| - My boyfriend and I are obsessed with Defalco's. It's less than a mile from my house so we frequently eat here. Everything we have ordered thus far has been amazing, flavorful and fresh.
I believe that the owners' family originally came from Italy, which explains the atmosphere of the deli. It reminds me of a typical european deli, mixing fresh foods you can order to your liking, along with a small selection of groceries and specialty items.
I like to buy certain groceries here but they are a little more expensive, given that the majority are imported. They've got some great products - fancy cheese, a giant selection of olive oil, unique pastas (gnocchi, fusilli), and lots of wine.
To date, my boyfriend and I have tried:
cheesesteak (must try it!!! get it on the Italian roll with grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers),
chicken parmigiana sandwich,
italian sausage sandwich with peppers (homemade sausage, i would recommend adding cheese),
cheese ravioli,
artichoke and vegetable lasagna (amazing!),
caprese salad (homemade mozzarella cheese!!), and
spinach, avocado and goat cheese salad.
We are looking forward to eating everything on the menu, but it is always difficult to try something new when everything we've tasted has been amazing.
Don't forget about ordering desserts! Tiramisu, cannolis, chocolate eclairs, lemoncello cake... I have a sweet tooth and I am happy to report that they do not disappoint.
