We saw all the desserts right when we walked in and let me tell you, sooooo good. We settled for deli sandwiches and some salads. All very good. I plan to try everything on the menu so this will one of many reviews. The value was quite reasonable and we had leftovers, so two meals from one sandwich! So much meat on it that you fill up fast. The best part about being in the deli is the atmosphere. There is a full grocery store of Italian foods, people eating at the dining area and ordering going on at the deli counter. It is a fun place to be. Highly recommend!

Romanelli's is a marvelous Italian grocery store. TEN STARS! The kind of place that hits you with…read morenostalgia before you even grab a basket. I stepped into this joint and transported back in time - Sunday after church, five years old again with my grandparents, standing at the counter of Giannella's in Paterson, NJ. With the exception of the cashier dude, the staff was...uh..."mezza morto," and definitely in need of some Italian or Italian-American inspiration. A little life. A little rhythm. A smile perhaps. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, add wet mozzarella, hot soppressata, roasted red peppers, oil, and balsamic.. The cutlets were too thick and the mozzarella, although fresh, was strangely tasteless. Apparently this sandwich was infused with gold, crypto, or something because it rang in at $24 with the add-ons. My person had the eggplant parm, which unfortunately was over-seasoned with only a slight trace of mozzarella. The marinara on the side was undefinable. We hit the bakery on the way out. The sfogliatella and cannoli were great, and so were the ladies behind the counter, warm, lively, and actually happy to be there. Look, I'm goin' back to Romanelli's. I'll even pay another $24 for a sandwich. There's a reason this place has been there for decades, and they deserve another shot.

Love the authentic vibe and the people.

Ingredients were tasty, meat plentiful and it was overloaded with toppings. The bag of chips wasn't those tiny bags you buy in bulk at Costco/Sam's Club either! It came out fast and while waiting we enjoyed the kitschy decor everywhere (on the walls, ceiling and tables) . . . photos, bumper stickers, hilarious novelty signs, memorabilia and more. Can't wait to go back! Just wish they were located closer to where I live.

Got the regular Italian. Used to be 8". Now it's mayyyyyybe 6" and the roll is really small. For around $15 with tax, this was a ripoff in my opinion. I didn't eat that much at any meal, but I'm still kinda hungry after this sandwich. And no, I didn't use camera angle trickery and I don't have massive hands. It's just a small, small sandwich. Last one I get from Potbelly, too.

The steak is Pork Butt ( a shoulder cut) . I loved it. It was sooo moist, tender, and flavorful. Another sandwich for my repertoire . My friend had a Meatball sandwich.
