I had been to the other location and wanted my family to give them a try. So it only made sense that we stop at the original location. We stopped here on the way to the airport and were immediately amazed with the customer service. John and Brady were phenomenal. We ordered the small Italian club with Chicken cutlet and the Vittorio. We also got a large Muffaletta with the olive salad on the side, pesto chips, mixed pickled veggies salad and a cannoli. We wanted to change since we were going to the airport so we had to use the restroom. That's where we encountered John. He is such a lovely man. He was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. My sister was throughly impressed with Brady's customer service. He made her feel at home and was very friendly. All of our food was good. They devoured the veggie salad on the car ride to the airport and we ate some of the sandwiches too. The portions are big and you can share. The 3 sandwiches we got were plenty for our family of 6 plus leftovers. Rossi Rosticceria Deli 45 S Clover St Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (Review 50 in 2025 and 893 overall) read more

I work in town every now and then. On a cold Friday afternoon, I found this spot after a quick Yelp search. It is located on a back street with not much activity, and I was able to find parking quickly, which is key when you are on a work break. As soon as I walked in, the smells and sights of an authentic Italian deli were exactly what you hope for. There is a menu with plenty to choose from and a pastry case that I already know I will be coming back to try next time. I went with the Blue Ribbon panini, and in about ten minutes I had a hefty sandwich wrapped and ready to go. When I sat down to eat and picked it up, it did not disappoint. Chicken cutlet, ham, honey mustard, roasted tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and great bread. Everything blended together perfectly. On the first bite, the chicken cutlet burned my mouth in the best way possible. The tomatoes and honey mustard tied it all together and made it incredibly satisfying. I could only eat half because it was such a heavy sandwich. My dad finished the other half and shared the same appreciation for a really good panini. The next time I am working nearby, I know exactly where I am going, and I will definitely be trying the cannoli and the black and white cookies. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

They are truly over-the-top amazing! Our daughter recently got married and we wanted authentic Italian food for the festivities. Our wedding coordinator, Heather Kinkade Post (Founder & Director of Events & Strategic Partnerships at Heather Kinkade Inc.) highly recommended them, and we are so glad she did. They catered our welcome rehearsal dinner at Locust Grove, and everything was perfect. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and they thoughtfully provided gluten-free options as well. Lauren Murray from Rossi & Sons worked closely with us to create a fantastic menu and also arranged wonderful servers who helped make the evening seamless. We also hosted a post-wedding party at Bad Seed Cider, and the Italian panini sandwiches were absolutely incredible--again with gluten-free options available. Our family is still talking about the food! I cannot recommend them enough. They helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable. read more

As far as Italian delis go, Rossi's is stellar. Everything I've ever gotten there is the best of its kind! Nice folks too!

Best sandwiches. I've recommended this spot to a few people and all have agreed that the sandwiches are well worth hyping up and spotting to get if you're in the area or passing through. My favorites are The Number Four and Chicken & Rabe. The sandwiches are filled, made to order (and thus hot), and everything is portioned/seasoned well. Makes you wonder why all sandwiches can't be this good. read more

When I tell you this was the best sandwich I've probably ever had! They were quick, staff made an excellent recommendation, and the fresh ingredients were truly incredible! 3 cutlets of chicken, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, pesto! I literally could not have thought of anything more to add to this perfect combination! read more

The place is very nice and clean, I ordered the meat ball parmigiana sub and the chicken parmigiana sub as well, said portions were huge. My only issue with both subs was the Vodka sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I still highly recommend this place. read more

The og, hope it's great, (I wrote this in an anticipation, spoiler , it was) costs an arm and a leg, but it's two meals to me (or split between ya), so worth it again. I'm siting here waiting and they're screaming at each other , but that's love or whatever I'm a passionate guy too. Now that I've had it, worth a 5 star. I think parking was easy (When I went 230ish) but still lines and waits, but thats expected and anticipated. friendly guys when it came to just saying hi while slamming out top shelf food. Chicken parm you taste so good read more

The roast pork/broccoli raab sandwich is the stuff that Italian deli dreams are made of. The pork is so meltingly tender you could be toothless and still manage to snarf it down. Unreal. Highly recommend ordering the ciabatta as the base - it's sturdy enough to support that pile of pig, cheese and bitter raab. 1 sandwich is sufficient for two adults - they're not messing around with these portions. I can see why they've been in business since 1979. read more

Sandwiches (THE NUMBER FOUR and the TURKEY, FIG & APPLE) were great but deeply disappointed in their customer service. After we finished eating, my mom went to ask where their restroom is. An older woman told her there wasn't one. My mom told her we just bought lunch there and she still refused her the bathroom. I went back to ask myself and was told there was a bathroom around back. Maybe there was a miscommunication that happened but I didn't appreciate how rude the older woman was to my mom. I shouldn't have to ask for her after I just got lunch from here. This was my first time trying Rossi after I read really good reviews but this experience doesn't sit well with me. read more

Sandwiches here are MASSIVE and super filling-- they also have a huge menu and everything looks delicious, had such a hard time deciding what to get. In the end I opted for the roast pork/broccoli rabe which came on this delightfully crunch and airy focaccia and went well with the herb aioli I added. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Poughkeepsie! read more

11/10. Small town deli vibe. Too notch food made here. The sandwiches will easily feed 2 people. Extremely good

The core of Poughkeepsie's Family run Business since forever. It's been a part of my family since I was a little kid. The food is true authentic Italian quinine as if it was made by the Italian grandma in her own kitchen. Great Buffet all the time eggplant, chicken Parm broccoli rabe and whatever is on the menu that day. There's always a line at lunch time that is worth getting into. You will not be disappointed just get in line. 45 South Clover street make your plans ASAP and have your mind blown. Pound for pound (literally) you get a lot of BANG for the buck. Be Blessed No Stress and let Rossi's Deli do it for you. And by the way we've used them several times for family events they have a Great Catering Menu with a ton of choices. By the way I got hungry just writing about it. Look them up and check out the menu. Make it a lunch stop for you and your workers this week. read more

I had to try the OG location after trying the eastdale one a few years ago. Love the old school vibe and even though it's cozy compared to newer spot, it has more heart. All that side, had there blue ribbon which basically their spin on chicken cordon blue, let me tell it's best version there is. The chicken is moist and crispy, cheese is gooey see pic, ham slices are sweet and savory, the herb mayo and honey mustard sauce make the sandwich really sing and elevate a sandwich normally bland to bursting with favor. Plus the focaccia bread is crispy on the outside and very soft inside, a perfect combination. Spiced cannoli was amazing, can't beat a cannoli that is spiced with flavor rather than plain, plus the shell itself is crispy and crunchy, unlikely other places where they can stale as hell. For borgata lemonade, definitely more on the bitter side rather than sweet on the scale, but still refreshing. Service itself was rather quickly and the guy that ran the counter was very friendly and enjoyed his humor when ordering, plus pretty thorough on explaining the menu and offering opinions. read more

The famous Rossi's has been all over social media for some time. I had to go see what the hype was about while visiting family in upstate New York. If you know, you know. The place was clean, the staff were very friendly and kind. You can tell this place has had a great reputation for classic Italian eats for years. It's a definitely a local gem, established in 1979 . Don't think you're going to come here for a simple sub and go... nope these sandwiches are gourmet and created by top chefs. Sandwiches range from $15-20, yup you read correctly. The sandwiches are huge though. Four people can be full and satiated from one sandwich, I promise you. It's ginormous lol My husband and I ordered the famous " Number Four" sandwich. We opted for gluten free bread, I was happy that it was an option. We discovered that the sandwich itself was pretty okay. It was good but we found it to be pretty dry. We tried to fix the dryness with a little mayo which helped a little but to be honest I was a little disappointed with having to do that . Overall it was fun experiencing a historic landmark for the Hudson Valley area and support a local business. read more

Ive always heard amazing things about Rossis. We stopped in today and I wasn't disappointed. It has an old school Italian deli feel with a modern menu. The workers were kind and friendly. It got busy while we were inside waiting. The food didn't take too long and it was very good! I could only eat half! It was a bit expensive but will last me 2-3 meals read more

Great example of a business who has kept it's great quailty and integrity over the years. Love both locations!

The homemade bread is so fresh and unique stuffed sandwiches. Always have the roast beef usually. However, the pork Cuban was so good! It's a keeper !! read more

This time I got Dario: roast beef, rosemary pickled onions, roasted plum tomatoes, arugula, herb aioli, and Gorgonzola cheese. The rustic, sharp taste of the cheese goes perfectly with the zingy arugula and crispy rosemary pickled onions. I also got the toasted tomato BLT, made with roasted tomato, bacon, little gem lettuce, herb aioli, and a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. Both were huge! And both full of their own unique flavors. The BLT was my favorite. The tomatoes are juicy and fresh. The bacon was the perfect mixture between crisp and chewy. The vinaigrette added a tang. I love how this spot has so many different sauces and condiments. A huge selection, you could eat here 20 or 30 times and not eat the same thing. So again, the people complaining about the variety?! Crazy, especially since they even have a build your own option. Fast delivery, huge portions, good prices, tons to choose from. Fresh ingredients. A family owned business with something for everyone. read more

STOP!!!' What are you doing? Want an AMAZING sandwich!!! Then you NEED Rossi's Wow. We had a group to feed and this place did not disappoint. The various sandwiches were AMAZING !! The bread. The BREAD!!!! Knead I say more. Did you get it? I sampled 4 different sandwiches and all of them were amazing. I will definitely need to "actually" go inside and partake in some more amazing eats!!! Wow!!! Two thumbs up for Rossi!!! read more

Came here before a hike and had the best sandwiches of my life. My boyfriend and I ordered their 2 specials: SPICED LAMB SAUSAGE SANDWICH (grilled homemade lamb sausage with warm spices, calabrian chile & citrus, whipped ricotta salata, arugula, salsa verde on ciabatta) and THE AFFUMICATO (prosciutto cotto, speck, asiago, tallegio, artichoke, roasted plum tomatoes, pickled onion, arugula, herb aioli on panini bread). Both of them blew my mind - the flavors, the textures and the breads were PERFECT. We also bought homemade spaghetti, clam sauce, njuda arancini and pimento cheese to take home. The pimento cheese is more red than usual and has a kick to it but is soo delicious. I can't wait to try everything else at home! Inside is pretty no frills deli but they do have tables and chairs outside. Their other location in Arlington is much larger inside and fancier but I can't speak about how the food compares since we went to this location on accident. read more

If you're into sincere Italian deli food, don't miss out on not stopping by Rossi's. Great choices.

Absolutely MASSIVE sandwiches here, I absolutely shouldn't have ordered my own but I was brave and everything here looked so good. It's almost overwhelming hahahaha but I will say it's a fun experience and the quality of ingredients they use are unmatched. read more

Great selection of artisan made sandwiches. Hole in the wall location, with in street parking. But charming and you can tell us driven by family values and history. Recommend anything but #4 was the best. read more

Rossi Rosticceria Deli - #4. - Delis Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

A lot has changed since my last visit years ago. Firstly they close at 5:00 we arrived at 4:55 to a clearly troubled counter guy. To his dismay we ordered. Their bread "house made" sucks- black sesame seeds don't belong on Italian bread and the white ones should be toasted before they go on the dough. The house made mozzarella was like a brick - The beverage selection is very limited The staff is rude- counter guy refused to clean a table when a woman came in and said they had a spill . He said " I'll do it later " She couldn't get him to clean the chair so she could sit and eat- so the group of 4 left !! The dopey sons don't even say hello, grunt or pick up their moping heads. Big change from the mother and father always there to greet you as you walk inside. This place wouldn't exist if the parents ran it this way. Pretty sad. read more

This was a WoW experience! Porchetta and rabe !! We don't have pictures because it was devoured so fast honestly the pictures would not have done it justice !! read more

Insane sandwiches, huge portions, and great service. Truly the best sandwiches I've ever had, and each time I come here, I try to order a different sandwich. I'm blown away every time. You can ask to get it pressed (depending on the type of bread) and it elevates the experience so much. There's no seating inside -- it's more of a deli style where you order sandwiches/cheeses/etc and they have some tables with umbrellas outside. Highly recommend if you're in the area!! read more

A staple of the local Poughkeepsie community. Throughout my four years at Marist or any time I travel north, I always make it a mission to stop here. The food is fresh and BEYOND delicious and the family that owns it is incredible. This easily is the best restaurant in New York, hand down. The servings are so big and for the price, you're definitely getting your moneys worth. No amount of words can describe how phenomenal this place is. It's a MUST VISIT!!! read more

I know you own both locations but this one, hands down, is soooooo much better than the Eastdale location. I have acid reflux and no mattter what I get from Eastdale, it bothers me.

Food is always ready when pick up time comes at this location and your service is lovely and pleasant! read more

At a party catered by Rossi. People from the Bronx and New Jersey spit out the cannoli. What are they thinking, it was horrible filling. All the other hot dishes just not good, all the same. Red sauce in all the dishes, sausage and peppers, red ? All they have is a name that left years ago. Go to your local deli, forget about this one. read more

I had Rossi's cater a big party last Saturday. I cannot say enough great things about this company!!!! I had 75 people coming to the party. I ordered several different kinds of giant paninis, tortellini salads, Caprese salads, cannolis and Italian cookies to be delivered to the venue. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS AND AMAZING!!!!! The staff at Rossi's were fabulous! Sal and Anna helped me make sure I had enough food. The order was delivered right on time by Sal. We had people coming from several different states and from far away so I wanted to make sure that people were fed well! EVERYONE was so impressed with the food from Rossi's. This is a GREAT company and the staff is fabulous! And, my my my, those sandwiches are the best sandwiches in the world!! A hugh THANK YOU to ROSSI'S for helping to make the party great!! read more
