I am the 5th generation of my family living in San Jose, and this was my first visit. Upon talking to the gentleman at the register, I found out that they are the oldest family deli to open in San Jose. Founded over 100 years ago! So cool. I was hoping for a prosciutto sandwich for my boyfriend, because that is his favorite in the world, but unfortunately they were sold out. I got him a roast beef sandwich and I ordered turkey avocado. The man that who was helping me ended up...
This deli is truly old school, filled with character and rich in history. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time, and you can sense the stories behind every corner. It’s the kind of place that, once it’s gone, can never be replaced, there simply won’t be anything else like it. That’s why it’s worth a visit while it’s still here. On top of all that, their sandwiches are genuinely delicious and remain my personal favorite.
I got to speak to Lou Sr and Jr yesterday and got to learn a great deal of history from Lou, Sr. Apparently, this deli was recognized by Michelin only a few years back and is one of the first Sicilian owned food services in the Bay as they opened up by Lou's grandfather in 1908. Once you come in, you will feel all the history behind it with original pictures from over the decades. All the sausage is made by hand and with none of the garbage you find in our foods today.
