    Mortadella Sandwich
    Joshua M.

    Modest, small operations deli joint. All of the ingredients were fresh and quality. The person who rang me up knew just the right cheese and condiments to go with my mortadella. The bread was all I could ask for: crunchy and toothsome yet light and airy.

    2.5 stars Ordered via Doordash. This review is for the Poor Boy Deluxe. Very subpar for an italian sandwich from a sandwich place. You get maybe 1 or 2 slices of each meat listed in the description with 1 slice of swiss cheese and 2 slices of cheddar wedged between two different slices of meat. The sliced "sour" bread tastes closer to buttermilk than sourdough. The overall effect reminds me of a mom's packed sandwich for school with ham and cheese.

    I hate to give a local place a subpar review, but if there is any tuna on the sandwich I just got I certainly can't find it. The liverwurst sandwich I got for my mom also made her unhappy. And my friend's poor boy was, indeed, that. We weren't going to go back, but since we got a nice response from the deli, we will give it another try very soon and then update the review. Maybe the person making the sandwiches was having an off day.

    Zarri's Deli is a welcoming traditional grocer and eatery. Their sandwiches are delicious and large enough to comprise a mid-day meal. I have ordered several varieties and have not been disappointed. Individual portions of pasta salads are available to augment the sandwiches, as are tinned sardines and oysters. The range of well cooked traditional Italian-style meats is complete, and in concert with pasta, pastries, sauces, and cheeses, can support any Italian meal project. Amazing fruit juices are 'not from concentrate'. The wine selection supports any meat, fish, or fowl, or social fruit-and-cheese get togethers. Outdoor seating accommodates one to 20 or so diners, and I have enjoyed conversations with more than one chance-met Zarri's customer. There is no drip coffee, but capuccino and latte's are available, and one can make do with an Americano. A coffee and a hot piroshki are excellent morning, noon, or afternoon fare. I appreciate the history and continuity of Zarri's, as well as their excellent customer service. They really care about what they sell and serve.

    I love Deli's and this one is great. The owner and staff are very friendly. And the sandwiches are large so its a great meal for me. I love the Cuban sandwich and the Italian pastries as well. Their is a nice outdoor patio to sit and visit with friends also. Thankfully the owner is not a stickler about wearing a mask inside the shop, he honors medical exemptions and leaves it as optional, so I can breathe.

    This old-time Deli is a delightful discovery on Solano Avenue, in Albany just over the Berkeley line. It is not loaded with vegetarian specialties, but meat protein abounds, on good breads with tomatoes, lettucs, onions, pickles, and I almost always opt for a slice of cheese to set of the lamb or roast beef. Tinned sardines are handly for mid-day pick-me-ups, and John stocks avocado oil, fine olive oils, pomegranate juice, and all kinds of salami, olives, pasta. Wine afficianados have an interesting assortment to pick through. The espresso coffees are good and strong, and the people inside are welcoming. I recommend Zarri's for early-day or lunch time comestibles.
