Their lasagna and cannoli are outstanding. It’s difficult to find good quality items like these two which are my favorite anywhere in Palm Springs.
Maria, who is the manager is so helpful and kind. Every time I go in, I feel like I’m at home. I just wish they were open a little later until 6 PM because sometimes I miss Getting there in time! They deserve a five star, if not more!

I visit the desert for business periodically, and I discovered this charming little shop. I ordered the spicy combo on focaccia bread, and it truly transported me back to Rome. I also purchased a loaf to take home, and upon arriving, I toasted it and dipped it in truffle olive oil. It was absolutely delightful. The service was excellent, friendly, and efficient. The sandwich shop itself is adorable, offering many products that evoke memories of Italy. I highly recommend stopping here if you are ever in the area.

The sandwich tasted great but too expensive for a sandwich.

The bread/meat/cheese sandwiches are good. They are on the pricey side for a sandwich.

This place rocks! The best sandwhich place in Palm Springs. The bread was fresh and crunchy and the meat and cheese fresh and delicious. Definitely a must when in town.

My friend ordered Italian sandos for dinner, and even though I ate lunch at 3pm, the sandwich from this deli tasted amazing at 7pm. I tried the Spicy Combo, which was very satisfying. The ratio of fluffy fresh bread and filling of Italian meats and veggies was on point. The Supreme Mortadella sounded intriguing with pistachio mortadella and pistachio paste, but it could have used a lot more pistachio and oomph. We also shared arancini (so delicious after popping them in the air frier), a cheese platter (so perfect), and salad for good measure. This deli is a great choice for take-out after a long travel day.

We got the lead on this spot from a nice employee at the BIKES palm springs. We were looking for a great sandwich spot and we are so glad he told us about The Real Italian Deli. They staff was super organized, fast and very attentive. I can be particular and she listened to each request and happily made my half turkey and provolone sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and light on the great pesto aoli on a fresh homemade facassia bread. My husband got the best chicken cutlet with parm and sauce on a homemade toasted torpedo roll. They were both perfect. Staff was quick and pleasant, fellow patrons were all locals and very friendly.

First time at this deli with good ratings. I ordered the turkey pesto with the torpedo bread- hard as a rock even the inside was a little dry. Inside ingredients good. I was not expecting a miserable sandwich- I had to ask for another bread so I can transfer the inside ingredients in order to have a decent sandwich.

Friends and I wanted a quick sandwich place after leaving the airport, and this happened to be close by. I had literally the best sandwich of my life here (the Parma). It’s been a week now and I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT SANDWICH. All my friends were equally impressed with theirs and we are still talking about them. Unfortunately I’m back in Portland and cannot get another. I’m considering making another trip to Palm Springs just for another sandwich.
