They have a number of different subs or sandwiches to choose from. The deli guys are friendly. I got the turkey on a croissant with Swiss tomato and lettuce. It really hit the spot. The meats were so fresh. I might even skip exploring another restaurant and going back!

There is very little that makes me happier than a perfectly constructed sandwich. I was downright…read moregiddy eating this pastrami sandwich (which was beautiful, too, and sadly I did not snap a picture because I was too excited to eat it! It did not disappoint). Love this no-frills deli with the focus on what's important- amazing bread in perfectly balanced sandwich (and yes, for me that means not a TON of meat but it was satisfying and not meat-heavy. I thought the ratio of bread/cheese/meat was just right). Gino's also has a lot of pasta salad options (I've heard good things about both the Cajun chicken pasta salad and the pesto chicken salad but literally just made two pasta salads for this weekend so I'll have to try those next time). They also have ingredients for pizza in the fridge and pre-made lasagnas, pizzas, and desserts (Tiramisu!!!). It also sounds like they sometimes sell cannoli fresh, made-to-order. Great hidden gem, definitely check it out. I will say, I also got the Italian sub and I was less impressed with the meat/bread/cheese ratio (not enough meat, too much cheese) but that pestrami was chef's kiss. Also we saw a worker on break when we arrived and he was eating the meatball sub-looked incredible but we didn't try it this time (we were eating on the go and that can be tricky with meatballs!)

Only a few options in Madison for a deli so I have to show Gino's some love.

The store is small with a refrigerated section, a deli counter and some shelves that house a selection of dried goods, olive oils, seasonings, etc. It is not a deli that you would find in a larger city but you gotta take what you can get.

The place is small and the day we were there a woman came in with a stroller. They clearly have a no stroller sign on the door and the owner came over and tried to politely ask her to keep the stroller out of the way so that people would be able to get through once she had ordered. He did not kick her out or ask her to do anything obscene just to make sure there was space for others. She berated him and told him that he wouldn't ask this if it was a person in a wheelchair. When advised it wasn't the same she told him her baby couldn't walk. The owner remained calm and tried to be reasonable but this woman was abusive towards him. She asked how he could do this to such a marginalized person and then turned to the restaurant and asked why any of us men weren't going to stand up for her. I noted that they had a stroller policy and she said "f*ck the policy" as she stormed out.

I would also recommend taking it to go on a weekend because it's hard to find seating. They are still super fast, friendly, and helpful despite the overwhelming amount of people! On a weekday you can appreciate the New York-esque decor and vibe.

They also make sandwiches from their deli meats which I have not tried. Their meat counter is well stocked with excellent cuts of steak, pork and chicken that you cannot get at most grocery stores and the prices reflect that quality. They also have some groceries and items you might find at many convenience stores. It is great to have this resource just down the road from us.

Bread was served with olive oil and a healthy serving of tasty parmesan cheese. The olive oil had a robust flavor to it, but I thought it tasted a little too strong. I like the balanced taste of the oil I use at home. For my main, I had the rigatoni with Sunday gravy. The dish was a meaty and hearty. I would've liked it better if the meatiness was balanced with a sweet tomato taste and a little spice. Fabiola's is like the Trader Joe's of restaurants.
