Traveling on vacation and try to eat at local spots. Brought the family here and it was phenomenal. I got the Joe Mortali Bomb. If you like stuff with a good kick of heat, order it and you won’t be disappointed. It’s like a spicy cheesesteak sandwich. I got it on the sub roll. Also really tasty.

EDIT: Just found out that some kind local picked up our whole lunch tab as a random act of kindness. If you ever get to read this, thank you sir!

I changed my review after I figured out that the owners can be a bit prejudicial and I do not mean in race or ethnicity but if you're gay. I guess they dont like my money. Plenty of other places I can go without feeling like a second class citizen.

What they have is pride. You listen to them talk about the food, their specials, etc. they care. And you can taste it.
Fancy - no. Delicious- yes. With a lie lot of items you can’t get at a traditional deli, much less one of the chains.

Best “greasy spoon” Italian lunch counter this side of the Mississippi! Meatballs were juicy and rich with real (scratch cooking) flavor. Italian sausage was equally good, with fennel and very pleasant little kick. Peppers available for more kick! Wife would eat here every day. 90% of customers are greater by name and get their “usual” without opening their mouth.

Parking: Tiny lot, lots of take out; cars come and go.

Got a bacon, avocado, egg and cheese on a hard roll from them for breakfast today and it was absolutely delicious. Tastes like how breakfast sandwiches tasted back in the day. Highly recommend. Got the uncle Danny on a hard roll today (meatballs, sauce, ricotta and melted mozz) and a side of the Mac and cheese. The uncle Danny was fantastic. One of the best meatballs sandwiches I’ve ever had. The meatball actually tasted like meat and not bread filler. The Mac and cheese was super thick and creamy. Pretty good but next time I’d probably try something else just to try something different.

Parking: Very small parking lot and the place gets a lot of customers.

Yep I said it

There are so many great items here that it would take me all day to score them highly. But my favorite is on Wednesdays and fresh chicken cutlets, the best I’ve found locally to date. Think back going to your local Italian owned deli when the sandwich tasted awesome and your jaw hurt from that classic locally made Italian bread. If you’re a fan of broccoli rabe, Try Danny’s . Even the breakfast options are great.

Ordered Eggplant Parm it was terrible. First off, I couldn't get over the color grey it had no mozzarella, just a sprinkle of parm cheese. See the picture. I don't recommend this place.
