They were awesome! I mentioned I am gfree while looking at their menu. The chef? Pointed out options both fresh and frozen, went in the back and brought out a sub roll. We mentioned we were going to an event next door, he said I am making a Caesar salad no croutons for that and other dishes. Everything was safe and delicious at both locations.
A wonderful local Italian deli that offers delicious food - many of which can be made gluten free! They are so kind and reassuring that your food is being handled safely.
I used to come here back in the day for cannolis but I got a little scared of the cross contam potential. I decided to come by today because I saw people trying the subs and I had to have one if it was safe! They confirmed they do have have a dedicated slicer and area and change gloves, but he did confirm all of this with a piece of bread he was eating that had crumbs falling out of his mouth 😂 but yet I followed through. The sub was the best sub I’ve ever had. They know what they’re doing.

Great old school Italian deli. Not everything is GF. But, There is a dedicated slicer. And everyone is well versed in avoiding cross contamination.
The food is AMAZING! A meatball parm sub was something I missed eating. They have a huge variety of choices. Their deli has Boars Head cold cuts.
I’m thrilled to say ‘I’ve found a new, great and safe place for delicious food!’
We ordered gf chicken Parmigiana, gf chicken Marsala, gf cannolis, and a gf Italian sub. When ordering on the phone they assured me that they cook and prep everything separately and that all gf items would be packaged separately and labeled. They were extremely helpful and informed me that as long as they were given notice everything could be made gf. The cannolis were amazing and something I haven’t had since being diagnosed with Celiac. My son loved the Chicken Parmigiana and ate the whole thing. We also made a large regular catering order and everyone seemed to enjoy the non gluten free food as well
This was the best sandwich I’ve ever had. It was an actual gluten free hero bread, crunchy and so good. I’m a celiac and I had no reaction. They also have gluten free Canolis and frozen desserts. Highly recommend.
Gluten free cannoli!!!!!! Amazing!! So many gluten free options it’s a must go!
I want to cry. first sandwich since diagnosis 4 years ago. so amazing. huge freezer stocked with home made and grocery items. friendly staff what else could you ask for. came all the way from Orlando FL so worth it
So nice and suck great food. Been there twice no problem. I have a very severe gluten allergy and they took it very seriously. While you are waiting for your food you can have a very nice conversation with the employees
Everyone was so nice and very careful on not cross contamination. The sandwich was absolutely delicious and they didn't just have sandwiches,I love that they have a whole freezer section where there was all these items that I can't get in grocery stores. They definitely gained a loyal customer.
Absolutely love this place! Lots of gluten free frozen food options and the deli makes an amazing gluten free Italian hoagie. They also have yummy fresh gluten free cannoli's
Not careful with cross contamination when i stopped in for a visit. Ordered a GF sandwich and saw they used the same knife that just cut a regular hero. Pointed it out but got a totally disgusted look. Was a complete waste of my money for an overpriced sandwich to begin with.
Update January 2014- went back to try again because of so many raves. Went to order a gf sandwich but they were out of their regular bread so they had me pull a pack of Udi's hamburger bun from the freezer. They nuked it and made the request. It was terrible, strike two.
Vito, VJ, Sal, Peter - all the guys at Little Italy are awesome! extremely knowlegable about gluten contamination. They have a dedicated gluten free slicer and boars head deli which is gluten free (just let them know when you order so they change gloves). Their selection of frozen gf products is great.
I've had family get-togethers catered gluten free, they've prepared gluten free wraps & heros on a regular basis (when's the last time you had a gluten free Italian combo!)
I highly recommend this place to anyone who has celiac or is gluten sensitive.
Every time I visit family in Monroe, I make a point to visit this shop. From cakes to sandwiches, they have I all. Thanks guys.
This place is amazing ! They know what they are talking about ! They know a lot about gf and make homemade options and have the most frozen gf options I have seen yet ! They also so gf catering the Italian gf hero was amazing but just call ahead of time ! The nicest people !
they have a good selection of Gf goods in the freezer and a number of pastas and baked goods in the shelf. They are the only store i know that carries pasta mia dried pasta which is the best out there. they also have a dedicated slicer for cold cuts. every udis flavor is there which is a bonus. They make a tremendous gf Italian combo.
They are sooooooo knowledgeable and they have GF breadcrumbs!
They're a really good Italian deli with lots of GF options. They made me a really nice GF hero. The freezer is packed with a wide selection of GF breads, pies, cookies, pasta, meatballs, fried eggplant, biscotti, etc. It was a real treat.
