I haven't had Angelo's for 9-10 years, so I decided to return. I ordered the #3 Spicy Salame Calabrese, which was good and came with tasty bread. I'm not sure it's worth $17.99 and they tack on a 2.5% fee for using a (debit) card. However, the service was welcoming, so it's worth a try on your way to the beach.
Always a hot with the family getting sandwiches from Angelo's. Friendly staff! Excellent sandwiches! The bread is very fresh! Meats and cheeses are sliced to order. The green garlic spread is incredible! Today we ordered two turkey and one prosciutto. They have a a great menu of cokx and hot sandwicjes along with salad and pasta options. We usually get for take out but thete is pkenty if seating for dine in. If you do decide to dine in, they serve beers and wine. There are plenty of dry goods, pastas, sweets, relishes, olives etc to shop for while you are waiting. Don't pass on their sides, also excellent! After many years, Angelo's remains the best choice for sandwiches in Bel.int Shore! Setvice and quality food!
First off, the service here is great. The staff were warm, welcoming, and made the experience feel really friendly from the start. I tried the Torpedo sandwich, and while it was good, I realized I personally prefer hot sandwiches over cold ones so for me, the food was just okay this time. That said, I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying other items on the menu. The ambience is pretty quiet since most people seem to grab their food to go rather than dine in. It's more of a quick stop spot than a place to hang out. Overall, a solid place to check out if you're in the 2nd Street area, especially with the great service.
I checked out Angelo's Italian Deli and I really wanted to like it, especially since it has that classic local spot feel and the ambiance is actually pretty fun. It's colorful, a little playful, and feels like one of those neighborhood places you'd expect to have solid, comforting food. But the food... I can't lie, it just did not hit for me. I ordered what was recommended as a go-to, something like their number one, thinking I couldn't go wrong with the most popular option. And somehow, that ended up being the biggest disappointment. The bread was insanely hard, like to the point where chewing it actually felt like work. I'm not even exaggerating when I say my jaw was sore by the end of it. It completely took away from whatever flavors were there because all I could focus on was how tough it was to get through each bite. I've been to Italy once, and I don't remember anything being that rough to eat, so it just threw me off. Maybe it was an off day or just not the right order for me, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable. The vibe is there, the location is great, but based on that experience alone, I wouldn't go back for the food.
The seating area in the front has a few tables. There are also a few seats overlooking the sidewalk outside. I came here for a sandwich and I got the Torpedo, which is a three meat sub sandwich with mortadella, capicolla, and salami. The bread was the best part. It's really fresh, crusty and truly great. I'd come here to get bread. It's that good. The sandwich itself was good, but not great. The ingredients were all fresh. But the combination lacked flavor. It was in no way bad. It just wasn't memorable. The service is good. The guy who took the order was pleasant. The sandwich was made to order. It took about 10 minutes, not a long wait. The Italian grocery items looked really nice. I'd cone back for that too, just wouldn't go out of my way for the sandwich,
angelo's is everything you want in an italian deli! to complement your sandwich they have chips, soda, wine, cannolis, what more could you need? there are three vegetarian sandwich options: the caprese, eggplant + pepper, and a hot eggplant parmesan. i ordered the caprese sandwich, and it hit the spot!! the pesto spread was delicious, and the toppings felt very fresh. i also really enjoyed the texture of the bread.
Update on the mild Italian sausage we bought from Angelos. Decent taste, but full of fat. Made a sausage grinder with bell peppers and onions and every other bite was fat. I broke up the rest for lasagna. No thanks.
Delicious sandwiches Great service Has a little section indoors and outdoors that you can eat Grocery section too
Great location on second street. Outdoor seating and a cool Italian vibe and goods inside. We walked by this place many times and we noticed that the sandwiches looks amazing. This time we went in and had some red wine and a sandwich. Great and quick service. Unfortunately the sandwiches looks amazing was a bit underwhelming and a bit overpriced. I am going to back and try another sandwich and might get a different experience. In any case solid place.
This place is awesome! Right from the start we walk in and the nice guy at the front greeted us as soon as we got. Very friendly environment nice a cozy place love all the authentic Italy ideas they have to buy. Food we got the pastrami sandwich and a trio they were delicious! Highly recommended place to check out in Long Beach!
I found this Italian deli on Yelp after seeing so many glowing reviews about their sandwiches, and I was really excited to try it. The deli is situated on a corner of a busy street, and there's no dedicated parking. so you'll need to rely on street parking, making sure to pay attention to the signs and meter restrictions. Once I arrived, it was bustling inside: people were chatting loudly, going about their daily routines, and there was one person ahead of me ordering. The vibe of the place was fantastic. it felt both classy and cozy, almost like stepping into a local's home. You can tell it's a place where regulars gather. people just felt at ease and comfortable. The staff were super friendly. The store is filled with all kinds of Italian delights: olive oils, gourmet snacks, and even Italian icecream. I ordered their most popular sandwich, the number one of the menu but to be honest, I think I may have been too hyped up. The sandwich was just okay, not bad, but also not as special as I expected. If I had to rate it, I'd give it about a three out of five. Maybe it was just that day, or maybe I was expecting too much, but I also noticed the price was a bit steep. For a sandwich, a drink, and a dessert cake, I ended up spending almost $35. I was hoping the sandwich alone would be more in the $8 to $9 range, but at $16 or $17, it felt overpriced. I left a bit disappointed because, with all the hype, I was expecting something really exceptional. Hopefully, next time, I'll give another item a try and see if the experience improves, but for now, I'm a bit let down.
Its a pretty good sandwich! This torpedo has a pesto spread which is fresh and delicious.. plenty of deli meats and goods. The bread is soft but crisp. My husband ordered the chicken parm which is his favorite. My only thing is id prefer if they had an option to order half a sandwich. Its definitely too much for one person..they are worth the price..but if you are a single person that wants a simple sandwich there should be an option to order half.. its a lot of commitment.. or you save the half for later. There are places to sit or you can call in advance and pick up.
Spotted this during my lunch and I'm so glad I did!! Not only did I have an amazing lunch, but I get to have left overs for tonight! I am so satisfied with everything from the customer service to the indoor/outdoor dining!! Definitely coming back with friends to share a sub.
Angelo's Italian Deli is definitely worth a try! The sandwiches are bomb and packed with so much flavor, and the pasta is really good too. It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality and taste of the food make it worth it. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and welcoming, with that authentic neighborhood Italian deli feel. I also really like all the changes they've made to the spot and the variety of Italian foods and products you can purchase while you're there. Every time I've gone, I've seen the same cashier, and he is always so nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

I passed by this place a couple times, and ever since I moved here to Long Beach I have been looking for an Italian deli to visit. After a day at the beach, a sandwich sounded really good to me. It's smaller than I imagined for an Italian market. They have a number of items but not some that I'm used to seeing. Their deli counter was also pretty small. They only had one pasta salad and a few other dishes. I will give them some credit on their cannolis. They looked really big and I'm sure they were delicious. I went in and ordered my girlfriend and I a sandwich each. I was more than surprised by how much they actually cost. I figured this would be the one time I would spend this much money for sandwiches because they are using plenty of fresh ingredients and probably make their bread from scratch. After opening up our sandwiches, we noticed that the bread was indeed fresh and quite rustic. It was stacked with all the ingredients necessary for a great sandwich and tasted very good. The garlic spread was a great highlight and yet wasn't overpowering. My girlfriend and I give the sandwiches an eight out of ten. If I'm being Frank, I don't believe these sandwiches should cost anywhere near $20. 15 at the most, but that's cutting it close. read more

Randomly stumbled across this place. First time here, cozy vibe! They have seating inside as well as some grab and go market type items. They had a plethora of sandwiches to choose from. Two of them were vegetarian options. I got the Caprese and it was delicious! The bread they used was phenomenal. Ingredients were fresh. They also had pastas and salads on the menu, and I think I saw olives too ! read more
After an appointment on 2nd, I was starving and wanted something fresh to go. Voila Angelo's. I was hungry and not interested in choosing, so I got the #19 and some penne arrabbiata to go. Both were tasty and I will definitely be back. Service was excellent and I love the new decor. read more
Loved! I didn't think I was an Italian sandwich fan until I went to New York and had one. I've been craving one ever since and was scared nothing would live up to it I got the #10 and it was good. Bread was excellent. The oil vinegar and garlic spray was delicious. Ingredients felt premium Two days later and I already am going back (if they're open for dinner ) Staff nice and helpful. read more

Angelo's Italian Deli is a charming deli shop in the heart of Belmont Shore. Past the beaded Italian flag curtain is a wide selection of both things to make and things to eat. Beyond friendly service as well. I enjoyed their recommended #10 Sandwich, the Parma Prosciutto, and it delivered on all fronts. Perfectly balanced flavor and texture. Give this place your business. read more

7/16/23 As my girlfriends & were strolling down 2nd Street, we passed by Angelo's Deli. I hardly ever get to see some of the businesses around Belmont Shore on 2nd St. because we usually walk around late at night. I scoped it out & looked around. They serve up Italian inspired sandwiches, noted olives & artichokes on the deli case, what looks to be freshly made pastas in the fridge, breads & other merchandise. It's a fairly small deli & it looks promising. I'm not much of a sandwich type of person but am willing to try it sometime. Having had delicious & filling Lebanese food just recently....maybe in the near future. Jackson, (if I got his name correctly) was welcoming & friendly which made this first impression impactful. I would definitely return because of this encounter. There is a community table & bench indoors & few chairs with bar type seating where you can enjoy your order. Parking, of course is on the streets-parking meters. read more

The food is always fresh, and served with a smile. The customer service is wonderful and helpful. The ambiance is quiant and clean. We always order the meatball sandwich, scrumptious and so good; heart and filling. The pasta salad is so fresh and worth it. We also order the Torpedo sandwich, filled with pesto, Italian deli meat and, lettuce, purple onions, tomatoes, and cheese; my favorite! Make sure to order the sweet imported blood orange Italian soda, which goes great with the sandwich. Don't forget to grab some Italian cookies to go! Enjoy! read more
"2nd street" is the heart of Long Beach City coastal vibes, shopping, numerous restaurants, bars/night life. Expect (sometimes tight) and busy street parking. Buongiorno! Go here for your Italian goods, subs, pasta, cannolis, wines, etc., etc, oh my! Find this really cute Italian deli at one of the 2nd street corners. Once you walk in through the door you are transported to Italy. Really enjoyed the torpedo sandwich, deli meats were perfect, not overpowering, lightly dressed with oil and balsamic vinegar, pesto spread, on a baguette roll. I was too full to indulge in the other items, but saw many locals drop in and out to pick up their pasta orders. Definitely a local favorite . Looking forward to visiting again. read more
