There is an array of both hot/cold items & an aroma that will catch anyone's attention as soon as the doople is open. The ONLY downside is that there is just one location. I no longer live/work close to them, and I wish that they would expand to my direction. However, they work very hard to make sure that we all leave w a smile on our face and are very satisfied with the service/food that we received. They deserve a 5 review!

Italian sandwiches and subs are still pretty new to me. Sure, the area is filled with delis that…read morewill make you all kinds of cold cut sandwiches to order. Perhaps I was paralyzed by all the possibilities. To make a long story short, I'm triangulating my way towards a favorite cold cut sub. At this point I know that it's not the standard "Italian Mix". I've learned to ask for the "fatty cappy" which gets you actual capicola instead of the weird spicy ham that Boar's Head makes. It's a tragedy that so many of our best delis rely on this national supplier of processed meats and cheeses. Also specifying sharp provolone is the only way to make sure you'll get a cheese on your sandwich that can stand up to the flavor of the cured meats. Nino's had both of these, and sliced them to order. Sandwiches also need to have shredded iceberg lettuce, onion, oil, and vinegar in order to cut through some of that fat. Nino's delivered on these too. And that's important because some delis have moved over to fancier leaf lettuce that just gets lost in all of that meat and cheese. I think my sandwich may also need something else, but I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe some other meat to round out the cappy, like perhaps a prosciutto. I'm not sure. But I can't blame Nino's while I figure that out. Soon, I will learn to stop asking for those sad round reddish slices that pass for tomatoes. And thanks to Nino's for reminding me. It's a hard lesson, but an important one. The bread was good for coalescing around the sandwich and letting the fillings be the star of the show. I got mine on a roll. But I think these Italian sandwiches really require commitment. My goal was to be moderate, however this breed of sandwich seems to be a go big or go home kind of experience. Overall, Nino's feels more like a 3.5* Capital Region deli, but I'm bumping it up for being an old school holdout on this deeply commercialized strip of Central Avenue. It's a deli attached to a bread bakery. They have great old sausage making equipment, and a counter where you can stand and eat your sandwich overlooking the gridlock of cars trying to navigate an especially congested part of the local thoroughfare. Although I can imagine that not everyone would be as thoroughly charmed by the joint.

We used Genoa to cater our Christmas Eve celebration this year. I stopped in about 2 weeks before…read morethe date and they were so friendly and accommodating. I ordered 1/2 trays of everything for our group of 13 and we had more than enough food. Our dishes were Penne with Vodka Sauce, Meatballs with Marinara along with more penne in sauce, Chicken Marsala and Antipasto. The Chicken was absolutely delicious with lots of mushrooms and flavorful sauce. The meatballs were enormous and more importantly tasty. The only dish I wasn't entirely pleased with was the antipasto. I was envisioning whole chunks of cheese, olives, peppers and rolled cold cuts. Instead it was finely chopped cold cuts and American cheese on a bed of oily greens with a few pickled vegetables. Alas, I don't have any pictures! I didn't think to take any with all the festivities. I would definitely use them again for my catering/party needs.

As far as good subs go, these guys seem to know what they're doing. The Italian mix sub was…read moreeffortlessly tasty although it costs about $4 more than my favourite Italian sub in the region and also not as big. The shop was bustling and they had a good constant for traffic mostly ordering subs (hot and cold). The takeaway stuff (pictured) looked increasing so I might try some next time. They have private parking so that wasn't an issue. We'll be back.
