    Ham & Cheese

    Quaint classic American deli! Well priced, large, delicious sandwiches served out of a picturesque historic deli. Service was fast and staff was polite. Will be back!

    Caprese panini

    Nice local sandwich shop! Tons of options here so difficult to decide. I got the Caprese panini sandwich. Fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and balsamic vinegar. Nice and toasty. Cheese is perfectly melted. Bread is super fresh. Only $7.75! Tip: beautiful park right across the street to eat in. Would recommend for anyone working in the Lexington area.

    Great little deli with tons of options. Mostly your standard feo expectations but also a number of specials with fun names recognizing the local history. They also have a lot of smoothie options and the smoothie I had (strawberry) was very good. The size of my chicken salad sandwich was pretty small but it was good quality and a reasonable price so I left happy.

    Second update: they messaged me again to remind me of the gift card and now they have blocked me from responding. I attached a photo. This is crazy! Update: thanks to the owner for reaching out. This is my response to her message. She offered 25$ gift card and said she didn't realize i was pregnant.: Just to clarify, I told you i was pregnant. I was massive and showing. I told you it was an emergency and you still said no. I'm moving into a new home and Lexington is too far. Thank you for your offer. Maybe you can buy the next person in the store a sandwich and pay it forward. This establishment is now having people harass my inbox. Is Vera a customer, neighbor or associate of yours? Tell this person to leave me alone. I've reported the account to yelp and blocked her. It's absurd that someone is trolling my reviews and t

    Cup of chili
    Diana K.

    Stumbled upon the Avenue Deli when a friend and I were walking my dog in downtown Lexington. We were ready for a mid-afternoon lunch an the advertisement of gluten free sandwich bread on the window front caught our attention so we decided to try a 1/2 sandwich and cup of chili each. Since we had the dog and it was a beautiful day, she went in to order while I waited outside with the dog. I expected a longer wait and before I knew it (less than 10 minutes), she walked out with our lunches in a brown bag. We found a nice stone bench not far from the deli in the shade. She ordered the Napoli and I, the Caprese with prosciutto both on the gluten free oatmeal bread. Both sandwiches were cut in half on two whole pieces of GF bread each ... so what they considered as a 1/2 sandwiches were actually whole sandwiches. Both generously filled with meat, Buffalo mozzarella (on mine) and veggies (mostly on hers). The bread was surprisingly placed on a panini griddle on both sandwiches ...which was a very nice touch. The bread was rich in flavor and not dry like dust like most GF breads. The sandwiches were definitely a 5; however, the chili fell short of expectations. We don't think it was homemade, rather purchased in bulk at a restaurant supply store. We would definitely consider stopping in again for the sandwiches but would skip the soup. They also offer smoothies which seemed like a popular item and looked pretty refreshing and tasty. Sandwiches were very fairly priced!

    Actually between a 2 & 3 ordered a greek salad which had a scant tbs. of feta. Should have gotten a garden salad. Will not get another one here...

    delicious and huge turkey sandwich on yummy gluten-free bread!

    Delicious sandwiches, wraps, and soup - Overall: friendly staff, gluten-free options, convenient location, and fast service I had turkey on gluten-free bread - turkey was in abundance and tasted like it was fresh sliced, all the toppings were crisp and fresh. Tons of sauce options also. Friend had thanksgiving sandwich- Huge! Very tasty, fresh stuffing and yummy cranberry sauce, she loved it! Veggie soup was very flavorful and hot with huge chunks of vegetables and seasonings. Prices were very reasonable for the sizes of the sandwiches- fresh apples and cookies a MAJOR plus for my friend and I. Will return ASAP!

    Good fillings.

    Its always exciting for me to try a new deli - especially one with a good reputation. Its a small shop with no frills - sandwiches, chips, some bread and some beverages - all that a good deli needs. The small counter with stools to eat at is a great touch. Service was great - speedy and very friendly. The sandwiches are very hefty, and are very reasonably priced. I got the ' NY Double Decker' with hopes that it'd be a NJ style Sloppy Joe.. and it was pretty close. Great size, good meats and toppings.. even had rye bread. Sadly, the rye is what dinged that 5th star here. Opening the sandwich you can see impressions in the rye - not a bad thing, since yeah, you make sammiches with your hands. Its normal. But.. not for rye bread. Rye should not be squishy.. and it had all the consistency of a sponge. Major bummer.. but fortunately everything else shined here, and Avenue Deli pulls the 4 stars easily.

    Liverwurst deli sandwich - delicious !

After pouring through reviews and local forums, people consistently mentioned D'Agostino's. I decided to give it a try. Everyone was right: It is a great sandwich! I ordered the small, traditional Italian sub. I ordered mine with easy oil/vinegar, tomatoes, hots, lettuce, and mayo. I'm not a fan of raw onions whatsoever. The sub arrived perfectly, fresh not soggy. The sub roll is super soft, yet somehow holds up to the vegetables and condiments! The bread is freshly baked and some of the best bread I've had from a sub spot! The sub was piled generously, yet sliced perfectly thin for a more "airy" bite. This is exactly how I like my sandwich. I am not a fan where it's like biting into a giant, thick slab of meat. Here, the meat is sliced thin and arranged in such a way that every bite is "airy". True sub fabs will know exactly what this means. The closest example to this is the chain, Jersey Mikes. The meats were sliced thin. Arranged perfectly on that pillow-soft sub roll. Veggies were great, fresh and crisp. Juicy tomatoes. Delicious hots that truly make the sandwich! This is our new go-to for subs in Waltham. Next time, I'll try to be more adventurous given they have a plethora of specialty subs. Sometimes, you just crave a solid, OG Original Italian Sub!

We were not pleased but luckily we didn't have to wait that long. Our waitress was fabulous, efficient and informed, answering our questions about the menu. I had a glass of Shiraz and my friend had chardonnay which was served in a warm glass (fresh from the dishwasher maybe?) so she sent it back. Our waitress cheerily supplied a glass at the proper temperature. I ordered the squash risotto and scallops -- and my friend ordered a chicken tortellini dish. The scallops were big and cooked to perfection. I love risotto but don't make it, so I order it whenever I can, and this was delicious. My friend was well pleased with her dish, For 8pm on a Friday night the place wasn't too crowded and we had a relaxed meal where we could hear each other talk. Except for the wait at the beginning this was a perfect experience, and I will be back.
