    Muffuletta sandwich
    Agnes A.

    The muffuletta was so good! Everything on the menu sounded delicious but I'm a huge mortadella and olive fan, so this sandwich hit the spot. The cashier was friendly too, and the folks from the back came out to check on their customers. Was a chill place on a rainy day, simple and comfortable setting.

    Still amazing!! Today I ordered the Italian Stallion sandwich which consists of provolone, porchetta, mortadella, salami, roasted red peppers, pepperoncinis, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing. Bread is so soft ~ portions are generous. The staff is so friendly!!!

    Chicken parm
    Mike S.

    My first time in here and I wasn't expecting much, but WOW. Things change! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small old school Italian deli.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. I went with the chicken parm sandwich. It was amazing. Perfectly fried hand battered chicken breast covered in a phenomenal marinara sauce with melted fresh mozzarella on a toasted roll like they're made back east. Each bite just made you want more! It was the perfect lunch. I cant wait to come bacj

    Muffuletta and eggplant/pepper/provolone/tomato sandwiches
    Crystal S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice lunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the muffuletta and eggplant/peppers sandwiches. Both had generous fillings and fresh bread. The eggplant sandwich kept falling apart (a little hard to eat without knife & fork), and was a bit oily. Took home a meat lasagna, which was good (not the best take-home we've had) and on the pricey side for a cold deli case lasagna. A small selection of Italian sundries also for sale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor seating and friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Look at that beautiful mozzarella

    Hands down to the best sandwich I've had in forever my massage therapist (who is around the corner of Paolo's deli) recommended this place and she wasn't wrong when she said this place was top notch. I order the prosciutto mozzarella arugula sandwich, and it was simple but delicious,perfect seasoning and the prosciutto was fresh a so fresh that it got sliced infront of me, they even gave me a complimentary slice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is roomy with plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the staff was friendly and attentive. I think this is one of those sandwiches that you just wake up in the middle of the night and you're like man. I wish I had one of those right now. definitely will be back.

    My chicken and spinach cannelloni was amazing. Soo much flavor. The service was great too. I ordered to go. The staff is very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little cafe with amazing food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It smelled so good inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also bought some pasta to cook later. I will definitely be back to dine in and add some dessert for the perfect finish.

    Mista salad and a half of the turkey, fontina and sun dried tomato sandwich.

    Another awesome lunch at Paolo's! Every time you go in, you are happily greeted by either the owner/Chef (?) or the nice lady behind the cash register. My husband and I always split the mista salad and a sandwich. Today we split the turkey sandwich with fontina and sun-dried tomatoes. Both were off the charts! The mista salad is light and refreshing. I'm not sure what they put in the dressing, but it is amazing! The combination of cool pasta, beans, eggplant, olives and lettuce is delicious. The turkey, fontina, and sun-dried tomato sandwich is also delicious. The sandwich roll is light and very fresh. Plus, I really appreciate how they split the order into individual servings. You leave feeling content but not stuffed. Which to me, means I've had the perfect lunch. We will definitely go back! Again and again....

    I loved this sandwich shop and deli. This is one of the best chicken parm sandwiches and one of the best Italian meatball subs that I have ever had. I couldn't decide which sandwich to get to I got both. Great decision! The service was amazing. It felt like we were eating at someone's home and there was so much love in the food. The ambiance is that of a place in the Italian district of a town. We also got some more food to take home. We will definitely be back !

    Spicy Soppressata and Ham
    Alicia W.

    We aren't usually on this side of town but my husband has really been wanting to try this place, so we finally made a point to come here recently! My husband lived in Italy for a year and was stoked to find an Italian deli here in Reno. He got the Italian Stallion with Porchetta, Salami, and Mortadella. I got the Spicy Soppressata and Ham sandwich. Our friends who came with us got the Chicken Caesar and Chicken Parm sandwiches. All four of us loved our food! The meats are high quality, the bread is delicious, and the sandwiches were packed full of ingredients. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out to us--that made simple sandwiches turn out tasting even better than you'd expect. They have chips, salads, and desserts you can purchase as well. The guy working was super helpful and kind. I watched an elderly man come in to pick up a box of food, and the staff member carried it out to the car for him to help load everything up. The staff member addressed the elderly man and his wife by name, so I'm sure they are regulars. That type of service says a lot about a business and the people who work there! This deli is a hidden gem, my husband said it tastes really similar to delis you'd find in Italy. We will keep this place in mind for future lunches!

    This is a great Italian deli. Everything was fresh. Service was spectacular. It's a hidden little gem and to be honest I don't think there's a bad item on the whole menu. 10/10 I'll definitely be back to try all the sandwiches

Yes, I finally went in with my son. I ordered "The Tab" and it was Phenomenal! Hefty portions of meat and cheese and a perfect ratio of bread and fixins. My son had the Prosciutto Panini and graciously gave me a bite. That WILL be my next order! Fabulous!!! Probably the best potato salad I've had in many years as well. The staff is super helpful and friendly and the speed at which you get your order is pretty fast. The ambience is maybe the best part. Like a quaint Italian eatery with the tables wearing the red and white checkers, with probably the best sports memorabilia I've seen literally covering every square inch of the walls. Good stuff, too! It's funny that my favorite restaurant in Reno is literally across the street (The Four Seasons), and now I have a new favorite Deli. Keep it coming!!! Cheers, JimG

    In Reno for the weekend, my brother sent a text that says MUST EAT HERE.. DONT SKIP THE JALAPENO…read moreCHEESE BREAD! So we ordered!! I used the website and placed the order with ease, we paid and it stated the order would be ready at 2:50 pm. At 2:49 I got a text stating the order was ready. Order Cuban on oregano parm bread Trip tip with blue cheese add mayo, slaw on the side on jalapeno cheese bread. The order was picked up with ease, arrived at the house at 3:45. The sandwiches were much larger than expected, and were still nice and warm. Opened the bag to find each sandwich was wrapped and clearly labeled. The herb flavors were present in the Cuban, the pickles were mighty tasty offsetting the fat, and the vinegar in mustard tied it all together and the warm fresh crusty bread... OHHHHH MYYYYY!!! Greatttttt sandwhich! Jalapeno cheese bread with trip tip was MF FIRE !! I'd never imagine blue cheese and trip tip with jalapeno and spinach. Wowwwww it worked.. let's talk quality... quality aromatic blue cheese with a nice punch to it.. it almost melted into the bread!! The perfectly large chunks of wilted spinach from the heat of the meat, and the breaddddddddddddddd.. salty, slightly spicy from the jalapeno ... WOW NEW FAVORITE!! This sandwhich has me wanting to make some bread and find just the right blue cheese!!! SORRY BUT I DONT LIVE HERE AND HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! Will I return?

While…read morewaiting for our order to be made, I was watching them making sandwiches and burritos diligently , grilling burritos on the panini griller. They had a lot of orders that they were trying to get out, but this one person accidentally put possibly mayo on a sandwich, turned around with the piece of bread in his hand, which I couldn't see what he did with it, but it was kind of wiped off, so I don't know if he scraped it on something, but he did not use a knife in my view to take it off then he took a towel to it, wiped it off and then put it on the grill for 10 seconds and then he put the correct spread on it. Now... What if that person was grossed out by mayo or allergic to something in the mayo. It would've been just as easy to get a fresh roll. That kind of grossed me out. I'm glad it wasn't ours. I have to wonder what that towel was used on. It wasn't a fresh towel. It was crumbled up. That has not sat well with me since I saw that. I think the rating on them (if I was an inspector ) would have been affected. Normally we love that place!

One of my favorite sandwiches is the French dip on their Swiss and onion bread.. the beef is tender and not super fatty. The au ju is flavorful, not too salty and doesn't leave some coat of something on your tongue.. the swiss/onion bread works so so well with everything.. the flavor of the Swiss cheese goes well with the au ju. We've had a few different sandwiches. my fiancée loved the meatloaf one and we both love the recent weekly specials.. This week is the chicken curry salad sandwich and last week was the Carolina pulled pork.. I lost my mind with that one.. so so flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it. I forgot it was a weekly special and we got it on the last day. So so sad.. wish it was a regular on the menu.. They have a list of sandwiches but you can also make your own and choose which bread you want on any of them. The thing I love about them is you can order a half sandwich. Sometimes a full sandwich is a little too much and other times you just want a lite meal.. Cant wait to swe their next weekly special.
