3 things about this place:…read more 1. Heard great things about this place and my sister recommends this place so why not give this place a try. The staff was nice and the place was clean; also, the place was bigger than what I expected. 2. #8, Philly cheesesteak was ordered and I just loved the fact that they have an open grill in order for customers to see that they make the sandwiches fresh once they receive the order. 3. My mother used to own a deli shop that had Philly cheesesteak and this place reminded me and tasted exactly like hers which gave me chills. One thing that could have been better was having more cheese. I felt the cheese was not there. The cheese melted all the way so I could barely taste the cheese while eating. Obviously it's not like Geno's and Pat's in Philly and hard to find a good Philly cheesesteak in the south, but this place has a great sandwich. Overall, I enjoyed it and thought of memories, where I will be coming here more often. Prolly found my go to spot for Philly cheesesteak in SWFL.

It comes on fresh bread,…read morecrispy chicken cutlets, prosciutto piled high, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cut into THICK slices, fresh basil, and balsamic glaze. The sandwiches are massive, delicious, and made with the highest quality ingredients. We also had the Classic Italian LOADED with mortadella, capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, and all the toppings! This is another MUST Order. The meatball parm was also phenomenal. Some of the best meatballs I've ever had and they're so juicy. The Steak bomb was also a win! Bianca opened Stella Marie's and uses recipes from her Sicilian great-grandmother and grandmother (Stella and Marie!) You can taste the love and care in every bite from the meatballs to the special lemon cookies. Not only can you get delicious sandwiches here, but there's incredible baked goods like lobster tails, you can get salads, and Italian groceries like cheeses, pastas, snacks, and meats. Being from NJ, I've really struggled finding good chicken cutlets, marinara, meatballs, and Italian food in the area. This place feels tastes like home, if not better. In fact, their meatballs are number 1 for me in best meatballs I've ever had. This sandwich, the Stella Marie, is the sandwich of my dreams. I can't wait to share what else I had from Please support this very special family-owned business for the best sandwiches, Italian groceries, and baked goods!

Brotherly love was decent size but very basic- meat and cheese. $20 and just average/Underwhelming. Cheeseburger Lo mein was prob the best out of the 3 meals. All the meals are lacking that wow flavor. Overpriced for average food. Drinks are all at least $15. Good flavors, but bc of the prices we didn't get as many as wanted. Place is decorated for Halloween which was cute and different. Servers were excellent. Not somewhere I'd run back to for food at all unfortunately. Almost $200 for 3 ppl for just average meals and a couple drinks and I ended up not feeling good at all. Still not feeling the best today with stomach cramps.

I recently discovered The Rustic Sandwich Deli and couldn't be happier that it's close to my office. Finally, there's a fantastic spot for a quick and satisfying lunch. I've tried the roast beef sandwich, my favorite, as well as the chicken sandwich and the Swiss tuna sandwich (on different days, of course ). Each one was absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring that every visit is enjoyable and that everything is just right. It's clear they take great pride in their food and service. For anyone looking for a tasty meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend The Rustic Sandwich Deli. read more

The inside was clean and woman at the counter was friendly. They accommodated our modifications. The food was delicious. Would recommend everything we have tried so far.

Lots of parking in the lot, not much going on around however definitely worth checking out if you're craving something good breakfast or a sandwich. The establishment isn't too big however they do offer some benches and a few areas where you can enjoy your food, most people seem to place an order for take out. They are cashless, and have a cute gender neutral restroom. I went with their Jersey special breakfast sandwich and added egg to it, wow so delicious, being from NJ myself I'm always looking for a great Taylor ham sandwich without having to visit back up north.. my fiancé got their Cheech & Chong and loved it! My son and his gf had the Wally's cheesesteak and Sedona sunrise and both VERY GOOD. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Very excited to have found this place and we will definitely come back soon for breakfast and or lunch!

The breakfast was very underwhelming and nothing to write home about. It also came out cold, which is where the BAF comes into play. I did have our waitress nuke my dish and deliver me fresh bacon, as the first strips were soggy, but even doing so could the items not come out fast enough to have the ceiling turbine beat. Even my dad's double toasted bagel came out cold. And they were not busy Speaking of our waitress... At least she was attentive and never missed a beat to top off my coffee. Overall...it's a one n done for me. I got God on my side because I know that His SON Jesus Christ died for my sins.

Let's talk smoothies first. The Inland Bliss, Sunrise Bay and Paradise Seeker were on repeat for me the entire week. No sugar added, just pure blended fruit and ice. For breakfast one morning I had the Jersey Special on a baguette and I haven't had a breakfast sandwich like that since being back home in New York. Fried egg, Taylor ham, bacon, hash brown and cheese. I'm still dreaming about it. For lunch I had the turkey and provolone on a croissant and was completely blown away. Simple, flavorful and absolutely delicious. My fiancé had the tuna melt one day and loved every bite. I also tried the French onion soup and it was soooooo yum. What made every single visit even better was Anna and Uglus (I hope I spelled that right). They welcomed me back every time like I was a regular and that kind of warmth is everything when you're away from home. The place is cute and quaint. Definitely somewhere you can bring your laptop to and get some work done. I wish I had something like this back in my hometown.
