T.G.I.F.!!!! After getting out of work surprisingly early, it became imperative that a visit to the Bronx's BEST deli was successful. My brother-in- law usually is the fortunate family member to grab weekly delicacies, so today was triumphant!!! Busy as usual, the store immediately makes your mouth water. Are you craving extremely RARE roast beef? Hot foods prepared daily...I couldn't help but order a few delicious potato croquettes....how could I completely forget those amazing rice balls? Their fresh mozzarella is addictive, homemade pasta is an art here, seriously! I had to quickly take a few pictures to enlighten fellow Yelpers before my niece and nephew devoured everything, btw. read more

See all

This is truly the best deli in the neighborhood. And there are so many to choose from. But this one is special. The fresh mozzarella is phenomenal! So creamy & smooth a must buy. The fresh ravioli are definitely my go to if I don't feel like cooking. Don't worry they got the sauce too to take home just ask! Do yourself a favor load up the wallet or make room on the credit card & go get yourself some sandwiches & some fresh mozzarella. You'll thank me later. read more

I like the chicken cutlet sandwich, but it didn't taste particularly special. I liked how the mozzarella was gooey and made fresh, and I liked the simple combination of ingredients, but it's definitely comfort food rather than a memorable experience for the taste buds. I've also tried the Italian combo sandwich, which was too salty for my taste. read more

Died and went to heaven! Family owned and run. My first time there & everyone is treated me as I had been a regular. 35 years in operation. Homemade Mozzarella & Pasta is THE BEST!! Cherry on top, CASH ONLY!! read more

I'm a bread snob and I feel, no matter how good the sandwich hopes to be, if the bread isnt good, the sandwich isnt either!! That has NEVER been the case here at G&R. The bread is ALWAYS so amazing, and the food/meats/cold cuts are always fresh! This is definitely my go to spot for sandwiches!!! read more

Nothing beats it in the boro, save yourself a trip to Arthur Ave, imported delicacies, fresh homemade Mozzarella from heaven, Roast beef, Roast pork, Roast Turkey, imported Prosciutto, everything is remarkable, fresh sausage, hot food to die for read more

Ownership has changed and the sandwich artistry has been compromised. I miss the days of Richie; this man was an angel.

So we were in the area again and we decided to go to taste their Chicken G&R sandwich which is breaded chicken, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers. We needed a taste test so we can put in our order for Super Bowl. Anyway OMG the sandwich almost got a lady ran over. Hubby was enjoying his sandwich way to much that he did not notice this lady crossing the street when the light turned green. Thank God I noticed and he broke. So we will definitely be putting in our order for Super Bowl read more

Love love their Prosciutto I had a provolone honey glazed turkey and prosciutto on a sesame roll with tomatoes and thinly sliced onions it was perfect, perfect cut perfect amount and wonderful taste can't wait to go back to add pictures read more

HANDS DOWN THE BEST PROSCIUTTO and FRESH MOZZARELLA Sandwich I have ever had. The prosciutto was sliced so perfectly thin and the fresh mozz was delicious. Unfortunately I live in California and can't eat these sandwiches every day. read more

Authentic food - there aren't too many places like this. One of the best - food is always fresh and staff always welcoming.

Chicken parmigiana Hero to die for .Melts in your mouth.Everythings good here and they make pasta.Fresh mozzarella and the works.

Had tuna fish sandwiches, puke and #2 within an hour all day, please be careful consuming unless you want pay visit to pharmacy, management should investigate weather staff wash hands or use gloves, horrible feeling and experience, most likely stay away from it read more

THE go-to place for everything italian. fresh sausages, mozzurreellla ! , chicken and eggplant parm, homemade pasta and meatballs from scratch. it doesnt hurt that its right around the corner from where i work and my 3x a week lunch spot. (i'd go there more often if it didn't mean more crunches at the gym) service is top notch and you get to know the familiar faces after a couple visits. i'd give it 5 stars but its cash only and they don't deliver. read more

3 out of 3 Italian octogenarians can't be wrong. I work at the hospital near by and occasionally do research studies on the local elderly. One day three silver haired gentlemen swore to me the only reason they even bother to come down was so they can get the sandwiches at this deli after, so I decided to swing by for a try. Great mozzarella! I had the prosciutto, mozarella and roasted peppers on a roll, soft, moist, savory, salty. Can't complain! read more

I am not Italian, but I could tell that this place exuded Italian authenticity. The kissing of the cheeks with the customers- the owner knew all the customers, definitely a neighborhood deli. This place may be small, but it is packed with just as much stuff as the delis on Arthur ave. I ordered some roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and a baguette for the makings of my own sandwich. The peppers were swimming in flavorful oil with plenty of garlic. So delicious! Needless to say, I made a pretty darn good sandwich. read more

Best deli in the Bronx! Food is always fresh! There is usually a line filled with regulars. Never let that dissuade you, it's all worth it! And the workers are awesome!!! Follow them on IG! read more

I live on the same block as this deli for about four years now. I am originally from Long Island and an expert on delis. If you are in the Bronx and you do not stop by here and at least get a sandwich, your life is incomplete. Whether it's been my parents, my boyfriend, friend, coworker, neighbor, or my very own children, I have put more people on to this deli than I can remember. The food is 100% the best you will ever have from any Italian deli. No need to go to Arthur Avenue or Little Italy. This is the best hot and cold food there is. I get my bacon egg and cheeses and bacon lettuce and tomato here and one time my order got mixed up and I had a bacon egg and cheese and a BLT basically combined. Even that was heaven. However, my personal favorite is a chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers. I dare you to find a better sandwich. read more

Have been using this deli for over 30 years. My cousin Jean (who just passed away in March) and an Italian from the Bronx used this deli with her mother for at least 60 years! They have catered over 50 events with their home made pastas, cheeses and sausages! Even though I know live on Long Island, it is worth a trip to the Bronx for my Italian specialties!

Chicken cutlet sandwich with fresh mozzarella was pretty good. Wedge of locatelli was okay.. Same price and quality though could find many other places. read more

An authentic Italian deli. I go for sandwiches but i cant leave without some marinated mozzarella balls. They have a great selection of cheese as well. read more

One of the best italian delis in a neighborhood full of italians and italian food shops. G&R has excellent meats and cheeses and also stocks some of the more difficult to find imported items, all at pretty reasonable prices. Also, the fresh ravioli & pastas they have are of such quality that I often do not bother with Arthur Avenue's Fresh Pasta stores anymore. G&R is both more convenient, cheaper and has a quality that is high enough to make it a solid choice, especially just before holidays when places on Arthur get insane. read more

Liked their sandwiches they are absolutely tasty! Actually as for me it's enough for 5 stars. But their buffet is an excellent too. Great staffs. Recommend. read more

One of the last good Italian ( old school ) deli's around! Good HOT food & great assortment of cold cuts.

The best. Wonderful food, nice people, amazing value. The cooked foods are better than anything on Arthur Avenue. You want Italian Buratta? No problem. You want real Buffalo Mozzarellla? No problem. Aged cheeses? No problem. Fresh pasta? No problem. The best home made Italian food? No problem The prices? Insanely reasonable. Do not miss this gem. read more

G & R Deli, is the best in the Bronx. A must go to. The food is fresh, great quality and real Italian food. The catering, a sandwich, whatever you get there you will love. I am a foodie and a real Italian and truly only appreciate the best food. G&R Deli has the best. I am a former Bronxite and stil go out of my way to go to G&R. Tony one of the owners is a great, friendly, nice guy. Its nice when a great place has great service as well. read more

Favorite deli around! I get the tuna sandwich at least once a week, maybe 2x and it's the best homemade tuna...fresh & tasty. It's not that cheap fish like other places. I will keep on being a customer! The fresh mozzarella is made daily & the hot food selection is to die for! Great variety of foods & I highly recommend this deli to friends and family! read more

Great Sandwiches, I mean hands down the best In town. Been coming here for 15 years these guys don't play around. Great to have a real Italian deli still in the neighborhood. read more

Just ate here moments ago and oh my gosh it was the most Amazing Italian Hero I have ever had. I was born and raised in the Bronx and can't believe I've never been here. I will definitely be back whenever I'm near Pelham Parkway. All meats are imported from Italy and cheeses are made in house read more

My number 1 deli, cold cuts always fresh, ravioli, mozzerella, bread. Friendly staff, good food. read more

The food is very good, but it is a shame that the service is really bad. One particular worker appeared not to want to serve me. And on my final visit, the same employee speaking to another patron made homophobic slurs. read more

G&R is the Morris Park deli standard. When people want Italian cold cuts, cheeses, bread or pasta, there is really only one place to go that we all look at each other and know its going to be good. Like 1960s, old school, your grandparents would buy this, good. The sandwiches are what they should be, loaded with cold cuts, and fresh beyond belief. The homemade sausage is the best in the Bronx. The pasta is authentic, love their cavatelli. Really not much else to say, go to G&R if you love Italian delis. read more

cannot get a bad anything at g+r deli... top 10 joints in the bronx. sausage pasta heros hot food etc.. just great. dont change anything! fugettaboutit. read more

This place is the definition of a hidden gem. From the outside, this small unassuming storefront is easy to miss. In fact, I only ended up there because I was across the street at the bank and needed a to grab sandwich fast. But inside you will find an Italian deli that rivals any I've been to in the North End (grew up outside Boston). Inside the door you will commonly see leak customers who are on a first name basis with the owner and employees, and as soon as you taste the food, you'll understand why. Although they have some hot entree items, I've never ventured past the Italian sub, and for good reason. The salami, prosciutto, and mozzarella are simply beautiful cuts. The bread is amazing. The marinated peppers are spot on if you like marinated peppers. They give you generous portions resulting in a sandwich substantial enough for 1.5 or 2 meals depending on your appetite. And it's only 9 bucks. So get an amazing lunch, treat your hangover or impress out-of-town friends with your discovery of this place that no one (on yelp) seems to know about. Cash only, but there are two ATMs on the same block. No seating in deli, so have a plan on where you are going to eat this special food. read more

Probably the best deli in the Bronx. However I wouldn't wanna get in over my head as the mighty Arthur Ave. is still a tough competitor. But besides that you're not gonna get any better as far as authentic Italian delicacies outside that realm. Many years ago me and my friend were walking home when we passed by this famous deli. All of a sudden he pointed it out and exclaimed "This place makes the best heroes". I questioned his statement as it was so random and he went on to say that if I didn't believe him we could go there the following Friday. I took him up on his challenge and that Friday we went and I was introduced to most savory, tasty hero I ever had. Though the place looks like a hole in the wall do NOT be fooled for once you walk in your bombarded with all things Italian; cured sausage and other meats hanging from the ceiling, a variety of different jarred and canned products all imported from Italy, pre-cooked and uncooked selections such as rice balls, salads, fresh mozzarella, pasta and of course, OF COURSE arguably the best authentic cold cuts money could ever buy!! Granted you could go in and get your usual hero with ham and american cheese BUT if your a guy who's particular about his sandwiches and value top notch cold cuts definitely order Italian! You can never go wrong with such classic favorites as capacolla, sopresatta,prosciutto, and mortadella, Sorry salami but you're gonna have to take a back seat to these fellas. A hero with some hot capacolla, fontanella cheese and sun dried tomatoes and your day is officially complete!! For all of you out of towners please make the trip because it will be worth your while. These guys have been in the business for well over 30 years so if its one thing they know its quality!! read more

If you're looking for an authentic Italian deli with authentic local flavor, this is the spot. They have everything you would want from such a place. They make great sandwiches. They sometimes have on offer some really excellent octopus salad. Their Scamorza, which they make in-house, is truly excellent. The only drawback is that the place is very small, and there is sometimes a bit of a long wait for service, because it's a popular spot among the locals. read more

Waiting on the long slow line a mouse jumps over my shoe! Walked right out and will never ever buy anything from them again.

This is a great Italian Deli. They make awesome tuna salad. Prepared food is always good. Sandwiches are very good, excellent cold cuts on good bread and very inexpensive compared to Arthur Avenue. If you can , order ahead, then you get to skip the line and go right to the back.! read more

Hidden gem? If you like old men who lear at women and gossip behind the counter, act like they are doing you a favor to wait on you, flies on the food on the counter, and salads soaked in enough oil to Fry ten pounds of cutlets, then this is the joint for you obviously . Those of you that rave about this place obviously missed Mickey mouses appearance at lunch time when he came out to perform for the customers. Filthy gross place. read more

I'm italian, and it's a real italian food shoop and the owners are nice and kind with everbody. I found "fette biscottate" and "nutella" for my breakfast...I'm glad...thanks G&R deli!!! read more
