Ordered the Nonna Maria's potato and egg frittata on ciabatta today for lunch. It was beyond good, it was outstanding! It brought me back to my childhood home with mom in the kitchen making this beloved frittata for me. Topped with a few slices of crispy Speck ham only enhanced its flavor. Thanks Mike Greco for putting this delicious sandwich on your menu ! read more

After seeing an Instagram post about its Italian sushi, I decided to take a trip up to Bronx Little Italy. There's a line at this small aisle. I finally was served by Chef David Greco himself. He beat Bobby Flay in Eggplant throw down. You can see the picture of him on the show. Dave is super friendly and engaging. The Italian sushi is definitely very innovative. Soft prosciutto is rolled in sushi style with filling of arugula, cheese, and sun dried tomatoes. There are two kinds of dipping: balsamic and pesto. Both of them are complimenting the sushi. Eggplant parmigiana is definitely a must try. It's like a lasagna made of layers of thin fried eggplant. You can make mozzarella pull. So delicious, not surprised that he beat Bobby Flay. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I've tried finding mozz and mortadella as good as what they sell here in Italy, and I failed. No one beats Mike's when it beats to purveying the very best salumeria and cheese, among other provisions. The prepared dishes also hit different. The famous eggplant parm is phenomenal. I don't even like eggplant and I'm in love with this dish. All of the sandwiches hit too. The Italian sushi is interesting, but eat it fresh as the arugula doesn't stand up to refrigeration too well. My perfect foodie day is going to Mike's, buying some mortadella and a ball of homemade mozzarella, then popping into Madonia's next door to get a loaf and some fresh hand-filled cannoli. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

I have been going to Mike's Deli for close to 30 years and even knew the late great Mike! The food is always superb and the staff is wonderful! It has a homey Bronx Deli atmosphere. Mike's son Dave keeps the excellent food and ambiance going! One of my favorite food purveyors of in the world! Then again Dave has become a good friend! Always worth the trip to Arthur Ave in the Bronx! read more

A sandwich and soda should not cost $70 for two people. Tax and tip I can understand but a $4 fee for the privilege of splitting the tab plus the obligatory credit charge fee is a bit much. Rose was a delight but we won't be back anytime soon. read more

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. read more

DO NOT ORDER ANY GIFT from Mike' s Deli!! They are NOT CONCERNED WITH HOW IT IS SHIPPED NOR IF IT EVEN ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION. My association with them has been a nightmare!!! UPS either consumed or disgarded an expensive gift basket going to the UPPER EAST SIDE. It has been a week, and no delivery is noted. No one at Mike's wants to get involved. It's a despicable establishment. read more

i thought the big mike was an absolutely awesome sandwich. huge and should be split, especially given the area you're in. don't need to fill up all at one place since there are so many spots to try. staff is so friendly. its funny how many samples they keep coming at you with....cheese, bread, meat. take your sandwich and go grab a beer at the little bar in the middle of the market. read more

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) read more

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 read more

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! read more

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! read more

It's perfect for what it is - a deli featuring a huge variety of salami and other terrific stuff. Today I picked up a wedge of pecorino crusted with walnuts. Intense and wonderful. And of course some cherry peppers stuffed with parmesan and prosciutto, a perfect, spicy wake-up call to the taste buds. But what I go back for, again and again, is an incredible sandwich: sopresetta, mozarella, roasted peppers, lettuce, and tomato on a roll with oil and vinegar. It is the tops, and if Cole Porter had ever had one, he would have included it in his hit song, "You're the Top," along with the "nimble tread of the feed of Fred Astaire," among other blessings the world has given us. Oh - and the roast beef is divine. read more

Our group of three was ignored for over 15 minutes and seated at a dirty table. This experience was as frustrating as waiting endlessly at P.F. Chang's without ever receiving our order. My advice: it's better to order to-go. read more

Look at the crap in the photos. That's what they call a sandwich ? That's what they call food ? I wouldn't give that to a dog ! And when I called, they never honored my refund request, even after the woman promised it to me. She blamed it on "short staffing". That's NO excuse for sending out burned food like that. Been coming here for over 40 years. Never had a problem before. If they would have refunded me my money, I'd have been ok. Won't be coming here anymore. Place has gone to sh!t since the old man is gone. Go to Tino's one block over. Clean, quality food and the owner is one hell of a nice guy. read more

I recently visited Mike's Deli and just like all the other times I've gone it was enjoyable and consistently good. The sandwiches are large and reasonably priced, and the staff friendly and helpful. It's in the middle of the Arthur Avenue market, but you can sit at the tables across the way. I love the meats and cheeses on display. It can be hustling and bustling and you never know who you might bump into. Every time I visit I can't wait to go back! read more

As an Italian American I can safely say this is the best Italian deli in New York City! I'm only upset I haven't visited sooner. The big Mike Combo was by far the best hero sandwich I've ever had! Everything was perfectly proportioned and every bite had the perfect amount of every ingredient. The roll was perfectly soft and tender inside and perfect crispness on the outside. Just fantastic! The linguine carbonara was as good as any high-end Italian restaurant and I was shocked how superb it was for just a casual deli. Again, everything came together flawlessly. The pasta was cooked to s perfect al-dente. The sauce wasn't too thin or thick. Just wonderful! Service was warm and friendly. We were even asked by the owner how everything was. Though our empty plates obviously proved everything was great! This is a must visit if you're in the mood for the best Italian sandwiches you'll find anywhere and anything else Italian you desire. You can't go wrong.. read more

This is the best lunch spot in the Bronx for authentic Italian food. It's amazing especially the antipasto appetizer with different cheese and meat. They have samples galore and the customer service is impeccable :) I would recommend everyone to come here at least once in their lives. Not only is this part of a huge market but it also has other areas where you can sit down and eat and there's a bar too ! I absolutely loved the food here and the service. I wish there was one closer to me in queens but this is worth the drive to the Bronx ! I can't wait to bring my parents here they would live it ! - signed a true Italian Bella read more

I have spent a lot of time on Arthur Avenue but never checked out the Retail Market. This is a cool area that has a few different vendors.but Mike's Deli is one of those places you have to visit. This looks like your classic nyc deli located in a retail market. They have all the cold cuts in the window with all sorts of sides. My favorite is a chicken cutlet sandwich from a deli and they definitely have that here. I went with a chicken cutlet sandwich with mozzarella, sweet peppers, and balsamic vinegar. The bread is the resounding star. It is soft but also holds the sandwich together since the sandwich is loaded with stuff! The sandwich was not dry at all! So good. I also ordered some high quality parmesan which wasn't cheap but it was worth it. The person behind the counter was also very nice. I think it was Mike since I saw some articles with him in it. Seems like a locals spot and I am sure they have tons of repeat customers. I will be one of them! read more

Wuuuweeeee damn that thing good. This deli will make you fat because you will be back. Big back. Food is delicious.

Good old fashioned know how deli sandwiches. Fresh always and friendly staff ! Go see Mike for a out of this world sandwich...Cheers

This is a serious deli- the sandwiches are made to order (some are premade- helpful when you grab and go) and the staff will guide you on what to order. Great location off Arthur Avenue- easy to eat within the facility or to go. Possibly the most delicious salami, capicolla with fresh mozzarella. It was love at first bite. FYI. Went back this weekend and sadly they are closed on Sunday! Had to order from BronxFoodCo.com read more

So for my last day in the bronx my only request was to take a drive to authur ave to have my two favorite things, Clams and a Mike's sandwich, luckily is on the same block. It's a pretty big market so as you keep walking towards the deli you see these guys hand making cigars (pretty cool) reminds me of when I went to Cuba, then towards the right side walking down they have fresh meat and sausages ready to order, then finally you see the long line for sandwiches, cold cuts, fresh mozzarella ect.... it's very busy and you may have to repeat your order a few times but you'll end up with a delicious sandwich. I ordered the "godfather" with sundry tomatoes (which makes everything taste better) Turkey salami and the regular lettuce tomato... blah blah splash of vinaigrette. For two sandwiches it came out to $32 (yeah pricey for a sandwich) but to me it was worth it, for my husband, ... not so much! I'm gonna miss this place! Overall I'll try to come back hopefully a few times a year! read more

Delicious sandwiches at the infamous Mike's Deli. My friend finally took me to his favorite deli and it did not disappoint. We ordered the famous eggplant parm sandwich ($12) and we created our sandwich with chicken cutlet, mozzarella, prosciutto, roasted peppers, onions, pesto and balsamic ($15). Both sandwiches came with a small pesto pasta salad which was a nice addition to the meal. The sandwiches are rich, extremely filling and satisfying. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. read more
