Tony's Italian Deli

This restaurant has a new location in our neighborhood--I stopped by the other day to give it a try.  They are all about Italian sandwiches and salads, hot or cold.  Most of the sandwiches have Italian celebrity names--I had a Lucky Luciano, with Genoa salami, sweet Italian sausage, pepperoni, marinara sauce, roasted red peppers, topped with provolone cheese.  It's served open faced on a crusty roll.  I thought it would be a knife and fork sandwich, but the roll held up well and I was able to pick it up.  The sausage is ground fine, and the cheese held it all together.  The whole thing was absolutely delicious, a great blend of flavors.  I have to say it's one of the best Italian sandwiches I've ever had.

I also had a pasta salad and a cannoli.  The pasta salad was very heavy on the balsamic vinegar, olives, and vegetables, not very much pasta.  I prefer more pasta so it wasn't my thing, but it was OK.  The cannoli had a very good pastry shell--thick enough to handle but very crisp.  It had a ricotta cheese and sweet cream filling with chocolate chips, a maraschino cherry, and sprinkles.  The filling was very sweet, I couldn't taste the ricotta at all.

The fountain has the usual suspects--they are a Coke shop.  They also have the soft ice we all like.

I'd go back there for a sandwich and chips any time.  Maybe try a different dessert.
