But there's still time. Grab a caprese sandwich. Or some pasta salad. Maybe a cannoli. It's all good. Angelo's is an institution on both sides of the jetty and these people take good care of us. Exactly who I think of when I think of the businesses that make Long Beach great.

It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality and taste of the food make it worth it. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and welcoming, with that authentic neighborhood Italian deli feel. I also really like all the changes they've made to the spot and the variety of Italian foods and products you can purchase while you're there. Every time I've gone, I've seen the same cashier, and he is always so nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

On our way to a concert, we decided to stop at Modica's, a place I've visited several times over…read morethe years. I ordered ahead, and lucky me--my order was ready for pickup in under 10 minutes. On previous visits, I've sometimes waited closer to 15-20 minutes, so this was a very welcome surprise. I ordered the pastrami sandwich on a roll, and they certainly didn't skimp on the meat. It was generously piled high--exactly how I think a good pastrami sandwich should be served, with so much meat it practically falls out with every bite. The pastrami was flavorful, and the portion was impressive. My husband ordered the beef dip and gave it equally high marks. His sandwich was also generously filled, and he said the beef was delicious. These are seriously substantial sandwiches. We could only manage half of each before the concert, which turned out to be a bonus--the other halves became a very satisfying late-night treat. Modica's delivered where it matters: generous portions, satisfying sandwiches, good flavor, and this time, impressively quick service.

A true Italian paradise…read more I got to spend a week learning the ins-and-outs of the downtown LB food scene. Modica's Deli was one of the few places that absolutely blew me away.. yet had me crawling back for more. This Italian deli is dedicated to serving up sammies to locals. Their menu is extensive and includes hot and cold sandwiches, charcuterie, salad, soup, pasta, plus pre-made deli favorites. They also have an extensive list of wine onsite, in case you want to add some oomph to your next business meeting. I ordered the 16" Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, tomato, provolone and mayo. It might sound simple, but this monster of a sandwich was incredibly tasty. Can't wait to return and see how hard this place hits during soup season.

With my Afro Latino roots I was craving a Cubano sandwich and was thoughtful enough to grab a "Spicy Steve" and the service was attentive and top tier at the same darn time It's a quaint spot and mad me fee like I was diving into the better unknown secrets of Belmont Heights with pleasant results. Now what should never be allowed is the tasteless, seasonless and soulless potato salad that was presented to me at the counter which should be overhauled or punishable to the chef and crew by making them eat a years supply of this horrific concoction. All in all it was a delightful surprise and I'll be back shortly to enjoy that next round of fantastic sandwiches ! P.S. For the love of God rethink that potato solid it's a good way to lose business if it's that memorable !

You order at the counter (either for takeout or to dine in), and they have a nice selection of imported Italian goods like sauces and pantry items, which gives it an authentic feel. I tried their meatball sandwich, and it was honestly delicious--super flavorful and clearly made fresh. One of my favorite things is that they also sell take-home pints of their sauce at a really affordable price. I brought one home and cooked with it, and it tasted way better than your typical store-bought jarred sauce. They also offer weekday specials, which is a nice bonus. I've been to both their Long Beach and Seal Beach locations, and both have been consistently good. Overall, it's definitely a thumbs up from me. I'm excited to go back and try more items on their menu!

The deli sides are also pretty expensive for what you get. I'd still stop by if I'm in the area, but it's no longer a place I go out of my way for. For me, it's about a 6 out of 10 these days. I hope they can get back to what made them so special years ago.

My entire food journey started in a Columbia, Maryland food court at The Mall and a grilled Reuben…read moreat the age of 13. Since then the grilled Reuben has been my measuring stick for every restaurant that serves it. It's a must! It shows the attention to detail. It's not a sandwich you can rush. It requires its own time to caramelize and set the flavors up properly. Just like a house made soup, a Grilled Reuben can tell you a lot. And, it just happens to be my favorite sandwich of all time! So. High marks on the store itself. It has a very open air feel, lots of natural lighting, high ceilings and then a hidden court yard behind the shop. It's very clean with lots of colors and art. The music is perfect for the space. The menu is varied and they have both alcoholic drinks and non alcoholic drinks. It's a deli. And they absolutely fill the roll perfectly. And as anyone will tell you, who frequents any deli in the country. What matters is the food. Period. All the niceties mean nothing if the food distant stand up. So... how did they do? Meh. I've had worse. Much worse. I've also had much better. And understand his is my personal opinion. I'm well aware that my comments will not reflect the opinion of everyone. But, the corned beef. They do not cook it in house. It didn't appear to be a brisket although with it being shaved as thinly as it is I don't know if that would help. Brisket corned beer works best when it's nice thick beautiful cuts that break apart and melt in your mouth. But. As you can see in the picture, they don't grill the corned beef but they do pile it pretty darn high. Which is nice. The sauerkraut wasn't grilled. The rye wasn't roasted long enough so the Swiss didn't properly melt and set. Not enough Thousand Island dressing. The rye has the perfect texture and it helps to very nicely. An excellent Jewish rye! The pesto pasta salad was very nice. And it looked as if the other sides were made with an equal amount of attention and love. So high marks there. This is one of those tough reviews because the reality is the atmosphere, the staff and the location are all excellent. The sandwich needs some work. Remember that the Grilled Reuben is the ONLY TRUE American Sandwich. It was created from scratch for the 1942 World's Fair in New York City. It's an original! Treat it with the respect it deserves. And this three star sandwich... of all sandwiches is a hard pass. Sorry. But, if you would ever like to have me come into your restaurant and show you how to serve the best Reuben of your life... just invite me back. I'd love to show you how to make some simple tweaks and turn a meh into a don't miss!
