Vesuvio Bakery & Deli

This is the Italian bakery I return to with every visit to Chicago. I first discovered the amazing bakery 50 years ago.

Super friendly staff, fresh bread.

Great food 😋

Please never close down!!!! I love this place so much. We’ve been coming here for over 25 years.

Great food, great service

Great friendly family ran bakery with the best fesh baked bread around. A real neighborhood jem! For different holidays they bake specialty breads, so for Valentains Day I got a heart shaped bread, cut it in half and made a fun pizza bread for my woman! It went over very well! Thank you Vesuvio!

Delicious Authentic Italian food!

We go here frequently and love trying new foods and rebuying our favorites. With options from a variety of pasta and sandwiches, Stuffed focaccia, cannolis, Italian sausage and beef, cookies and cakes there is a meal for any event. My kids are picky eaters, but they always look forward to the food we bring home from Vesuvio. They eat it all!

The owners are wonderful. The customer service is superb and they are always fun to talk to. I highly recommend this bakery/deli.

I've been here 3 days in a row now. First time I got it A sandwich made out of focaccia with lunch meat. Amazing and chocolate cake donuts and chicken lemone. Today I was treated to the beef. Can't go wrong. Everything's homemade and the mother who serves you feels like your mother. Prices were amazing as well as the food.

Vegetarian options: During the holidays, as long as it's before 2:00 in the afternoon and you're driving close by, I suggest you stop by. And once you bite into the first piece of whatever you order, you'll know you have to come back no matter how far you live.

Parking: You're gonna love it love .

Their French Bread stays soft and fresh for more days than the majority of other bakeries. Recommend the cold/ hot subs during the afternoon. Hot subs only on the weekdays, the meatball sub I feel is a hidden gem here! Try the combo sub. Any sub its a generous amount of delicious sub for the price. Try their pastries, custard/ rasberry donuts, lobster tail.
