    The best sandwiches in town!! I especially love the breakfast rueben. Everything is made to order and is fresh and delicious. Service is great. You can sit in the small dining area or take it to go. There are two locations right now (Detroit & Farmington) and both are wonderful!

    Big sandwichs, good mayo, hot bread. I eat 2x a day and it got me through 1.5 meals. Mayo + lettuce always = . I got the Turkey Bella and even though i don't like bacon, it was still good. Just enough bacon to give a crunch and a savory flavor. Heads up, not a place if you want actual Italian style sandwiches, it is quintessentially American but on focaccia bread. Patient staff, doesn't take too long to get your food. Cute little shop.

    I like their Farmington location so I came here and had lunch while I was in the area. It is different. Same ingredient, same menu but my sandwich is hastily made. Herb aoli is not evenly spread. Bacon was one strip. Also don't get the coffee either. $4 for a little cup. If u work nearby or live nearby. This is still a good place to get a sandwich

    Great little place 3 blocks from campus martius. Fair priced italian sandwiches. Quick pleasant service from a delightful Austrailian women and Gent behind the counter.

    Papa Georgio

    I got a Papa Georgio sandwich and tomato soup delivered for lunch and the flavors were great! The focaccia bread tastes fresh and soft with a crispier outer edge. The sandwich toppings are delicious, the caramelized onions and pesto really made the sandwich. Add the balsamic! I was disappointed that most of the toppings were in the center of the sandwich and gone within the first few bites, leaving the outer edge of the sandwich with little to no toppings, just bread. Thankfully I got soup, so I was able to dip the bread. They also did not cut the sandwich in half, not sure if that's how they do it there, but it's quite large so I cut it myself. The soup is extremely flavorful and garlicky - yum! Overall I would definitely eat here again. Since my food was delivered I can't speak on service or ambiance.

    Love La Pecora Nera! Staff is super friendly, delivery for our catering was right on time, and food was fresh and delicious. Everything smelled so good upon arrival to the office. I love that the sandwiches were wrapped and labeled with the numbers - I could just print out the menu so people could reference which sandwich to choose. The meats, cheeses, dressings and veggies were very fresh, and the grilled sandwiches were still warm. I love the sundried tomatoes on the antipasti salad, and the guac for the chicken salad was freshly made. With a good variety of different sandwiches, everyone got to have something that they like, and they have 2 vegetarian options. You could also keep it easy and order all the same sandwiches. Will for sure make this a frequent catering choice.

    Fantastic Italian deli. The fresh bread made the whole sandwich and the Great Lakes chips were the perfect side. $19 for a meal this good is well worth it.

    Overall so cute in here!!! Outdoor space covered, chairs out on the sidewalk where the city trees provide some shade. Indoor seating available. The music is old school and I was greeted with a smile and when my food was ready, I am excited to eat; as it was made with love. The service was outstanding. I got the Michelangelo! It's a hot Sammy. Haven't tried it yet but I'll update. Priced decent. Offers breakfast, lunch and sides. I've posted the menu. Enjoy and give this place a try, Walking or street parking. No reservation needed.

    This place is amazing! I ordered the corned beef sandwich and all of the ingredients were very fresh. The portion sizes are large and the service was quick. They have many different authentic Italian options on the menu. I will definitely be back to try more!

    My family and I came here after exploring Detroit and it exceeded our expectations. The service was incredible. Daniel and Jermaine were so nice and helped us pick the best sandwiches. Can't recommend this place enough! We had the turkey Bella, papa georgio, intaliano, and prosciutto panino, and they were all delicious.

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious.

Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

I ordered the Italiano - Genoa salami, fire roasted ham, pistachio mortadella, capicola, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, on fresh focaccia bread.

They have a menu board with multiple options listed. You order at the stand at the back of the store, and then our food was brought out to us even though we had ordered it to go. I am not sure if that is always the process- I was expecting to go to the counter to pick it up myself so that was a nice surprise! We ordered our sandwiches to go even though we were dining in as we knew we would be taking home leftovers. The seating area inside is no frills. They have less than 10 tables inside, and when we were leaving all of them were full with people waiting for seats. They did appear to have 2 tables outside but they were not being used as it was raining. They did have a carafe full of ice water that was self serve by the door, and they had large cups available which I appreciated! My eyes were immediately drawn to the Spicy Chicken Caesar and the Napa Club. Since this was my first time I ordered both and planned to share half of each sandwich. When I opened the Spicy Chicken Caesar I was surprised by the appearance of it. I had expected a lot more lettuce inside. It looked more like chicken salad rather than salad with chicken. The flavor was good and it was not too spicy! The focaccia was very soft. The Napa Club had great flavor to it, but when I was eating it I could really tell that there was avocado inside of it. The predominant flavor was the garlic and herb aioli. I did feel the chicken was a touch on the dry side. Overall, my experience and food were good; however, I am not sure I agree with the rave reviews. I would return in the future and would love to try some of their other meats aside from chicken, and their pasta salad also looked nice. The service was friendly and I feel like the price was fair. It's a nice addition to downtown Farmington!

    While cruising through the heart of Royal Oak, I noticed this little deli shop, calling my name…read morepast apartment buildings and local scenery. They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

I also ordered the deviled eggs but was sad to see them tossed in the bag upside down; very messy and hard to eat they had a nice sweet flavor. The main problem is the cleanliness or lack thereof. It could use a deep deep cleaning. Also there are people hustling to get your dollars. A guy was selling one stick of incense for $5. Not sure if I will go back but I might want to try the corned beef egg rolls.
