Carmine Lonardo's Italian

Great hospitality and large portions! And even a great sample of their beef sandwich which was fabulous. So glad we stopped there for dinner to take to the Red Rocks concert!

Wonderful food! Authentic Italian

My 2 friends (from New York) said it was just like the deli's they have back home. They ranted and raved about it for days. I finally went in to see what it was all about, I was unfortunately disappointed the atmosphere was great service impeccable. But unfortunately I ordered a chicken parmesan and it came with chicken, parmesan, and a little bit of marinara, over all the sandwich was just bland.

$17.99 for a 8” turkey, ham, and extra cheese sub is insane. Especially given the small amount of everything that was put on it. Everything in the store is at least $3 more than it should be. I hope something is done about the prices. I can’t afford to go there. Nevermind the 20 min wait in an empty store for a sub.

I had the Italian sausage sandwich, meatball sandwich, and the big square piece of Tiramisu. Overall it was good but not excellent. The meatball was very good but I wasn’t crazy about the Italian sausage sandwich. The tiramisu was very plain and I would not recommend it, even after the lady behind the counter urged me to get the square one over the pie slice option. I look forward to going back and trying the French dip and Italian beef as they both look great. It is a bit on the expensive side but I can live with the prices for what you get. The service and atmosphere were 5 stars.

Food was great! Bread had the right chew and incredible flavor. All ingredients were excellent. A bit pricy, I bought an 8" ruben, a 12" meatball and an 8" Italian beef with spicy peppers 2 canoles and it was about $60.00. My friend paid $25.00 for an 8" sandwich a drink and chips. Place is small very few small, tables about 15 people can sit comfortably so it is best for pick up. The meat market is legit! would pick something up if I am in the area. All employees seem to love working here and all very friendly. Place was busy on a Saturday lunch rush. Parking is tight but people coming and going made it ok. I can see why they have been open for 48 years.

Price too high. You can find cento tomato sauce in Walmart and many other supermarket for 3 dollars same size. Also the pasta is overprized, normal supermarket sell same brands. Be careful with meat they sell as well, pancetta looks dated. BTW, I am Italian.

Amazing Italian deli/market. We ordered sandwiches (carmine, the Dominic, and reuben) and the were delicious. It's not your typical reuben, it's on a hoagie and the corned beef was ok, but not what you would get at an Irish restaurant or Jewish deli, and yes I know it's an Italian deli! My fellow reuben snobs know what I'm talking about! The bread is delicious. They also have an amazing selection of desserts. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Lots of authentic Italian goods. Definitely will return.

This Italian deli could be so much more with just a few changes. I wish they kept their shelves stocked (most cans had dust on them.)
Sandwich menus were dirty and covered with items crossed out. Service was kind and attentive, though.

If you don't mind waiting 30 minutes just to move through the line after you've already waited 15 minutes to order anything, this is your place to go. Unfortunately, I found that there was more talking with customers, with one person at the register than anything else. Service before checking out seemed friendly and courteous.

I really wanted to like this place since it is a small business. However, sandwiches aren't that good and way too pricey. They are 80% bread and 20% fillings. I mostly tasted bread. We are not living during WW2, cut down bread amount, and it is ridiculously high. I don't buy sandwiches for the taste of bread.
I came in a few times and tried multiple items on the menu. Mostly, they were mediocre at best, although the price was above average.
I would rather take my money to Potbelly sandwich shop, Snarf, or Deli Sandwich shop on Alameda Ave and Union Blvd.

Staff was very friendly and polite.
