| - This is a full service deli and restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The deli sells Italian, Jewish, some kosher food, what looks like fresh made breads, baked desserts and bagels. They do take out items or you can dine in. This deli is very unusual and features Italian foods like meatballs, pastas, Italian lunch meats, the "Vinci Family cannoli's and Jewish Style foods like matzo ball soup, blintzes and knishes. The restaurant small cute and stylish. They also have a few tables outside.
I tried a pastrami sandwich called the Rachel that was on rye and was topped with fresh made cole slaw and Russian dressing. My sandwich came with one side, a pickle and a beverage and was only $8.50. (that is SUPER CHEAP for this kind of sandwich) I can tell you the pastrami was better than Chompie's Pastrami. It really was decent pastrami. The bread seemed fresh made and was sort of Arizona style bread and was very soft, mild tasting and fresh. I liked that it was sliced thin like it should be. The potato salad was also very fresh but was also very bland so I added salt, pepper and a little tabasco and it became very tasty.
I took home a potato knish and had it latter. The knish was made with the correct knish dough and was filled with fresh real potatoes that were slightly seasoned. I'm not sure if they put any onions in it and it could have used a small amount of pepper for my taste but was good.
Service was speedy and friendly.
If I could I would give a 3.5 stars based on what I had. The only reason I didn't give four stars is because I'm not a big fan of Arizona Style Rye bread and the lack of seasoning in the the potato dishes I tried.
The prices are very low and portions are large.
Worth a try when your in the area!
