I remember them being in the John Hancock Building when I worked at Jamba Juice… this was my favorite place to go on my lunch breaks!! So Authentic!
I ordered the diavolo sandwich. It was amazing. The bread was fresh, the cuts of meat were delicious, the giardinera was spicy. Nothing to complain about. Honestly, one of the best in the city and I've dined at all the famous delis in chicago.

Great low key and affordable option for people that work and go to school downtown. Don’t sleep on their breakfast bagels!

Saw this deli when we moved into the Airbnb at 30 E. Ordered some tortellini salad and it was quite delicious. Not bad considering the convenience.
Have ordered other veg items, salads, gelato from them and they are pretty delicious. I loved their arancini balls. Extremely huge and mouthwatering. It’s quite hard to find them these days. The portion sizes of items, especially the sandwiches are pretty generous. Loved their lemon sorbet - so fresh! Their pistachio gelato is yummy, as well.
Yes, it’s a small deli place, but very convenient for nearby apartments and businesses. Very clean as well.
Not too many tables inside so I would recommend take out. Unsure if they put chairs out during summer.

Well the reason why I came here is because they opened up the Harry Potter shop which is two blocks down on Michigan avenue and I used to spot hero to park nearby. I didn't want to eat in any of the bougie restaurants and there was a Thai restaurant I went to nearby but I already had Thai food 2 days ago so I gave this Italian deli / Cafe a try. It was just a meh ok. There was nothing that got me excited in regards to their meatball sandwich it was predominantly sandwiches they didn't have other varieties of a hot foods that you could sit if they would have had spaghetti and meatballs or something being an Italian grocery store / Cafe I would have eaten that there are farmers market suit was just the meh okay. Service was good I can't complain I was hoping that they would have much pressure Italian dishes but I guess it's the best that downtown has and I've been to better but delis in the Chicago suburbs as well as in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Ambience had that groceries store food court kind of setting but the food was just okay. I was hoping I would get something super fresh or something tastier delicious but they weren't bad tasting food that's the three stars but I expected a lot more it's been trying to be a mom and pop Italian grocery store / deli. It even makes Franklin parks Al and Joe's deli I went to compare to Manny's low quality which was just a week ago

What stands out most is affordability! Not my favorite deli sandwich, but would go back for large portions, baked goods are pretty good, gelato is very good- and cheap!! *edited to 4 stars after remembering how good their coffee and lattes are!!

Came here off of a recommendation. First time was medicore, thought it was an off day. Came back another day and it was terrible. Got 2 sandwiches and both just tasted like lettuce despite all the ingredients. Maybe this place used to be good but after trying twice, no point to go back.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The Mac salad, the Italian, and other sandos are very great for a nice neighborhood place.

I've always loved this place (Huron location). Their subs and prepared foods are really good, and I find them filling and affordable. I'm specifically writing this to acknowledge the great service I received today. The counter staff are always warm and so sweet, today especially. Lexie(? I think) at the deli counter delivered me an actually perfect diavolo. I think I checked out like 10 mins ago, and the sandwich is already gone. It was so good. I love you guys.
As a veteran food service worker, I really appreciate the staff here and highly endorse this location. Also, their hours are for the overall store, which includes a small shopping selection of specialty items. Don't go to a counter deli 10-20 minutes before closing and expect hot food and full service. And if you do, don't write an angry review afterwards, because it's kind of embarrassing.
I'm leaving Chicago soon and will miss this place and its people. Thank you guys so much.
