Italian deli with all your go to Italian specials... very welcoming and clean.. fresh home made pasta to go or take home fresh to make
This place is so clean and food is so good it will take you off your diet ,try the chicken cutlet sandwich with vodka sauce. It's out of this world every time I get something here It's amazing if you haven't tried it try it.
Great deli in South Philly. I found it via an Instagram user named The Godfather of Meat who did a review. I went with the fried chicken cutlet with mozzarella, broccoli rabe and balsamic drizzle. It was delish. I grabbed a side of tortellini salad. Again, it was delicious. The place is tucked away in a strip mall and could be a little difficult to find. It's near the stadiums (Phillies, Eagles, Flyers) so you can pick up hero's (hoagies) and tailgate.
I got the cheesesteak rice ball and cheesesteak raviolis. Everybody loves this place so I am going to complain. 1. I love bread pudding. They had a handmade sign; 'New Item!! Homemade Bread Pudding.' I got very excited and ordered the Bread pudding. They were sold out!! 2. I didn't see my picture on the wall of fame. The Phanatic is on there twice. Granted we all love the Phanatic. But come on. Two of him/her/it and none of me?!?!? 3. I was racially profiled. They knew I wasn't a south Philly Italian and gave me ketchup with my raviolis. I felt like Henry Hill at the end of Goodfellas, I'm a nobody. -sidebar- The raviolis were undercooked but that is okay. I found a new way to cook them. 1 minute in the microwave and 3 minutes in the Air Fryer. Video of air fried raviolis at end of review video. It was my 1st rice ball. I liked it. The raviolis (minus the ketchup) were very good.
Came here during lunch to try some authentic Italian sandwiches. The staff were nice and attentive so they got my order in quick. I got a small turkey sandwich and a small Italian sandwich. When I got home, they had given me a turkey sandwich and a ham sandwich. To my disappointment, the small sandwiches are actually pretty small for the price.
Everything about this place is awesome. The Italian hoagie is perfection. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love it when I'm in town and get to eat here.
This is the best sandwich/hoagie I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Bread and meats and cheese is fresh and very flavorful. Mwah!
Great deli/market on Packer tucked into an unassuming strip mall. Pictures do it justice. Plenty of options to choose from, and service is quick. Very limited outdoor seating only.
I celebrated national hoagie day with an Italian hoagie from Pastificio. This hoagie was made by a true craftsman. The perfect ratio of cheese to meats to lettuce to oil to roll that made each bite literally the perfect bite. It was very easy to eat and not messy. I can't give it 5 stars because of the roll. It was not up to the standards of the rest of the hoagie. I'll definitely order from Pastificio again, and maybe if I get a really fresh roll I will bump this up to 5 stars.
