First time at this Deli. I really like it. Lots of great things to buy. I got the Uncle Philly sandwich and bought some Italian amaretti cookies which are awesome. Very cool atmosphere. Great service. They have seating out front or you can take the food to go. They serve wine, beer and other drinks. Something for everybody.Wheelchair accessibility: Big wide front door and there's a 3 minute unloading zone right out front so you can pop in real quick and somebody can go park their car and come back.

We visited this deli during MLK, Jr. weekend. Hankering for a sandwich, we happened to get in line behind a large group. I ordered a No. 1 "Uncle Philly." While the servers estimated a 20-minute wait time, given the large group ahead of me, the wait was closer to 30. The wait was worth it though, because the sandwich was delicious - the house spread kept the bread moist and the meats and cheeses used in the sandwich were especially tasty. I look forward to trying more of their menu in the future!

Great sandwiches! we stopped by as we were walking around Cannery Row. Friendly staff, fresh bread ( that I was told that was made especially for the deli) and delicious fresh turkey and condiments. I highly recommend Coniglio Brothers.

Excellent deli style sandwiches. I tried half the #1 & half the #4, both were full of flavor and I have no complaints whatsoever. Simply delicious. No inside seating, only a few tables outside. It would be good to get it to-go and maybe find a nice bench or park to eat at.

This Italian Deli was a great spot to go to after touring the Monterey aquarium. My significant other and I stopped here I had the uncle Philly she had the C star we vacationed out here early December 2023. Place was busy it looked like there was some type of business convention going on that week at the near by hotel we stayed at. But their service was great. Sub sandwiches were delicious and it was decently priced. We were both satisfied and actually quite full perhaps saving the half sub for later would have been a better option. But that just goes to show how delicious their subs were. I highly recommend if you're looking for a quick bite or if making a trip out to Big Sur perfect lunch to bring with you on a hike.

This was the perfect Aquarium lunch break! The sandwiches are large, which means they're a great deal at $12. My mom and I shared a turkey sandwich but my husband ate his own. The only downside was that there are no tables inside and only three outside. Other than that, this is a quality place with nice staff.

Opening up to eat the sandwich, It looked pathetic and sad for $12. First time... Last time. I'd should've just gone to Subway.

Very bad experience. Spent more than 30 minutes just for two turkey sandwiches. After asking questions about it they just said Oh we are going to prepare that without any apologies.In summary don’t waste your time here.

30 min wait for 2 sandwiches and 0 apologies. Don’t waste your time.
The sandwich? amazing. atmosphere? amazing. The aftermath of the sandwich? food poisoning. the deliciousness now only reminds of the deep regret and pain. it was good, but at what cost? My gut health?

Delicious high quality sandwiches. I’m pretty sure the guy working whispered his hopes and dreams into the sandwich, that’s how good it

This cute and friendly staff of Italian deli is located at the main strip of Cannery Row. We had the Pastrami on Rye Sandwich is delish! The bread is soft and crunchy, the meat is perfectly moistened with adequate amount of dressing. Would definitely come back to try other sandwiches. The deli also sells other grocery items such as cheeses, sauces, etc. The price is pricey, however it is decent to me considering it is a offered in tourist spot. They have mostly street parking with fee, however, if you're lucky and don't mind walking about two blocks away, you could find a 90 minutes parking on the street as well.

Can't believe the bad reviews on here. We visited back in July as part of a 2 week Cali road trip from the UK and this is still a highlight of the whole trip that we're talking about. "Best sandwich in America" was the verdict as we drove down 17 Mile Drive eating and taking in the views! We were hoping to grab and go, so were a bit disappointed at having to wait 20 minutes or so, but the fact that this was the case was clear and well advertised and sitting outside watching the world go by isn't the worst way to wait. Staff brought the order out when it was ready, pretty much bang on the time they said it would. Food was worth the wait and the wait means that you know heart and soul is going into it!

Sandwich's are spectacular. Service is always quick and friendly. Store is clean. Lots of fun sweets to select from.
