car, after she bought the gift card. Finally, all of my years as a Boy Scout were finally paying off. Mariano's Deli opened in 1985 but the recipes were born in Italy in 1896 with Ralph Marino. He is the one who taught Mary Marino about cooking. Mary Marino known as "Nana" established her reputation cooking from the 40's through the 70's in various Minneapolis area restaurants. The best part...her recipes live on here at the restaurant every single day. The Meatballs are amazing and I'd highly recommend them. They even put sliced meatballs on their Italian sub sandwich. That's a first for me and it was really delicious. This sub sandwich was actually created by a customer who loved their daily Meatball sandwiches but wanted to eat something new on the menu. All I can think is that this customer was a culinary genius. They literally mixed two sandwiches and created something new. I learned that I could order the sub "Old School". Which means they will actually smash the whole Meatball on the sandwich. That is how they first made it for the customer who created it. I didn't learn this great tip from the owner Ralph, until I was leaving. I'm totally ordering it that way the next time I dine here. The bread is baked fresh daily using a family recipe. The sandwich is the best here and I'd totally get it again. I had the lasagna too but I wouldn't recommend it. I ordered it with a side of meatballs and that was the highlight. The lasagna is very simple with noodles, sauce and cheese. It lacked any complexity or depth. I guess I was hoping for more from the lasagna. You definitely do not want to miss this five table grocery store gem. You might even catch Ralph doing his paper work on two of the tables. No really. When I walked in it looked like he was doing his taxes. Ha! I simply love family businesses because they have all of the charm in the world. I can't wait to come back for that fantastic sub sandwich again. Every deli should add fresh meatballs to their Italian sub sandwiches.

    This is a solid deli. It has many options including much more than sandwiches. Take home pizzas, lasagnas, spaghetti, ravioli, or have a deli sandwich in your choice of bread. Sandwiches come with chips (Ruffles?) and a pickle. I have had at least four different sandwiches and an entree all were pretty good. Good enough to keep me coming back and trying something different every time! It's a family owned business and they are happy to speak to you at your table if you decide to hangout. The place has been around for a while and I don't suspect it's going anywhere anytime soon. The prices are good and so is the food and service. There is a parking lot on the south side just off Johnson Street or you can just park on a side street nearby.

    I didnt feel like cooking dinner today and since I was in the area, i decided to pick up dinner at Marino's Deli. It's a family-owned, and pretty small Italian deli with about 4-5 tables (?). They offer a lot of sandwiches on their menu, but since i wouldnt be eating the food right away, i decided to order lasagna, and jumbo ravioli with sausages to go. It was very inexpensive and the portion was also pretty nice. I really liked the sausage. It was flavorful and spicy. The ravioli was huge and tasted decent. My bf didnt like the ravioli that much because of the filling. He liked the lasagna a lot and thought the marinara was pretty good, but for me, the lasagna was a bit on a mushy side after reheated. Overall, it was decent, and very affordable.

    Having grown up a few blocks away from Marino's, I had the chance to visit often. They have delicious sandwiches, awesome pasta, and everything is very fresh. I'm a spaghetti addict so I'd suggest their spaghetti and ask for a slice of mozzarella melted on top. Pick up a loaf of their fresh bread when you're there, too. It might not make it home, though. Soft and crusty and perfect! Most of my family swears by their Sub-Marino sandwich.

Today I tried their Roast Beef on Weck, which is carved roast beef on a type of roll called a Weck (a Kaiser-style roll topped with coarse salt and caraway seeds.). The restaurant was busy, and this is not a trendy place! I'd be surprised if there was anyone in the restaurant who was not of Medicare age (which also describes me; I'm not being ageist, just truthful). This is something that is available for lunch, during the week (not on weekends). Previously, I wanted to order this before. It was at the beginning of the lunch hour, so unfortunately the end pieces were cooked well-done. I asked if they would cut from the center, which is much more rare, but they wouldn't do that. This time, we came later and I could see that the roast beef was gloriously rare, which is what I like. The sandwich was quite enjoyable because it was juicy and flavorful. It comes with a side of cole slaw which is vinegar based (which I liked, but isn't traditional in the Midwest). It's difficult to find good, rare roast been in the Twin Cities, so this was another good find. My wife had the matzo ball soup, which remains high quality. The beef on weck sandwich (with coleslaw) was nearly $20, which is a bit on the expensive side. The service is spotty. It depends upon who is your waitstaff person (I knew it would be slow based on our previous experience with this person).

They also have a variety of items such as canned goods, pasta, eggs, etc. on the shelves opposite the meat counter. The entire place is quite sunny, pleasant, and cozy. On the other side is the eat-in, take-out deli sandwiches, that are made to order. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The bread is freshly made (crispy baguette type) and you have a choice of Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Tuna Salad, Smoked Ham, or Corned Beef. All sandwiches are $16.50 each (including tax) and come with a choice of mayonnaise, spicy stone ground mustard, red leaf lettuce, thin sliced red onion, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, raw grated horseradish, pickled jalapeno, and roasted bell pepper. The default includes all toppings so if you don't want everything, be sure to specify what you do NOT want. Surprisingly, they do not carry any diet soda, nor do they stock any national brands (only local pop). There is a large menu on the wall, and you order at the counter and pick up the order (no table service). The food was attractively presented, and very, very good. My only gripe (besides the lack of diet pop) is that it's on the expensive side for lunch. Two sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a couple of cans of pop will easily top $40, although I'd say the quality is top-notch.
