You can stop in Whole Foods for the staples and perishables for your dinner party or holiday celebration, then go to Ambrosian Pantry for the items that will put your entertaining over the top. So glad we have this exceptional shop in our neighborhood. Thanks for all your help, Parker!

I went with 2 sandwiches, The Brooklyn (Pastrami and Swiss cheese with pickles and a red sauce (thousand island ish), on a pretzel bun) and a Parisian (Ham, pickles and butter) on a baguette. The sandwiches were pretty tasty. A bit skimp on the meat though. The bread was great! Best part of the sandwich, for sure. They weren't super expensive either, $14.00 and $11.00. Not bad. I would come back and try other sandwiches if I lived nearby.

MAINLY REVIEWING SANDWICH EXPERIENCE:…read more I'm not sure what's happening to me at these fancy places close to where I live, but this sandwich at Goudy's Deli SUCKED. Yes, I get it, you have fancy bread and meats, but when you serve customers a sandwich with A VERY-HARD-TO-BITE BREAD it makes you never want to order there again. Maybe the Lord did me a favor by making me realize how pointless it is to eat out nowadays. Ordered the Club sandwich and realized I make a WAY BETTER one at home. Hey, at least I don't serve myself a sandwich with hard ass bread. Maybe I should be thankful? Note to self: don't waste money on food that hurts your teeth and roof of your mouth. Ambience? Definitely for rich, lazy people who don't know good food. Too quiet inside. Definitely NOT for cool people who have personality and are loud. Like Italians.

My son-in-law was happy about that. Now for the reason I won't be back. You order from the counter, which is fine. The thing that put me off was that they charge extra to use your credit card. Yes I know credit cards charge them and they want their customers to pay for that. (Shame on credit card companies!). But our order came to close to $100.00 and who carries that much cash? So that brought up the total. Then of course tip on top of that. No service to speak of except somebody physically carrying the food to the table. No checking back. Three of us ordered eggplant parm with spaghetti. It came with generous portions in two separate dishes. The pasta had a grainy texture that I didn't enjoy. The sauce needed to be brighter. The eggplant was almost too salty to eat. I just didn't enjoy my meal. A dry slice of bread (no butter) came on the plate too. I sopped up some sauce with it but it wasn't quality bread. I guess I was put off by the extra charge for the credit card and from there it was downhill for me. The gluten free dish was the best one, I guess. It was carbonara with penne pasta.

Loved the bun too. They only sell them on Saturdays, I believe! For the raw meat, we got chicken breasts and ground beef. The chicken is noticeably juicier and tastier than what you can get at a grocery store. The ground beef felt about the same. The service was super friendly, but the space is small, so if you're waiting for prepared foods and there are others around, it gets a bit cramped. They offer lots of other meat cuts, as well as other groceries.
