Tony's Italian Deli

Came here for the sandwiches.  Living on the North Shore, was hoping to have a place closer than Bari.  The store is clean..and bigger than I thought it would be.  The people are very friendly.

The sandwiches were OK.  As I have written in some other reviews, it's a matter of taste.  Had the Italian and the Veggie Subs.  The Italian was not skimpy.  The veggie was interesting.  Had roasted peppers, motz, and artichokes as well other vegetables.  The bread was the part that was OK.  Too soft for my taste.  I was hoping for a sub roll that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.  The veggie was pretty soggy because it.

I'm sure that a number of folks would and should rate this a 5 star.  It just wasn't what I was hoping for.

Came here hungry and walked out with pounds of food. Bad idea? NO because it was all so yummy!!! Lasagna YUM! Mostacolli YUM! marinara sauce YUM! Spumoni YUM! All the deli sandwiches YUM! Very nice people and very helpful! Next I will try the meatball sub!

Okay so its not that hard to find an Italian deli in Chicago, But to find a good Deli is not that easy. I love Tony's the Subs are great and they have a full line of imported goods from Italy. I am not a fan of the Italian sausage here, I do go else where for my Italian Sausage, But i am sure that is just preference and individual taste.
They are very nice here and if you go in at lunch to get a sub be ready to wait, the line gets long at lunch time. The sub is worth the wait, If you are not hip to what to get do yourself a favor and get a prosciutto and provolone sub. they also make it with fresh mozzarella which is amazing. Also before i forget the prices for the subs are very very reasonable.  
They also have a great selection of Italian cookies and pastries just like my mom makes. good stuff, take it from some one who is 100% Italian when looking into any Italian deli or restaurant ;)
