They're everywhere and smell amazing when you walk in - DiSalvo's Deli is no different and is like walking into a family-owned NYC throwback establishment. If you like NY-style subs, fresh made pizza, pastas, sauces, breads, mozzarella, and a huge selection of Italian imports, DiSalvo's Deli needs to be your next stop. Ronnie & Mindy have been in business for 40 years - You will not be disappointed with the food, quality products, and friendly family service/atmosphere.

100th REVIEW And what better way to celebrate this Yelp…read moremilestone than at an Italian restaurant? As someone with family from New York and New Jersey, I take Italian food very seriously. I am always suspicious of the authenticity Italian restaurants in the Midwest, especially when some places by me claim that Ragu is their "house recipe." However, I was pleasantly surprised by Tony's in Dayton! As soon as I saw the statue of a chef and plastic grapes in the entryway, I knew Tony's was the real deal. I came with a group of 10, and the waiters were able to accommodate us into one large table in the back of the dining room. The dining room itself is decorated like a charming alleyway in the streets of Rome, with some decorations looking straight out of Nonna's kitchen. We were served drinks right when we sat down, and I noticed on the menu that there was an impressive selection of IPAs and wine. Our waiter was kind enough to bring someone in our party a "sample" of beer when he was deciding between two drinks. Of course, no Italian dinner is complete without garlic bread, and Tony's garlic cheesy bread was a hit with the whole table! I couldn't get enough of it. For dinner, I enjoyed the ravioli, which was served on a plate that was bigger than my head! The sauce was flavorful with a hint of crushed red pepper, and the ravioli themselves were thick and fluffy. I loved every bite! Unfortunately, not everyone liked their dinners as much as I did. My sister said her Alfredo sauce "tasted like nothing," and I saw from across the table that my mother's baked ziti was burnt. One thing I did appreciate about Tony's was the prices. For just $13.50, I got a full plate of ravioli, plus a side salad and garlic bread! I was very impressed with that deal.

Parking was easy along the road downtown but my app made it a bit hard to find. It shares space with le Torte Dolci bakery. I ordered the margarita sandwich (I think that's the name) on focaccia. It was delicious and didn't make a mess like others I've had elsewhere. Everything was fresh. There were several other sandwiches I would've liked to try, I may need a return trip! The pastries on display were tempting and of course I ended up with a donut for my son as well. I wish I had more time as the area is trendy with several cute shops. Again, return trip!
