    Sicilian panettone is exquisite! Makes the perfect host/hostess gift!
    Nina C.

    I can't love this place enough. Family owned for years by lovely, friendly, helpful people, a neighborhood staple. It's a great place to indulge yourself in all things you've grown up with if you are Sicilian or Italian, treats and everyday items, and it's THE perfect place to indulge your inner Italian. Their deli selections, from cheese to meats to olives and other homemade antipasti, are always top rate. It's a great place to stop in for a sub sandwich, too. Homemade cookies, bocconcini (fresh mozzarella!), and the occasional pizza bread - you cannot go wrong in this place. They have a great selection of housewares from espresso machines to pasta makers, dishes, etc. Prices are reasonable, and it always feels great to patronize local family-owned stores. Great gift ideas from imported goods to soccer jerseys and onesies. You can feel how much love and attention this family puts into their store and their customers. Excellent quality and variety. It's also awesome to hear the Italian language being spoken by the patrons and staff!

    Italian Beef w/ hot peppers
    Jose C.

    I've always enjoyed walking into Italian delis. The owners are always smiling and very friendly. I ordered their Italian beef and I gotta say it was definitely different, yet still tasty. Not even close to top 5 beefs in Chicago but didn't leave disappointed. I took the beef to go, there weren't any tables. He used a loaf of bread that he had out on the aisle and prepared the beef with hot peppers. I decided not to order it dipped for the first time, which was ok because they're fresh bread added a different unique taste to it. I'd probably come back, but I wouldn't order the beef. Perhaps an Italian or meatball instead.

    It's amazing place to pick up fresh and delicious Italian food. I'm glad we stopped by today, signature subs get an A+ from us . If you are in the neighborhood make this your top place to visit and get delicious food.

The employee initially asked if we were doing two transactions, which I had no issue with and understood. However, after I completed the first transaction, she questioned whether I had paid for my orange juice, even though it had already been included in my purchase. She then asked to see my receipt and snatched it out of my hand, which felt very disrespectful. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that she was only paying close attention to us the entire time. There were several other WHITE customers using self-checkout at the same time, and she did not ask to see any of their receipts or question whether they had paid for their items. My sister and I are both young-looking and have a brown appearance, and the clear difference in how we were treated compared to other customers made us feel racially profiled and singled out because of our age and appearance. I understand employees have a job to do and may need to verify purchases, but that should be done fairly and respectfully with all customers. This experience made us feel unwelcome, and I hope management takes this seriously and ensures customers are treated equally going forward.

He then told me, "you people are not welcome here." This was blatant racial profiling. Instead of treating me with respect as a customer, I was humiliated, judged unfairly, and made to feel unwelcome because of my race. I left the store feeling deeply hurt and shocked that this could happen in 2025. No customer should ever be treated this way. For a manager to behave like this makes it even more disturbing. Businesses should be safe, welcoming spaces for everyone, and this type of discrimination cannot be ignored. I am sharing my experience to warn others and to urge corporate to hold this location accountable.

Today, I did not find what I needed so I will have to try again tomorrow. This store has a nice variety of items for the value and it's a "sister" store of TJ's for those who don't know. The store offers self-checkout which is quick and the shelves are pretty well stocked with many different items especially now for the holidays. Update: Went to the Niles location and found the items I needed. Aldi has the best European dark and milk chocolate which are made in Germany, Rainforest Alliance Certified. Milka chocolate is another brand that sometimes you can find at Aldi but other stores like World Market or Fresh Farms store in Chicago has many times from this brand.
