History
Established in 1982.
On May 17, 1982 my wife Catherine DeGennaro and I, Vincent, bought the Depot Deli from its then owner, Irving and Shirley Levine. While fulfilling my lifelong dream that started from being a bus boy at Doral Country Club in 1968, there were two very special people who paved the road along this journey. First and foremost, my father, who gave me the wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement necessary to take this large leap of faith in owning my own business. Next is Richard Cohen, hence the name "Richard's Deli", who helped me smooth out all the small, yet significant details behind the scenes, such as designing a menu. Without both of these men, I would not be where I am today.
Meet the Business Owner: Nick P. and Tim C.
Nick Petitti and Tim Canavan purchased Richard’s Deli in 2020. Being longtime neighbors and friends of Vinnie DeGennaro it seemed only natural that they would take over the deli when the time came. With their love of family and great food the pair decided to revamp the deli menu and make Richards a place for families to grab a relaxing bite to eat.
They have big plans for this amazing deli spot and are excited to bring their vision to the community. The revamped menu highlights some of the staples that Richard’s is well known for but also introduces guests to new signatures sandwiches, wraps, panini, salads and homemade soups. Their new breakfast menu is serving all the classics from omelets & eggs benedict to pancakes & French toast. Nick & Tim pride themselves on their fresh to order kitchen and only serve the finest quality meats. They live by the motto, “If we wouldn’t serve it to our family, we won’t serve it to yours!”
