FIRST OFF! When asking how do you make your Meatball…read moreSandwich there is 1 correct answer! These guys NAILED IT! I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich.

Well ended up taking the rest home & being it was my first time there, our waiter gave us a cannoli to take hime with our food & what an awesome gesture that was! We'll definitely come back & try other items on the menu.

Several years ago I tried Romanelli's food at the Farmers market at Sun City. I thought their…read moremeatballs were very good. My brother saw their Facebook page and thought we should have lunch at their deli in Phoenix. We brought our friend along and made it a threesome. My brother and I had the Robert's Special (Roast Beef, Pastrami, Provolone Cheese, Tomato, Mayo & Onion, Served Hot). My friend had the George's Special (Ham, Capicolla, Salami, Mortadella, Pepperoni, Provolone, and Hot Peppers or Sweet Peppers). The consensus was unanimous. The bread is great. The meat was too! To finish off our meal we all had a Cannoli. Magnifico. The crunchy shell was dusted with powdered sugar and the filling was sweet and creamy. There is an array of Sandwiches, entrees, soups , and specials. Same for the bakery. A sweet list of cakes, cookies etc. Parking can be a problem. Not enough spaces to park. I suggest you have your lunch earlier than noon. Tables will be full at that time. Looking forward to trying something different on my next visit.

Then you see the deli counter and all the sweets and it gets hard to decide! We went with the beef and pastrami special and it was enough to split with the wife. Service was quick and we had enough time to get some sauce and cannolis to go. I can see why this place has been around since the '70s. Everything was great and I would definitely go again. "FIMP" Food is my passion

If you ever been in New York, you know that customer service isn't always there, so it's nice to have it here.

The location is convenient, especially being close to the airport. The surrounding area isn't the best, and from time to time there are people outside asking for money, but that's obviously no fault of the business. The food, service, and consistency are always great. One of the more underrated sandwich spots around.

The owners were super friendly and chatting it up with me while making our sandwiches. We got turkey sandwiches, potato and Mac salad and some chips and drinks. Overall, these were just really good solid sandwiches that probably tasted extra delicious because we were hot and hungry. We would definitely stop in and support this little shop again! They have a little of everything you need and your next meal.

I don't eat sandwiches often but when I do, I want to make sure it's worth it! The owners were so friendly and the food was quick.

One of my favorites to get is their spaghetti and meatballs meals. It comes with salad, garlic bread and the spaghetti and meatballs! Let me tell you the spaghetti and meatballs are so delicious! I would say this meal is enough for 2 people to share! The prices are unbeatable! Their deli sandwiches are super fresh, cut right there in front of you, made fresh and always delicious! Some others that are definitely worth mentioning is their pizza buying per slice (great portion size btw), and their pastas! A must when visiting is getting their pistachio Dubai chocolate cannoli! Their cannolis are made fresh and they really are amazing! The espresso tastes amazing! One thing that really stands out to me is that this deli/ grocery has been in business for a long time and the owners/employees are so welcoming and make you feel at home! They welcome you with genuine happiness. They have outdoor seating and they offer to go. They do have 2 spots for accessible parking and a few ramps. The aisles are pretty tight but if you ask the employers they are more than willing to help out! The entrance of the store is accessible and it's easy to move around.

Saw the news that this gem was closing after 35+ years and had to come try it out…read more Unfortunately I didn't realize they were closing at 3pm & we got there at 245, so we were rushed to order and he was a little short & curt and we could sense the irritation with us being there so close to closing and other customers continuing to come in. The menu is massive with all day breakfast and lunch, and if I lived closer, I would absolutely have made this a local spot to frequent for a taste of home. Plus they have several vegetarian items on the menu and even a vegan breakfast dish! We weren't allowed to dine in, so we took our order to go & ate in the car. I got the veggie reuben & my man got the number 3 (turkey sub). I also ordered 2 knishes (1 spinach & 1 plain) and a black & white cookie. The reuben was scrumptious with the buttery crisp toasted rye bread and packed with veggies. The pickles on the side were not as crisp as I would have liked but still good. The turkey sandwich was not piled high as expected but it was still a good amount of turkey with some cheese & toppings. It was so filling he could only eat half & saved the rest for later. The bread was plain white sub roll and was soft and chewy. No complaints on the sub and he enjoyed it. The knish didn't look like the ones I grew up eating, but these were homemade and way better than the square patty style from the hot dog carts in the city. They were packed with filling and had a thin crust layer around (definitely needed to eat with fork). The spinach was spread throughout & the combo with potato was even. Love that the black & white cookie was homemade! These are my favorite cookies & I always have to get one when I go back home to visit. These were different from the bakery ones I usually get (this icing was soft rather than hard shell type), but it was still delicious! If you have time to stop by before they close end of the month, I recommend you stop by, just check the shop hours and come way before closing time!

We ordered the latke, Rudy's reuben sandwich and a dish of scrambled eggs. Service is to order; never anything that has been sitting around. You may sit inside the cozy cafe or out on the patio. Staff are great, friendly and bus your dishes quickly. They even have biscuits and water for your dog on the outside area. The food arrived quickly. It is ample food. The latke was a bit burnt on the edge as you can see in the pix. It was still good with the innards being soft. It is a hefty latke especially good with applesauce. The Reuben was juicy and a meat fest of a sandwich. The eggs were light and fluffy. I was going to order a chocolate beignet and decided to try it next time. It sure looked good! Lunch was enjoyable. I would return. Shared parking lot.

We were greeted by the kindest gentleman at the door, who helped us to our seats and made us feel welcome right away. Then we met Lisa--a Jersey girl with Arizona in her heart! What a sweetheart. We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big! We shared the calamari, a side salad and lasagna, then finished with Italian cookies, tiramisu and a latte. Definitely consider sharing, and save room for dessert! We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa! Lisa, thank you for all the laughs and for making our night so special. The Sicilian Butcher is lucky to have you. We've fallen in love with Arizona, and this evening was one of the reasons why. Until we meet again!
