The deli’s atmosphere has evolved over time, bringing a more laid-back and unpretentious vibe.

If you're new to Concord or a longtime local, this deli invites you to taste tradition and quality with every bite.
Atmosphere is a little down, they need some background music, but sandwiches and servings are great and taste as good as always.
I remember the last time I was here about 5 years ago. The place was bubbly, with the music going, the owner and a bunch of Italians chatting, but walking in today, just seems dreary. I'm not sure if this place has changed owners/management because the store looks a bit rundown now. Anyway, my sandwich was alright. I always enjoyed their sweet roll, but where are the ingredients? It's all bread. I hope the deli sticks around, cause whenever I’m in Concord I look forward to having a sandwich from here. I don't have high hopes at this point.
I stopped in hearing excellent recommendations for this Delicatessen. I was impressed. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They use fresh ingredients and it's made to order. Thank you for the great experience.
Update: 2025 Under new ownership. The girl behind the counter was amazingly friendly and helpful. I made my own sandwich, Turkey, Roast beef,bacon, sprouts, lettuce, onion and mayo on Sourdough till. Huge sandwich, only $12.50! One half was enough for one sitting! It was delicious! If you haven't been here, do yourself a favor and get in your car right now! This place is, and always has been, a gem. The food is always amazing, their sandwiches and hot food blow my mind everytime. I have a lot of food allergies and they worked with me so easily and never once did they make me feel like I was being difficult! I had a dagwood with no cheese or tomato. Soooo good! The ladies in there are so nice! I'll definitely be back!
