I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my head that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good. read more

I know I compare places here to other cities, but it's my frame of reference. I've been to Italian Delis in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Gloucester Ma. and this place can hang with the best of them [[HIGHLIGHT]]The amazing smells of meat and cheese hit you first and then visual of crowded shelves filled with all kinds of yummies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I knew this would be good because there was a big group of people from the airbase and that's always a good sign. They seem to make the most out of their lunch time. It was a long line but the counterman handled it with great speed. The guy in front of me comes in to buy sausage and fresh mozzarella to make his own homemade calzones. I chose the full size italian beef and the other sandwich we got was mostly veggies and mozzarella(I can't remember the name). While we waited for the sandwiches we perused the baked goods and the italian market with tons of sauces, frozen foods, cheese and delicious baked goods. The sandwiches were huge and delicious. Even as a big a guy as I am I could have done with the half size, but I did end up eating the second half for dinner. The sandwiches are on soft, delicious hoagie rolls. The italian beef was stuff with beef and gardinera. The juices of the meat and the gardinera leaks into the botoom of your tray and almost makes a french dip like sauce. This place is fantastic!!! read more

First thing, the sub sandwiches are 8.49 on their website. That is actually for a half a sandwich. A whole sandwich is $17.00.! I ordered it for takeout. If you decide to do that, make sure you get your dressing on the side. I drove for 20 minutes and when I opened my sandwich up, the bun was completely mush. I had a couple bites. Didn't taste any condiments just dressing on a soggy bun. I will go back to buy groceries, but I think I'll probably pass on the sandwiches or try one there, read more

There's nothing to dislike about this multigenerational, family owned authentic Italian deli. My grandparents took me there when I was a small child in the early 80s. I've been going there ever since. A few years ago, they added a bakery. It is chock full of delicious cookies, eclairs, cannolis, and you can even get a wedding cake there. Most recently, I went with some coworkers for lunch and ordered the Bella Mozzarella sandwich. Beautiful, thick slices of fresh mozzarella, loaded with tomatoes and basil. The bread was super fresh, and the potato salad was very flavorful. My coworker got an eclair on our way out. I just had a bite and it was divine. The older gentleman behind the counter was courteous and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is laid-back, and the side wall is covered in shelves that contain imported pasta and various other products from Italy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a freezer case filled with premade meals and meat. If you haven't been there, it's definitely worth a stop read more

Tully's is a sandwich shop, deli, bakery and grocery store.

Drove to Tully's today to get a sweet treat. The cookies were dry as a bone and absolutely no flavor. The cannoli cream was so thick like cream cheese thick and the cashier so busy talking to the other girl-she gave me the wrong one; had to correct her. Not worth the 21.00 that I paid. The deli is always amazing, and I love the grocery store but please do not waste your money on the bakery side. Sorry, Johnny. read more

I ordered an eggplant parmesan sandwich online. Though I usually am not all that into eggplant parmesan for some reason, it was delicious! I thought the price seemed high when placing my order, but it was huge and high quality! I ate it in 3 separate sittings. The ambience inside this place is very casual. Not a sit down restaurant feel. There is a small Italian market to browse with a fun selection of foods. I couldn't resist buying some grocery items! They are pricey, but seem to be high quality options and many seem to be imported from Italy. You can also get various frozen foods like ravioli- would have liked to see more vegetarian options in the freezer when I went. read more

Tully's Italian Deli - The front counter - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed TULLY's special monthly Italian Dinner Night - definitely worthy of a top-class fine-dining Italian restaurant, but this is a "deli": local and reasonably priced. To start, we were served a champagne glass with a delicious blood orange aperitif. Then we had a Caprese Salad, with an especially creamy fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese and ripe heirloom tomatoes over an arugula salad bed - a nice change from traditional basil leaves. And it was really delicious, per comments from us and other tables. Then we were served an antipasto of golden deep-fried calamari in warm garlic-lemon and olive oil - that was really outstanding and tasty, especially since it's very hard to cook large calamari pieces without it becoming rubbery. Then, the main course - rigatoni with Bolognese sauce - was amazing! Lots of pasta, lots of sauce, lots of broccoli rabe - bigger serving sizes than most restaurants. Indeed, a very exceptional banquet. Finally, we were served a vanilla panna cotta dessert with assorted berries - super tasty and sweet! Not to mention, Tully's included a very good Pino Grigio wine with the antipasti, and an excellent Sangiovese wine with the main dish. We absolutely loved this superb dinner! Very highly recommended, especially for the first-rate quality of food and the reasonable prices - and very friendly personal service. read more

Good morning from a chilly central New Mexico. Boy, were we surprised! We've been driving by Tully's on San Mateo (just south of Constitution on the west side) for decades and never knew that an Italian deli, that could have been found in New York, was right here in Albuquerque. Sheesh - we have missed out on some really great deli fare and homemade entrees to take back with us and enjoy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tully's is a non-pretentious deli with an interior that showcases food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The smells will keep you asking questions and begging for a taste. Counter service, like in any good deli, with a friendly owner and staff - just ask Johnny for the history of his family migrating from New York to New Mexico. You can't miss him - a great mustache. We all ate well and took home stuff for later. And we're coming back.

One thing you can count on when dining at Tully's Italian Market is that you will be well-fed with authentic dishes made from ingredients that come all the way from the motherland. What you can also count on is that you will continue to feast at home on the very same food as there is too much to consume at a single sitting. As we have come to expect, Johnny Camuglia, the shop's owner, will be ready to dispense to-go boxes with the ease and purpose of a dealer at the first table in a high-end casino. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But, what we never expected was that all this would be accompanied by live opera, arias sung by a tenor with pianist, both of whom were comfortable with the music, the venue, and who were obviously enjoying performing there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a wonderful evening at Tullys this past Saturday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A multicourse dinner starting with appetizers and salad. The pasta course was Pasta Norma with melt in your mouth eggplant in a luscious tomato sauce accompanied by Neco All'Altar di Venere from Bellini's Norma, which was followed by a veal scallopini in tomato cream sauce, another highlight to be eaten while being serenaded with Nessun Dorma. All accompanied by wine pairings, choice of dessert and more music. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It may not be Johnny's credo, but everything about the experience he creates would seem to say wordlessly "never enough"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Tully's Italian Deli - The actual store - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Panacheos, only made on Fridays are incredible. Call and reserve so you can make sure you can get one.

Today was my first visit to Tullys. It is a combination, Italian deli, and Italian specialty grocery store with a bakery. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the Cubano sandwich. Very big portion, I could only eat half. I was very happy to see so many Italian grocery items. I didn't buy any bakery items today but they look delicious. Prices are reasonable. This will become a "go to" stop for those times when I am craving a sandwich and want to stock my pantry for Italian style home cooking. read more

My husband and I went here for a late lunch yesterday. I got the Pachino and my husband got the Sicilian. The sandwiches were delicious and huge! They were a little hard to eat and messy, but it was so good with plenty of meat and toppings. The only thing I wished was different was that the bread crust be a little softer. I had a hard time biting through it, but if you like a more toothy bread, then this is the place for you. This place seemed to have many regulars and everyone working there seemed to be happy to be working and friendly. Definitely my kind of place. We walked around to the bakery and I saw something I'd never seen before. Sfogliatelle! I didn't even care what was inside. Those flaky and crispy layers were all I needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find it just lightly sweet inside. It was perfect! Looking forward to going back and trying their other sandwiches. read more

Hmm Italian Deli, fond childhood memories of Saturday trips to the "Italian Store" to pick up ingredients for Sunday dinner. If you grew up in an Italian household you probably understand this. Sauce on Saturday for dinner on Sunday. Whats missing here?The aroma of freshly baked breads and Italian spoken by almost everyone in the store. The shelves are stocked with items from the Old Country and cases filled with deli meats, cheeses and olives. The bakery is down the hall - still no aroma. But we came for the food. 12" Sicilian Sub for me - sorry mama (she warned me about Sicilians). Plus a salad for the Mrs. Huh? Ya know when in Roma... The sub was huge! Full of meats - including a not so mild capocollo. Ah now we're cooking. The salad was equally large. We got olives to go and some biscotti for dessert. The Saturday shopping trips ended many years ago but it looks like this may become a regular Saturday stop for us. Mama would be proud read more

There's a tale long told of a magical deli in Albuquerque called Tully's Italian Deli. In my holy quest for the best food in town my mates and I commenced our invasion. Jim Domina had the Al Pacino, with Capacola ham, Genoa salami and provolone. Jay Miller opted for a simple hot pastrami with mustard and provolone. I went all out and got the Joe DiMaggio, with pastrami, ham, Genoa salami and copious amounts of olives and banana peppers. I'm not a bread person, but have to say that this bread may be the best sammich bread I've had. No matter that mine was obviously the most visually pleasing, we all came out victorious! Plus, these sammiches are ENORMOUS! The Deli also has everything an Italian chef could ever want, and the bakery was a sweet lover's paradise! So do yourselves a favor. Go check out Tully's.

Tully's Italian Deli - Had to get a photo. Great guy! - Italian Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The portions are massive, like so massive I was able to make four meals out of one sub. I ordered a Joe DiMaggio and a cannoli to go and it took me days to finish it all. There is so much going on here, I had no idea that this sub spot was also a specialty grocery store. You can get just about anything from cannoli shells to frozen meals galore. I'm really impressed with the amount of items offered here. My sweet tooth is very much satisfied from all the sugary options in the bakery area. Cheers to options, right? As for my meal, I found everything to be pretty good. The cannoli filling was wonderful, one of my favorite sweet treats. The shell was fine. The sandwich was loaded with meats and veggies, the portions will not leave you wanting. I also really enjoyed their potato salad, it's really good. I did find the sauce to be a bit lacking on the sand which, I added more at home. I also didn't love the bread, it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either. Overall, I would totally go back for a quick bite or for some special ingredients next time I'm cooking up something Italian. read more
