    P.I.
    Kristina N.

    My husband and I were finally able to check this place out. I'm from Brooklyn, NY, so when I asked locally where to go to get a good deli sub, everyone said Vanellis, so I was very excited. The quality of cold cuts is good, but the amount of filling (meat, cheese and veg) to bread is crazy. The bread is probably the best bread we have had in Memphis when it comes to subs, however, it was nothing like the bread back in NY or like any actual Italian bread I've ever had. It's more so a very soft type bread. None of that crunchy outer layer with a soft and pillowy inside that makes us all love deli subs so much up North. If you're looking for a good place for cold cuts, this is one of them. However, you'll be better off just going to Kroger for Boars Head because the prices here are $15-20 per LB for meats and I believe $9-10 per LB for cheeses. Overall, the subs were fine. Nothing special. Definitely not what I expected when being told this was like the deli subs we grew up eating. If you're from up north and are looking for a hero or roll like back home, keep looking. This isn't it.

    Nice little Italian deli. Pretty authentic...I had to look up what some items were! The staff was friendly and helpful with just a touch of impatience for those of us with questions. I got the Ami. It was tasty. They had a fun selection of chips with some unusual flavors I hadn't seen before. We enjoyed that. The place was very busy.

    Great deli!!! Popped in for lunch and we were definitely happy with that decision. There is some inside seating and some outside seating, not a lot of either though so it's possible you could end up there with no place to sit but we had a few places from which to choose so, clean living I guess. There were a few people ahead of us in line but the line moved pretty quickly. Employees were friendly and able to answer questions we had. We got an Ami, a spicy roast beef, an Italian sausage grandmama style, and a club. The sandwiches were all very good and there was a good selection of chips as well. I'll definitely come back here to try some more of the menu items.

    Just a nice, a-ok sandwich place. The workers are really friendly and are happy to help people out. I've never been so they recommended me their most popular sub and said usually people work their way down the list as they return. Unfortunately, I'm not a big sandwich person so I can't see myself coming back. Again, friendly service, but the food was just ok. Ok: - Sandwich: #1 The 'Ami Disliked: - Dessert: Cannoli

    Great subs. Great people! Love the Ami and the Italian chicken. Raviolis for the holidays are amazing and just a good family owned business.

    Great sandwiches made the way you want. Laid back atmosphere where they treat you like family. If you want a quick lunch this is the place.
