    BOBBY D. SPECIAL - fresh figs, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, parmigiano chunks, red peppers, truffle oil & balsamic on focaccia
    Kaitlyn P.

    A great spot on Arthur Ave in the Arthur Ave Retail Market! Heroes are huge, and made fresh to order. The focaccia bread was good, was a little on the dryer side for me personally, but still delicious. The Italian sushi is so unique but it's a must try. Our favorite place for sandwiches on Arthur Ave!

    This was our first visit to Arthur Avenue, and we ran into Mike's by accident, as it's tucked into the back corner of a semi-indoor market space. We were immediately greeted with a large menu and a cozy and casual little dining area- and couldn't resist trying it out. We had the homemade style wine, a cheese plate, antipasto platter and calamari and loved it all. For those with sensitivities, one word of caution is that folks can smoke in the marketplace area. Highly recommend Mike's- we would've stayed for more if we'd have known everything they had to offer!

    I've been wanting to come to this place, and also Arthur Avenue, ever since I saw the owner, Dave, have an eggplant Parmesan "throwdown" with Bobby Flay. Today, I finally made it to Arthur Avenue. I finally met Dave, the son of the late "Mike", and he was such a friendly person just like I remember seeing him on TV.. He got a chuckle, when I told him that I had re-watched the episode just this morning. The place is in the back of the Arthur Avenue retail market. The place is huge. They have deli meats, sausages, cheeses, antipasti, you name it, they have it. However, I was here for the eggplant parm, plain and simple. You can order it as a sandwich, or as a plate. I ordered the plate. You can also order it uncooked, and cook it when you get home. They have table seating. I ordered the Dish, and they brought it to my table. It was amazing! They peel the eggplant, and then cut it long and thin like lasagna noodles. It was not over breaded, and it was not greasy. The cheese that came with it was savory and delicious, and I loved the sauce, or "gravy" as Italians call it. The Dish was a total home run. It also came with bread, but they didn't give me any butter with the bread. Who cares? The bread was perfect for sopping up the rest of that wonderful sauce/gravy. . I want to come back. Thanks!

    1/23/25: this is THE place for Italian delicacies, sandwiches, hot food, deli cold cuts, olives, etc. and catering, as well. The people behind the counter know their products and are more than willing to help and deliver exactly what you ask for. At too many deli counters the staff can't slice cold cuts "thinly" and evenly. Here they are practically translucent. See the photos. Dave, the owner the late Mike's son, has trained the staff well. I miss coming here on a whim, when I lived not far away.

    Lunch here was delicious. I subbed vodka sauce in my sandwich instead of homemade marinara sauce, 10/10. My sandwich was thick and crispy. If you're coming to eat sit at the tables next to the meats and they'll come bring menus and take your order. The menu was huge so ask questions!

    The food is delicious the servers Medina and Brianna are Aces. Don't let the fact it's a deli fool you they have pasta dishes, meat dishes and my favorite to start is the Italian sushi place is what it is a market place but the service and food make up for that

    One of the few things I miss about the Northeast! This 75 year old deli can be found on Arthur Avenue! Home to the best Italian food in the US! Stop in for world class, homemade pasta, rice balls, calamari and an extensive list of mouthwatering deli sandwiches. The service is quick and the ambiance is no frills, but the food is some of the best you'll ever have! Prices are extremely fair for the portions.

    Nothing and I mean nothing here is a standout. It's in a perfect location at the retail market which is a tourist paradise ( used to be) Mikes has something for everyone. I recently had there heat at home eggplant Parmesan plate (small size but great portion 12.00) unfortunately 2 bites in and I'm done. Wry little sauce with no flavor ( I don't smoke or drink) The cheese is the type that will never melt or pull. Like the supermarket shredded cheese. The cutlets weren't fully cooked even after being cooked in the oven. Absolutely horrible.Im very disappointed. This was the 3rd worse eggplant I've ever had. The staff are 50/50 some are very helpful and friendly. The others are straight up get you what you need and keep moving. Would I return? Always do for this and that when I get here early enough. They do make a pretty good Pizza Rustica ( seasonal)

    Massive heros and tons to choose from. We split and loved the fireman's special plus the pesto pasta. I'll definitely be back!!

    My husband and I have been patronizing Mike's Deli for many yrs now. I pray they continue to be successful in business and quality. We honestly love every dish we've ever ordered. Some of our faves are the "Paula Deen", Cacio e Pepe, and the firecracker calamari. It's so hard with their extensive menu but just know that everything is made FRESH to order. Close your eyes and pick anything! *The dish I would not order again, would be the rice balls. I prefer a rice ball that crisp and hot out of the fryer, rather than reheated. Personal preference

    Definitely a must when I stop here in little Italy da Bronx. There in the WAY back on the right. It's a big counter with plenty of food and dry meats.. the service is nice and they want to help you out. So sometimes they do have free samples to try out or doesn't hurt to ask for a taste? The the place is basically a food mall inside of a big, very big auditorium the bars are in front of the place , it's a hugh space , there's is food everywhere inside!

    Cheese that I can't remember the name of, but is DELICIOUS, and I could only find at Mike's.
    Genevieve V.

    The wait was horrendous, but the prices and products were worth it! A little before lunchtime, there were 3 people behind the counter, but only 1 helping customers. Regardless, I tried a cheese I had NEVER had before and loved it, so went back and bought even more to take home! Couldn't find this cheese anywhere else, so worth the wait!

    Amazing heroes and samples of cheese and salmai served with love and kindness we will definitely coming back for the food and happy service!

I'm used to getting ravioli from an Italian Superstore that's dotted across Long Island. Good? Yeah maybe but what I grew up with? Nah. I'm in The Bronx and I'm going to stop at Borgatti's Ravioli for our Sunday dinner. Walking into the store, it's very small. There are high glass partitions, no touching just pointing. I see the various pastas and ravioli but I want the big suckas. Small ravioli? C'Mon! I made the best red sauce that I will drown these raviolis in a sea of tomatoes. The small raviolis just can't swim in my pot! The older gentleman behind the counter asks if he can help me. I ask him to open the box and actually show me the larger ravioli. Oh baby, they are large and in charge. Why I walked out with one box still boggles my mind because I should have bought 3. I'm not in the area too often and the extra boxes would have carried me through the winter. I hand over my cash and the gentleman says God Bless to me. I'm not getting blessings on Long Island! When I came home, my wife made the perfect Sunday dinner. Those raviolis came straight from the 70s. Simply perfect. God Bless us, everyone.

The Neighbourhood is chock, full of restaurants, pastry shops, meat markets, seafood shops, but the center of it all, is the Arthur Avenue retail market. It's a fantastic place. All of your shopping in one indoor space. You can get your groceries, your Italian meats, your veggies, you can stop in and have a beer, you can buy cigars, they had the only T-shirt shop that I saw up here, when Mulberry Street is full of them. You can get gelato, you can have a good glass of wine, you can have dessert, etc..... I stopped into Mike's deli (separate review) and tried the veal Parm that went up against Bobby Flay. It was excellent. I also stopped in at the end of my visit, to O'ccaffe, (separate review ) the pastry and coffee place right at the entrance to the market. The cappuccino was amazing, but the cannoli was a little bit different. I've always had my cannolis with a crisp shell. This cannoli, had a soft shell. The filling was excellent, but I just would've preferred a hard shell. Other than that, everything was fantastic. This place is worth a visit. Thank you.
