    Had a recent visit and it did not disappoint. Got a turkey sandwich, chips, Diet Coke and it was delicious. My most favorite thing is walking around the market and looking at all the exciting things. Cookies, crackers, meats, cheeses, pastas. So many fun things. The service is always great, and the ambiance is fun. It's a happy place. Go experience it for yourself! You'll love it.

    One of my favorite places in Fresno. The only place I can find real spumoni. The people who work here treat everyone like family and everything they make tastes like love. From excellent sliced meats to wonderful premade dishes taken home, everything is delicious.

    Stopped by here to try some sandwiches when I was passing through Fresno and was happy I did. I tried the chicken parm and also the meatball and both were excellent. You grab a number at the front, wait for them to call it and then place your order, it was about 10 minutes once they had my order. I went first thing in the morning just as they opened and there was already a line which shows how popular the place is, so I am guessing at lunch time sandwiches may take a little longer. It's a full deli, has prepped hot food, a huge italian wine section and a lot more. Definitely will go back if I am in the area.

    The line is so long, as many want to get some of their delicious Italian food. We ordered the Cali Capri with turkey on a crunchy bread, which is a baguette. The inside was so good. Thick slices of fresh mozzarella, pesto, ripe tomatoes, ripened avocado and turkey! Yum. The baguette was not crunchy though, more on the soft side. To take home we picked up some sweet Italian sausage and a tub of pasta sauce. Will be trying that for dinner tonight! They have a real nice selection of root beers to choose from, so we picked up two of those. Very good choices. The people are friendly, the place is crowded with a low hum of talking. It was crowded, even at 1:30. After waiting for the sandwich, the checkout line was quick and friendly. I only took a point because I believe if the menu system crunchy or crispy bread, it should not be soft.
