The Chicago-renowned Manny's Deli, its reputation precedes itself and is no doubt why you're…read morereading this. Let me tell you: it's worth a visit. Is it as good/memorable as Perry's Deli (IYKYK)... no. But it's a good substitute. But I digress. While slightly remote, the journey is worth it. Not from an aesthetic point of view, because there really isn't anything impressive about the inside, aside from the amount of seating on-hand. But the food is where they make their name. Naturally, I went with the pastrami. There was no question. And I give a lot of credit to the staff as they were patient with me as a n00b. They guided me well and I got exactly what I wanted: pastrami, piled high, with potato salad. Digging into the sandwich was an absolute delight and really hit my tastebuds right. The flavor was spot-on and the portion size was just right. Is this a spot I'm going to seek out on the regular? No. But I'm glad I tried it and you will be as well!

Was super excited to try this place, and finally came to pick up some bagels. The inside is very…read morecute, old-school vibes, with a few small tables inside. It's located in a busy part of River North with minimal parking options but I do believe they have 1 or 2 parking spots in the parking lot they share with the motel. It gets pretty busy on the weekend so I'd recommend going early or be prepared for a line. Ordered online the night before to take to a friend's for brunch. When I arrived to pick up my order, disappointingly, I was told that part of my order wasn't available because they hadn't been set aside in the morning. They offered to replace it with a different flavor and add a free schmear, but I'll admit I was super annoyed. I ended up getting some everything bagels to make some lox sandwiches with. Unfortunately the bagels were very mediocre (a step or 2 above a store bought bagel). I like my bagels chewy and moist, but these were dry and too fluffy for my taste. And weirdly enough, they were salty yet didn't have a very strong everything bagel flavor. To be fair, Chicago is severely lacking in good bagels, so not sure if I should fault Schneider's for that, or wherever they source their bagels from. Either way, I hope they get their online ordering system straightened out.

On a busy Saturday, I decided to order ahead for myself and my hangry kids. We ordered Italian,…read moretuna and prosciutto subs. We also threw in an order of tiramisu and the large canoli. We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

I decided to cross over & check out this old world Italian Deli. Conti Di Savoia is small Italian grocery store w/an Italian deli that has w/outstanding & inexpensive sandwiches. When I went in there was a line of people waiting @ the deli counter waiting to place their order. I must have looked confused because the owner directed me & told the line started on the other side towards the back of the store. What I found was an awesome of fresh handmade sandwiches for a very reasonable price. I ordered an 8" pastrami w/mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, & Italian oil drizzled. What I got was an awesome inexpensive sandwich loaded with/fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. After I got my sandwich the owner (I introduced myself (I think his name was Mike) rang up the sandwich. He said they have been there for 35 years. There's also a small dining area in the front of the store where I sat & devoured my sandwich. Like I said this is small Italian store w/a nice selection of products like meats, cheeses, pastas, wine, olive & deli items. I throughly enjoyed finding Conte Di Savoia. The pastrami sandwich was awesome w/a generous portion of pastrami & toppings for a reasonable price. I'm the type of person who who loves finding new places to eat. Most times unless I find great food & reasonable prices I won't go back but I feel like I found a real gem W/Conti Di Savoia. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

We love Tony's! You quickly get transported into old time Chicago. We only heard about it when we…read moremoved to the neighborhood a few years ago via our neighbors. It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.

North Buena has a chalkboard menu of sandwich choices that are offered in two sizes. And it's no problem if you want to customize your order. Our favorites are the London broil or turkey.

North Buena's shop is filled with a carefully curated selection of gourmet food items, liquor, beer and wine. The gummy bears are delicious and addictive. I've never had any, but they have free coffee for customers. Despite some negative comments from other reviewers, I find the servers to be friendly and efficient. I seldom eat at the deli (I live too close), but they have a nice outdoor seating area on the sidewalk. Indoor tables and seats are located along the windows and seem like more of an afterthought. North Buena Deli & Wine is a great business and we're lucky to have it in the Buena Park neighborhood.

Pro tip - request french bread for buffalo chicken, the multi grain doesn't hit the same imo. There's always a cute little snack to find and their chip variety is the best. Deep River is way better than vickys. They have a nice patio where you can eat, or its a quick walk to the lakefront! They are also now on door dash!

I ordered the hot Italian beef sandwich grabbed a bag of chips and a soda. As I unwrapped the beef, it smelled so delicious. At first I was like where is the giardiniera, it's on the bottom. Which didn't affect the sandwich. The meat was tender and you could taste the garlic of the beef. The beef was dipped and the bread held up pretty good. Loved the beef and even bought a jar of the extra hot giardiniera. Even on the way out the cashier suggested I come back and tried the breaded steak sandwich. She say they sell out fast. I will have to go back to try it.

It was lacking flavor overall and think they should have tossed the arugula in some lemon juice and olive oil to enhance the sandwich. When I asked for some garlic mayo on the side, they said they would bring it out, but never did.

I did like the bread it came on and how it was pressed like a panini. I also loved all the chip and drink options. The inside is cute and small with a few large picnic style tables. They also have a few outdoor seats for when it's nice out!

You'd swear these are the most seeded and topped bagels you've seen. Their poppey bagels are so…read moreseeded they look like a cocoa powder dusted donut, same with the sesame and everythings. I don't know what technique they do it get or keep so much topping on them, but it's a pleasure to have too much rather than not enough. They service beer here which makes it slightly unbreakfasty and their bagel sandwiches used baked eggs rather than griddled/flat topped or from a pan. Keeps them fluffy, but I prefer mine a little runnier. Service is very good, friendly, not rushed or fake hospitality. They cure their lox in house which to me feels more tender than other places, probably just a lower, longer heating or a gentler cure. Excellent schmear, a not heavy handed when scooping (respect the schream cuz). Prices are pretty good considering the care and love they put into the bagels (hand rolled, multiple proofs). They have crunch, chew, density, but air pockets. Chef/owners def put thought into the menu with flavors like zatar, dilly ranch deviled eggs. Dr. Browns sodas. Baclava cappuccinos. White fish on bagel chips, Bagel dog is such a simple combination of not just the everything bagel seasoning, but the dough as well. And the mustard pairs better than had they added schmear (sorry Seattle dogs, i'm not a fan, i only like my cream cheese in philadelphia sushi rolls, lol) . The pizza bagel needs more toppings like pepperoni, sausage becuase then it would eat like a normal size bagel bite. The challah bread on the rachel really is more well rounded than the reuben. It's something I've been recreating back home. Giard cream cheese, cmon ya'll are really hitting the nail on the head for a Chicago bagel shop. I guess that's why there are 3 locations now. The Haystack with apple butter works better than expected, but also works with a chive cream cheese sub, no ketchup needed (if you do go with the harissa ketchup from the yada yada). BEC with a side of salted tomato and harissa ketchup is amazing. If everything was 10% more like toppings wise this would be amazing, but they always seem to skimp on something whether it's the schmear, pickels, salad. I feel like i was haggling for my meal sometimes. Prices area little high for most items, but of great value for others. It's busy in the mornings, but lines move long and only once did I have to wait for a fresh batch of anything despite some large orders ahead of me. It's a 20 minute train ride, but worth it. Prime location near Wrigley.
