Went for lunch around 1:30 on Saturday. There's a good sized parking lot, so even though the place was busy, there were multiple spots for us to choose from. We ordered a Jimmy's chicken cutlet special sub, but since my friend is allergic to red peppers, we asked to have it without. The woman taking our order suggested fresh tomato instead, which ended up being a great idea. Our sub was ready in about 5 minutes. The bread wasn't anything super special but it was fresh and hearty enough to contain the ingredients. The cutlets were plentiful and delicious. We ate in their little dining area. This sandwich was well worth the price. read more

Ordered 2 subs online for lunch. A large Italian and a small chicken parm which came to $32, a bit ridiculous out the gate price wise but I wanted to try them. I get there 20-25 minutes after placing the order and check in at the front of the store, not ready so I stand to the side. 5 minutes goes by, 10 minutes goes by...close to 15 minutes the girl hands me one of the 2 subs and says this one's ready, ok. I stand to the side and wait another 10-15 minutes for the Italian sub so in total about 45 minutes or so for 2 subs. The chicken parm was honestly not good, lacked flavor, chewy, thin chicken cutlets overall flavorless. The Italian was pretty good. For the price, the wait and the overall lack of any kind of system to get food out on time I'd definitely never go back nor would I suggest anyone bother going at all. read more

The food is OK but $20 for a sandwich is not in my budget. I don't know who they think catering to but this is not Beverly Hills. They are out of touch with reality lower prices higher volume more profit. They don't understand this you were taught that the cost of your product you triple that and that's the price you sell for they're just greedy. read more

Went there today for lunch. Ordered chicken parm sub with sauce and cheese. Came out with no sauce and cheese and it was cold. Went back to correct my order, the woman at the counter was obviously annoyed that I brought it back, to her I apologize I brought her my business. They added the sauce and cheese, the bread was still cold. Was hoping for more from this place based on their reviews. Had it not been for the bad attitude from the employee I probably wouldn't have made this post and just moved on and taken my business elsewhere. read more

My husband ordered half tray of lasagna, meatballs, and extra sauce for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was delicious! When picking up order everything was ready. Spoke with several people on phone and very helpful. Thanks, again for making our Holiday bright. Jan Fahey read more

Subs were great back then. New owners are cheating out. The chicken parm tasted like rancid oil. Change your oils often and use the same ingredients as before. Thank you read more

Best Italian deli in the area sandwiches are second to none great old fashioned deli I can't say enough about the quality of the deli I drive from Salem nh to get sandwiches read more

Unimpressed. A deli market - seating area is cold and not welcoming. We felt like it would be better to eat outside. Staff was nice but the food was nothing to write home about. We got 2 subs and one was so bad, we literally threw it away. No flavor very little meat read more

Veal parm is not veal!! Sauce and breadcrumbs - not at all like the real Borrellis!! The old owners get injustice to not share recipes!! read more

Sandwiches are great! Service is another story. People around town have been saying that they have gone downhill since changing ownership, I never witnessed it until recently read more

Best and only Italian deli has always been they carry high quality cold cuts cooked meals and great subs and olives all kinds of salads

Food is a bit pricey They take a really long time to make one sub with not many customers waiting Food average read more

Visited Borrelli's, a mainstay deli in the Merrimack valley. I understand it is under new ownership, and that many have expressed reservations. I had none. I ordered an Italian sub. The bread was the same as it ever was, the filling of Italian cold cuts was as voluminous as it ever was. The veggies and dressing were as good as it ever was. Staff friendly, and the place was vibrant and lively at lunchtime read more

I have been going here for over 30 years. This is the final straw. Went this afternoon to get some soup. Got wedding soup, soup of the day. Got a large to go. What I ended up with was 32 ounces of cloudy not so good broth when i got home. The ass that gave it to me had to known was he was giving me. This is not the first time this place has been going down for quite awhile. They dont know what they are doing. read more

For our store Holiday Party I ordered a catered meal for 20. The food was ready for pick up as I requested and it was hot enough to last throughout our gathering. Everyone thought it was delicious and well prepared with plenty to go around. I would highly recommend Borrelli's for your next catered meal or just about anything they serve. Thanks for the awesome meal. read more

Prices are too high. You can get an American sub at Market Basket with whatever you want on it for $5.29. What does that say about the prices here? read more

I will never go back there again. I was always there for lunch and dinner. They changed hands and now they're not the same anymore. Slow service. Quality is non existent. Higher prices. It's a shame. All of the people who were there said the same thing. read more

Probably the single most delicious panini I have ever had....The Bread was crunchy in a good way , pressed to perfection and the ingredients were so fresh, I had to stop myself from inhaling them. I took my time and enjoyed every single bite. Th here needs to be more Borellis in America. Italian Deli at its best. Thank you for a very enjoyable culinary experience! read more

Excellent subs service and location-----------------------gor a large roast beef - loaded with mayo,oil and vinegar

Wow ok so if you are looking for a great traditional Italian sandwich. I don't think you can get better than this place . Ordered the napolitain sandwich and I got to be honest it was huge ! It's got chicken cutlet cold cuts Italian peppers. Plus it's all held together with a great bread fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and quick , the price was fair by today's standards. One of the best sandwich I've had in a very long time!! read more

Ordered a Reuben sandwich because my coworkers recommended it from this place. And they were right. This sandwich was delicious. I got it with corn beef. Very generous amount of meat. Bread wasn't too dry for this type of sandwich. Right meat-to-bread ratio. Right amount of cheesiness. This was also my first time having sauerkraut in a sandwich and it just works. And the sweetness from the Russian dressing brings it over top. Look at my pictures of the sandwich. It is a work of art. This sandwich also comes with chips. I wished instead of chips the restaurant, had something they made in-house but the sandwich more than makes up for it. Overall, my coworkers had great things to say about other sandwiches here and their recommendations have earned my trust with this Reuben sandwich. I will come back to this place to try other things. I recommend at least trying what I got. Hope that helps. read more

For 30 years the only Italian sausage I would buy was from Borelli's. My last experience convinced me I can do better. Not only has the price gone up, but the quality has gone down. The sweet Italian had no flavor at all, was completely lacking in spices, and was full of gristle. read more

The thing with Borellis, chicken cutlet subs are great. Other than that I haven't had anything noteworthy. Chicken cutlets are amazing here, but the Italian sub is not really an authentic Italian sub. The meatball and chicken parm sub have a flavorless sauce. Meatballs can be a bit softer. The chicken parm would be great if the sauce changed. The bread is always good. For methuen where food isn't the greatest to begin with this is not bad. read more

We have not been going here because the quality of food has gone down severely. But, my wife wanted to try their sausage because that's the one thing we haven't tried since the ownership took over. The old Borellis sausage was the best of the best. Unfortunately, again the new ownership downgraded the sausage quality. Loaded with gristle. As soon as I hit gristle that's it for me. Gross! It's a shame what they have done to this business. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Just finished subs from Borelli's. I had a Sicilian, my hubby ordered the Valley. One word sums both up "AMAZING!!!!!!" We did take out but there is a cafe area to eat in. The imported Italian Cold Cuts and Cheeses were top quality and plentiful, the accompaniments perfect, and the fresh Italian bread the best. The sub was a foot long and the price the most reasonable around. We can't wait to try the entire menu. Great job, new Borelli's.......YUM read more

It has slipped since the last owner the deli is poorly displayed and mead section was also empty

Recently had a Buffalo chicken cutlet sub from here and it was one of best I've had in Massachusetts! This sub was a special for the day (which they allowed me to modify) and every bite was delicious! Wish it were a standard menu item, but I think it's always available if you just ask. Will be back! read more

Their food is always fresh The chicken cutlet, and prosciutto sub is one of my favorites of all times just ask for a little more balsamic. Nice little Italian place. read more

Great subs and soup. I can only speak to the Chicken Parm or Meatball subs. Great size and taste. I usually save half for later. Would highly recommend. You order at counter and it's ready in less than 5 minutes. read more

Went there for lunch, ordered the small Pastrami with Swiss sub, the service was great, the food was great.

For those of you that remember, this is the old Mama Mary's spot on Merrimack Street. It's been Borellis for many years. The original owner definitely made a name for himself in Methuen. There is now a new owner, didn't change the name and has made some order processing changes for the better. It does throw you off because everyone was used to the old ordering method. Nothing has changed except some new faces. The reason why it is a good Italian store is the people. Good seating in the eat-in dining room. Expert sandwich makers Veal parm is my go to (secret is the milk fed veal) Best Ruben in the Merrimack Valley Let's put it this way, I have never been disappointed. Their deli has premium cold cuts, sausage, prepared meals, stuffed peppers, rice balls and multiple salad selections. Borellis offers what I consider premium foods with a good value for your hard earned dollar. read more

I've always loved Borrelli's Deli. They have subs, paninis, soups, and daily specials. The place is always busy, but the turn around from placing an order to receiving it is really fast. They use Tripoli bread for the sun rolls which just elevates the whole sandwich. This is the only place I go to get an Italian Sub. The staff are polite and attentive. They also have a deli counter with really good meats, and sides like potato salad etc.... They also have prepackaged take home meals, and a small dining area. The prices are a little bit high, but not when you compare it to lesser food at some places. Basically what I'm saying is it's worth it. I highly recommend stopping in, you won't regret it. Just be aware that around lunch time you will hit that lunchtime rush, so there may be a line, but like I said previously, it moves fast. read more

Big fan of the chicken rice balls. Got some today and was all dark dark meat and taste very different . Very disappointed, miss the white meat. read more

Great Italian deli with tons of premade food, not to mention all the tasty Party trays and Platters!

The service is lacking. Was just there to get some food for a gathering this weekend. There were literally 4 people in the store. There was a cashier working but was on the phone. There were 4 workers behind the counter working. I was standing there waiting and someone came in after me and was waited on before me. It was like I was not even in the store. When I brought it to someone's attention they just looked around and then at me not even an apology.I ended up saying forget it I'll go elsewhere and left the store. I'll be buying what I need elsewhere from now on. read more

I really like Italian deli's. Dennis's Italian friend highly recommended Borrelli's so I came here to check out the goods. It has a deli, for sandwiches, small meat counter, small grocery area and pre-made meals. Their antipasti dishes looked really good esp the stuffed peppers. The process are a little cheaper than the other Italian stores nearby (Mike's Red Barn) but the sausage that we got was a bit dry and not as flavorful as the competition. I hope to come back to try a lunch special soon as they have Boar's Head meats. read more

This hole in the wall deli has a large variety of lunch options as well as antipasti and refrigerated prepared foods to go. We have ordered from here before, and consider Borrelli's a solid choice when you just have to have that meatball sub, eggplant chicken parm, or any Italian-inspired craving. Ordered via phone and drove up to a rear door set up for contactless pickup. They were appropriately-masked and put the order in our trunk for us. read more
