Owned and operated by Nick Petitti and Tim Canavan since 2020, this beloved deli continues the tradition established by Vinnie DeGennaro, maintaining its reputation for exceptional quality and friendly service. The menu features an impressive array of oversized signature sandwiches, including the famous Turkey Press made with Boar's Head turkey breast, baby Swiss, smoky bacon, and chipotle mayo on artisan bread, as well as the mouthwatering Pastrami Press with horseradish cheddar cheese on rye bread. Breakfast is served Monday through Friday from 9am and weekends from 8am, offering classics like fluffy buttermilk pancakes, homemade corned beef hash, omelets, and avocado toast on sourdough.
