I got the eggplant special, adding hots as one does, on a roll. My boyfriend got the chicken St. Joseph as a sub. Both were delicious. The eggplant was thin and crisp and the sandwich was flavorful. I almost couldn't finish it. Virgilio's is tiny, but also has a great selection of Italian cooking essentials. Olives, pasta, tomatoes, wine, etc. Which is nice so you don't need to always run to a bigger store. The cannoli looked great and so did the pizza--I'm hoping to try on a return visit. Staff was friendly. There are two tiny tables outside, so this is really a takeout shop. I highly recommend visiting.

Especially great are their premade foods by the deli counter. Their different types of chicken salad is a favorite of my husbands. Their cookies are decent, especially the butter crunch. Their house made chicken pot pie is very popular with so many people, I have brought it to friends when they are home sick and I don't want to cook. No one is disappointed with that. They make all their food in-house. So good. Their desserts are quite good. Recently had a small event and didn't feel like cooking. I supplemented with a gallon of their hearty vegetable soup, and their little desserts. The veggie soup was just too healthy to be popular with this crowd, so that was a bad choice on my part. The desserts were a bit hit. They have flowers, cute paper goods, great house made hamburgers, we go there often. Never disappointing, but much more expensive than Shaws or Market Basket. Having said that, we feel it is worth it.

I went to the bakery to buy some pastries and there were flies covering the food. I explained to the young man that there was a problem there and he shrugged his shoulders and continued to sell the pastries to customers. The men who work in the deli are just outright rude. I asked a man to make me sandwich and he rolled his eyes slamming the food like I asked him to donate a kidney. I spoke with the manager and he said "Yeah, we have a high turnover. Sorry" The store is old and gross.

I think I prefer a bit more of a salty, juicy flavor to the meat, but it was still rare, just how I like it. The onion buns were a nice touch. Speaking of onion, don't forget the onion rings - those things were perfect. I'd recommend!

They'd gotten some coverage on a local news show which probably helped fill today's doors, but I've become a regular and they are always busy--but not too busy to have to wait long. The owners are named Rob and Cassandra, both of whom are trained chefs, which means their food is done so well! They bake their freaking bread fresh every single day, and it's wicked good. The chopped sandwich today was so amazing and was way better than some of the ones I've had which seem to dominate reels today. They had some kind of spicy crunchy garlic mayo which was fantastic and didn't overpower the meats. They don't pre-make these or any sandwiches, each made to order, which is so awesomely old-school. Their quality of deli meat and cheese is really exemplary, not grocery store Boar's Head. They have a great, but modestly sized, selection of imported Italian goods including fantastic olive oil, pastas, conservas like anchovies and even caponata! I also urge you to get a made-to-order cannoli, which was absolutely among the best I've ever had. The generous, sweet ricotta filling was thick, but not dense or cloying; we got pistachio and shared one, which was as strategic as slicing a brownie six ways, in the office, to reduce calories. Anyhow, I'm not on the payroll, nor even related, or I'd be there again right now.

In addition, there are quiches, calzones, these amazing looking loaf cakes, pies, cannoli, deli salads, and much more! Just being open on a Sunday was a huge plus. We need to pick up some sandwiches for an early lunch. We ordered large (only $1 more than small) and they are ginormous! Definitely shareable or enough for a second meal! We ordered a side red potato salad. And of course a pound of cookies / biscotti! Everything tasted great! I hope we have time for a second visit during our trip! It was very busy around 930am on a Sunday morning. Very organized and well staffed for the business. Most were picking up pre-orders (cake, etc.). Ordering sandwiches wasn't an issue that early and pans of pizza were out! Love the East Coast and surely miss it! Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! Most of the customers seemed like local regulars! That says a lot too! Parking is very easy. Large lot shated with another business. Front and then a larger lot on the side. Nice as most parking in this area (including Marblehead and Salem) is street parking only, very few lots! There are plenty of tables for dining inside.
