Romanelli's is the most amazing italian deli that one can ever come across in Phoenix.
It is located down the street from the high school that I went to and we used to stop most days for some cheese pizza or "Italian Stallion" sandwich. Now that I have grown this is a prime place to shop for my own culinary needs such as pastas, cold cuts, pizza toppings, sauces and even hommade pizza dough just waiting to be thawed and used to make your own delicious pizzas.
I still stop in for the occassional sandwish and the "Italian Stallion" is still my top choice. Ham, capicolla, grnoa salami, pepperoni and provalone cheese piles high with onions thinnly shredded lettuce tomatoes and of course bread soggy with dressing as it should be. And don't forget to follow it up with your favorite italian sweet. I haven't had a bad dessert yet.
The service is prompt and charmingly brusque. A real New York feeling here.
If its authenticity you are after this is your place..anywhere else? Fuggedaboudit!!
