I stopped here recently after an appointment. I wasn't familiar with the area and I needed something to eat quickly, so I took a chance. I was hopeful when I saw the stocked shelves with specialty foods and the fridges and freezers. They have some good choices, although not tons of inventory. It definitely reads like a sideline business to the counter in the back. I got myself a tuna sub. That was good and the bread was excellent. I also brought home a couple slices of veggie lasagna for dinner. BF liked it better than I did there. The veggies were plentiful, but a touch beyond al dente, verging on just raw. The "sauce" was just peeled tomatoes. Not my style. It did have some flavor. As for service - the woman working the deli counter was nice once I got up there, but the younger man who checked me out said nothing at any point. The whole experience left me feeling like it was just basic and blah. read more

Gino's Italian Deli - Delis Near Me - Middleton, Wisconsin

Great olives and salads. Why do they close at 5 pm? Why not 6 pm? People get off work at 5 pm.

Went there on October 8th at 3:00 pm. I reached behind the spaghetti sauce in the front to get one with a later expiration date. Girl at cash register immediately snapped at me" what are you doing "? I told her I got a later dated spaghetti sauce. She then threw my change at me and stormed off to the back of the coolers to inspect the sauces. Apparently I was supposed to take one that was to expire immediately. Management needs to have a talk with that young lady. read more

The sandwiches were delicious and the process was smooth. The atmosphere was friendly and pleasant.

New location (for me). Have not been here (or in Madison for years. Thought I would stop in and the food is as good as I remember.

Great prepared deli counter items. I especially enjoy a particular pasta salad. Can't be certain if I'm correct, but I think it is a Cajun inspired salad. I've ordered it several times and it's consistently made. The lasagna too is very good, though in truth, after about 5-6 inside a years time, I wasn't as excited as the first few. I wouldn't say that's an issue of the quality, more just a flavor I didn't desire as much. But the pasta aspect was and remains a strong favorite. Good sandwich's as well. read more

Delicious food and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our time/ambiance of the place during lunch. We will be back!:-)

I always enjoyed their food but they close at 5:00 pm. What restaurant closes at 5:00 pm when many people are just getting off work ? If you can order before they close you will also find that their customer has gone way down. So sad as this was a top restaurant in the past. read more

I was just getting some gas and started to look in gps for places to eat then I look over and and saw the cute hometown looking and simple name, you just know it's gotta be killer food and with all the cars in the parking was so full. The smell instantly takes you away, ordered two large sandwiches on the artisan bread and the guy was so polite and accommodating and once I took my first bit OMG!!!!! Phenomenal mind blowing way better than what I imagined! I could taste every ingredient perfectly I was making mmmhhh mmmhh sounds with every bit and the after taste just so satisfying!!! Love this place definitely recommend it and I will continue to always come back and try something new!!!! read more

They need to work on their customer service. No one said thank you or even smiled when I went in to buy 2 lasagna dinners. This is what I see every time I go into the deli. Too bad because the food is so good. read more

We come for two things, both to go. Spicy Capicola Sub and the take home (cold) meat lasagna from the cooler. The sandwiches are inexpensive and they get a lively lunch crowd. Chips and soda other hot and cold stuff too. Lasagna takes about 90 minutes to cook but is an easy way to feed the family. The bigger one is an easy way to feed a crowd Bring cash for a discount. read more

My SO and I stopped by here for the first time yesterday. We had an Italian Sub and the Spaghetti with meatballs. Both were classically delicious filled with simple, yet fantastic Italian flavors. I definitely recommend Gino's if you're looking for a quick Italian meal at a reasonable price. read more

Some of the best lasagna around is available to bake at home from their refrigerator section. Strongly recommend it.

Well, I have had mixed experiences at Gino's overall. Sunday I went to the one in Middleton for the first time. Now I grew up in New Jersey just outside of NYC and what they call delis here are a far cry from the "real thing" but I give them props for trying. When I went in there were a few people in line and three very young people behind the counter. None of them seemed engaged whatsoever and when the couple in front of me asked a question the girl just pointed at something. The couple seemed taken aback. While I was waiting I am looking in the messy and disorganized case to see a package of Jenni-O turkey and a package of grocery store cheese slices. So after being ignored for a few minutes she looks at me and I told her what I wanted. I then grabbed a couple salads and a loaf of bread. The salad comes with two dressings, however they were short in the cooler but had a larger one so I asked if I could grab one big instead of four small. The kid (wearing a Budweiser shirt but I'm sure not even old enough to drink) says no and then "I guess I could go make some up". Gee, thanks, that would be great if you could take a moment to pour some dressing into a cup. Gino's offers a cash discount but I had to ask for it as I handed him cash. He didn't say a word . So my in-store experience was less than desirable. However, that being said their vegetable lasagna is the bomb! Best I've come across. The salad and bread were good too. The food is really good. They service and ambience could use some work. read more

I've eaten at Gino's for many years and love their food. I want to continue to eat there but probably will stop due to there employees never changing there gloves. They make your food and take your money wearing the same gloves than go back to making more sandwiches. Completely grosses me out. Money is filthy especially when they dig for change. Sorry. Food is great but this practice is disgusting. Gloves are cheap. Replace often especially when handling read more

Love this place - never a disappointment. My favorites are the meatball sub and the lasagne. Have gotten food here probably 5 times at least and it's always great. read more

This is my go to place for the best lasagna in town. If you call ahead they will even cook it for you. In addition, they have a decent selection of pre-made pastas and sandwiches to order behind their deli counter. If you have a quick need for garlic bread, sauce, or certain italian staples there is decent chance they have at least one option, but don't expect 10 varieties of olive oil, or the offerings of a full grocery or deli. The staff is nice and helpful. They also don't take amex so bring your visa. read more

This place is a gem!! Everything I've gotten here is amazing from their soups to their meatballs(which truly taste like my Italian grandmother made them)! Anything you order there is amazing. The prices are great and there is something for everyone! Trust me as someone who lived in Italy they are doing it right here! read more

Awesome place.... Best kept Italian secret!! Ran in here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised food was awesome, staff was super friendly and helpful for us newbies!! Thanks!!! read more

Great Deli, but an Italian Grocery it is not (as sign and listing claims). They have little inventory, and nothing that isn't available at most grocery stores. read more

I stopped making my own lasagna after coming here! Their lasagna (both meat and veggie) comes in pans for home or you can get a slice and eat it there. The owner and his staff are always very friendly. Gino's is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch. read more

My family has never eaten at Gino's but after craving lasagna, we gave it a go. The result: EXCELLENCE! The lasagna and garlic bread were probably the best we've ever had (Sorry Mom!). We're looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu. Thanks Gino's! read more

This is one of our go-to spots for lunch during the work day! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Delicious lasagna, subs, pasta salads and more! Went there for lunch today and had their ravioli with meat sauce - YUM! You can grab something on the go or eat in. The best part is that you can get the larger lasagna to bring home and put it in the oven for dinner! Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful as well! read more

I have only been here when I had half an hour or so for lunch and craved some warm, hearty food. Their dishes are yummy, ready quickly, and served hot! Prices are decent, as well, and their little eating area is cute and convenient. read more

Gino's French Dip with Provolone dipped in Au Jus with Sweet Peppers is the best! Highly recommended!

Food is mostly good, but the staff were all about themselves. More interested in their personal lives than serving the customers. The lasagna is good, but quite over priced. At least at fast food, the service staff are well trained and polite. read more

Great place to grab a fresh, homemade deli sub to go (we took them for a picnic lunch at Wollersheim winery on our way out of Madison). And while you're at it, pick up gourmet ingredients for dinner! What a treat. Will return for sure. read more

Every time we visit family, the lasagna is a must have. No need to ever make your own when Gino's is available.

Great lasagna and the employees are really nice. I am definitely going back to try the sandwiches and salads.
