My mother-in-law rarely makes the trip down to "The Avenue" (Massachusetts Avenue) anymore because she misses so many of the businesses that have left. When she does trek down, it's for the delectable, overflowing with meat, pastrami sub from D'agostino's. There's so much pastrami that she takes out half of it and saves it for a second serving. My husband says that the pastrami is very lean and that's what makes it so good. Meanwhile, I'm the vegetarian who loves that they offer a cheese sub! They're also heavy-handed with the cheese portions! Along with having a small grocery market, they offer New England-made desserts, ice creams (Barts and Shain's of Maine), salty snacks (Wrap City chips), and ready to heat and eat entrees. D'Agostino's is handicapped accessible and has a small private parking lot with free parking. There's also on-street parking. read more

Total mess. Picking up an order that was ordered in advance, people coming in off the street got their food first. Very disorganized. Workers literally ignore you. read more

We recently moved to the Waltham area and have been on the hunt for the best spot to get an Italian Sub delivered! 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! read more

Order ahead they said 15 to 20 mins try 40 mins and still didn't start making it. Idc how good it is if your busy say that don't waste people time. People were walking in ordering getting their subs before me. read more

ordered an italian with hot peppers{no hot peppers} no oil/oregano as requested and not too meaty/veggies same with the pastrami.NO honey mustard as requested {lack of meats} inconsistency seems to be a concern in this joint read more

The worst thing on Yelp is when a phenomenal joint has some bad review because of some arrogant unhappy individual who was upset that day and decided to take it out on a deli. This place rocks. I love the sandwiches here so much. I was in town for a few days and I ended up having 4...yes 4 sandwiches. I had to try as many as I could. The Pastrami and Swiss was a 10/10. The others were up there as well. This is a must go to spot. In fact, I'm moving to Boston and I hope that they name a sandwich after me with how often I will be eating here read more

Great Service (two at once served us) & delicious fish sandwich, fresh & hot. Plus a seafood salad on marble. These guys make good food, in my humble opinion. Thanks read more

Ordered delivery and they left my food on the porch and didn't call me and when I went to get it, it was ice cold because it's 20 degrees out!! Who does that!! I did have a tip for him! I guess you lost a customer!! That's was so rude!! read more

Great Italian sub on braided bread. Quick service even when busy. Online ordering system could use a pay-at-store option, though.

Excellent sandwiches with a great selection sure to please everyone. Market is wonderful. Awesome staff!

Great food. Great staff. Great service. I will definitely be going back. Meatballs are really good.

Ordered these sandwiches for delivery around 11am on a Tuesday online and gotta say, I'm impressed! Delivery was quick, everything was marked and packaged well - nothing missing. We got the Italian and a pastrami. Thess sandwiches were put together perfectly, as in every bite had a flavor of everything. I added the hots to mine and wow, that was an amazing flavor boost. It had a little kick but nothing too extreme. The pastrami had the cheese layered within, so it was perfectly mixed, and the pickles on top added the perfect crunch. The rolls were fresh on both sandwiches as well. My Italian easily made for 2 meals, the pastrami on the other hand went quickly. When we ordered, it wasn't quite clear if the Italian comes with cheese so we added extra just in case. read more

This place is awesome. Grab a ticket to order your sub. Check out the daily special! They're very nice in here. Also a market with general, Italian, and local goods. Can tell it's legit from all the regulars. The buffalo chicken tender sub special (w/ the fixings of your choice) is insanely good! read more

Consistently awesome for generations. Wonderful management & staff. Friendly and fast paced vibes. Love the variety in the frozen section and all the food from local businesses. And of course THE best cold cut sandwiches, sliced to order. You need to see the skill and effort that goes in to making each Italian sub. It makes it taste that much better. Fresh bread choices are top notch. My fave is the seeded braided roll before they're sold out for the day! read more

I grew up a couple blocks away and ate subs from D'Agostino's all the time. Haven't been back in years, but truly miss the experience of living close to an real Italian-American deli. read more

I recently place a catering order with D'Agostinos. I was coordinating from out of state and worked with Sam. He was exceptionally helpful with suggestions and making the process easy and simple. The event went off without a hitch, and everyone loved the food. Highly recommend for a great luncheon event. We had a primarily vegetarian menu: spinach lasagna, mac and cheese, fruit salad, sandwich wraps, finger sandwiches, and calzones. Great service! read more

D'Agostino's Delicatessen on Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington Heights is a modern day version of the small neighborhood market. An excellent place to get butcher shop in quality deli meats and cheeses featuring Boar's Head Brand. They also make subs and sandwiches for you made to order. And if you have any catering needs, they can fix up up with that for pick up or delivery. I have used them for a couple of occasions and they are always well received. You can also pick up some less poplar, yet delicious Italian pastas, suaces, and other ethnic treats. Of course other baked goods as well as chips and dips can be procured at D'AgostIno's. It is Super Bowl Sunday, so if you are still trying to figure out what to do for pre-game treats, give D'Agonstino's a call; you won't be disappointed. read more

I had worked all day, It was late. I was tired. And I was really jonesin' for a good dinner. I dragged myself in to find an extraordinarily long deli counter staffed by a couple guys who were perky and enthusiastic even at 10PM. I decided on the meat I wanted and the guy kept suggesting additions. 4 or 5 different cheeses, all sorts of veggies, a couple different kinds of peppers. By the time he was done, the thing I had imagined as a modest sandwich had morphed into a gargantuan thing of delicatessen beauty. I found a quiet space in the parking lot, took a bite and my eyes rolled back in my head and I gently relaxed into the seat. This is a sandwich! I ate and moaned and chewed and groaned and discovered that even as much as I liked this thing, it was big enough that some of it was going to survive as a snack for the next day. D'Agostino's, your delicious sandwich made my day. Two days in a row. My 1,300th review. read more

My husband brought me home an Italian with hots and extra pickles yesterday. I ate half. Ate the other half just now. It was perfect, the bread, meat, pickles everything..... just like yesterday! The best quality always! Thanks Dags!!!! read more

I would see this shop in Tv shows like Friends, will and grace back in the day but I didn't even know we had one of these in Boston till recently, I thought it was just New York. D'Agostino's Deli is the oldest deli in Massachusetts because of its famous sandwiches and unbeatable service. Such a delight to have visited this place they are friendly and service is incredible. My sandwich was excellent and a mouthful and it was delicious. Apparently they have been a standard in mass since the 60s. They have everything you need in a deli and their menu hasn't really change, but the consistency of their food is what makes them different. Subs are made daily by hand fresh at the order, definitely need to try another sandwich again at Dagostinos read more

I'm picky as hell. Sorry - don't be mad at me! I really just want a plain turkey sub with lettuce. It embarrasses people. So when we ordered catering for my work at lunch, we got that bigggggg sandwich. It was as long as a table. Luckily for me, there was turkey. I picked off the toppings, bit in, and was SO happy. The bread is fantastic and soft, and the turkey was...turkey! Delicious, not weird, and that's all I'm looking for. D'Agostinos is a favorite to many of my coworkers, and now it is a favorite of mine. read more

This place is bomb!!!!!! I got a fully loaded Italian sub. It did not disappoint. My daughter got the meatball sub and it was also delicious. I'm gonna have a hard time trying anything else but they had so many options and things that looked good. As long as I live here I will be getting my subs from here. No doubt. 5 stars. read more

I love this place! I drive from Acton to Arlington just for their sandwiches! The last two times that I've drove there, they tell me "we ran out of rolls." I'm not talking about walking in the door five minutes before they close either! I just left there and again they ran out of rolls & they don't close for another hour! Just in the three minutes that I was in the store, they told at least four other people who were visibly not happy that they ran out. I can understand it happening once in a blue moon but this is twice in the past ten days that I drove there and couldn't get a sub. They don't even give you an alternative. I spoke up and asked if I buy a whole package of bread if they'd make a sandwich for me? Then one of the guys spoke up and said that they could make it on white bread! If I hadn't said anything, they would have let me walk out the door with nothing! D'Agostinos, take some advice from a long time customer (20+ years) order more rolls! I guarantee you that it'll be better to have a few extra rolls at the end of the night than to have a bunch of unhappy customers. With an hour left, I'm sure another 20+ customers will be disappointed. read more

This is a diamond in the rough deli. Great sandwiches and selections, at very reasonable prices! The folks behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this deli for great, quick, and inexpensive take out food. read more

Fresh bread and delis also have hot and cold subs. Been going since 1960s go try it and see it for yourself

I was having a major sandwich craving browsing Uber Eats and came across this gem. Now, I am addicted. Their Italian sub is like NOTHING I could ever get in Phoenix, and I'm slowly beginning to realize that Massachusetts just does Italian better. Their hot peppers (is it a relish? Is it a spread? I don't know and I don't care) are SO delicious. I need to find where this place is in person so I can buy it in bulk. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get my order but it is always FRESH. Crunchy lettuce, soft - not soggy - bread. I may miss my Mexican food, but this sandwich takes the edge off. read more

Threw up right after I ate my turkey sub maybe I'm allergic to something in the sandwich

This is a great little Italian/east coast style deli. They cut the meat and make the sandwiches to order. Simply delicious. I've had both the Italian, the roast beef and cheese, oh the pastrami. Then the dozens they put on. I can only say just Wow! Whenever I come to Boston I've got to give it a try! read more

I moved to the neighborhood a few months ago and as much as I tried to support the local deli, this time just did it over for me. I had to throw away this sandwich because there was such an unreasonable amount of mustard on it, it was inedible. Anyone who puts so much mustard on a sandwich that the bread is literally drenched in it and it is all over the outside of the sandwich and the wrapping and think it's a good idea to let a customer pay for it shouldn't be making sandwiches. I also ask for extra lettuce every time and they seem to do the exact opposite and give me about 3 solid shreds. read more

Best eggplant parm I've ever had in my life. I like to go weekdays before the lunch time rush. I'll pick up a pack of sub rolls (they are delicious, fresh locally made rolls that almost always sell out by later in the day), a pound of cheese, and a pound of eggplant cutlets. OK, usually a bag of chips too. Then I've got lunch for the next five days. Back when I ate meat I used to get Italian subs, meatball, chicken parm etc. and can vouch that they are all amazing too. They also have a fine selection of grocery essentials available. You can't go wrong! read more

Terrible. Just terrible. I will never understand what the hype is. I've given this place a couple of chances and they always disappoint. I ordered an antipasto salad. It was terrible. It was literally a garden salad with salami rolled in cheese and 3 olives. Wheres the rest of the deli meat? Where are my artichokes and mushrooms? Also, the tomatoes pieces were huge! Its like they took a whole tomato and cut it into 4 sections and threw it on the salad. The cheese that was rolled with the salami was the most tasteless cheese ive ever tried in my life. On top of all that, they don't even make their own salad dressing! Ugh. What a disappointment. read more

Best Italian sub around. The catering trays and prepared foods are affordable and delicious. Highly recommend the meatballs!

Great neighborhood place, friendly staff, fresh deli meat, and good prepared foods. A real gem.

Excellent selection of sandwiches and prepared food. The employees are friendly as well as being efficient.

Great local business that has great subs as well as an excellent selection of grocery items. They are our "go to" for their frozen meatballs, as well as for Italian and chicken parm submarine sandwiches. They have many local NE items like chips and ice cream that you don't get in other grocery stores. Highly recommend! read more
