My favorite deli in the area, Vinny himself is always good for a smile and nice greeting. Their steak margherita was featured on the Food Network about a dozen years ago, and that was my go-to for years. I do, though, like sandwiches and have been up and down their board a bit. Today it was the Raging Bull. Look at that roast beef! Earlier in the year (for the Super Bowl, I think), a great little platter worked perfectly that evening. A year or two earlier, they offered another platter to sync with the Masters (I'll add that pic if I find it). They're good with socials too, announcing specials that have caused me to run out for lunch! But, again, it's the sandwiches, and the mozzarella balls. Fun little spot in downtown Pawling, everyone always seems cheerful, on both sides or the counter! read more

Unexpectedly stopped by Vinny's - coming from NYC - this is the BEST Italian Deli I have ever eaten at! Holy YUM! 10/10 + friendly service.

Stopped in with my family to grab some stuff to take back to the Airbnb. So, I left the northeast in 83, to go Join the military. After a 30 year career, I ended up staying in Virginia. The BIGGEST thing I miss from up north is the food!!! My #12 was sooooooo great! I tried to talk one of the guys in back into moving business to VA but he kindly turned the idea down. Thanks for such great food! read more

Great sandwiches, love the Italian combo with extra peppers. Vinny is a delight. Very friendly place. I feel like I teleported into Italy walking in the store. read more

Our go-to sandwich shop in the area. Food is amazing. We love the eggplant parm sammy and Vinny's Famous Steak Margherita. Buy a burrata to take home and you won't be disappointed. Service is always super friendly. A definite must-visit! read more

10 stars possible? I've been here a couple times now, and for some reason haven't had their "famous sandwich." Man if I could go back to those first few times and reorder the Steak Margarita, I absolutely would. It's outrageous. Not too much meat, the perfect amount in fact. No leakage which means a lot to me. The fresh mozz is just perfect Famous for a reason, try it, you'll love it... Cute little italian place, homey smell in there. Staff is awesome. The woman behind the counter met me try the Ghost Pepper Cheddar Cheese, sheeeesh hot af but great taste and short linger. Great olives to choose from. Will be back for more, and my 2XL "Legalize Marinara" tee! Check out The Oven Podcast on YouTube and keep up to date with where we feed ourselves IG @theoven_pod read more

Vinny's Deli & Pasta - Famous Steak Margarita - Delis Near Me - Pawling, New York

I have been ordering from Vinny for years now. I lived in California, and now in North Carolina. Vinny's Marinara sauce is so good I have been having it shipped to me for years. There is no sauce that holds a candle to this. You can't buy anything remotely close to the sauce! And as always, it is a pleasure speaking to Vinny when I order. I just wish I lived close enough to get his food!!!! read more

I set out on a venture to your deli that people recommended. (I drove 30 minutes to get there so I could try the food bc I was planning a party to be catered. ) So I ordered an eggplant parm on a roll and my wife ordered a VIN-FIL-A along with other items I purchased. As she almost ate half of the sandwich she claimed her mouth was on fire. It was LOADED with black pepper, which she did not ask for bc she is allergic to it. WHY were we not asked if we would like salt and pepper on the sandwich??? When she went inside to remark about the sandwich to Stephanie (the manager) she said no problem what else could we get you? My wife ordered roasted beef and it was fine until... she charged us another $10 !!! In my entire lifetime of ordering at deli's wether it be sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll OR a turkey sandwich, the first question to the customer is " Would you like salt and pepper on that?? What ever happened to the customer is always right?? I walked out of there spending $50 and still got charged. She could have simply said we add salt and pepper is this ok? Nonetheless, this was our tirst time there, and with that experience it will be our last. A very dissatisfied customer !! Ps the eggplant was also loaded w black pepper but luckily I'm not allergic. It was also overly salted. read more

First time trying this deli today. It was excellent! I had the steak margarita which was phenomenal. Service was great. I definitely will be going back to try the other sandwiches they have. They also have other fine Italian delicacies which I brought home for later. A true NYC deli but don't have to drive into Manhattan to get great food. read more

Food is first of all amazing, I see why the steak margarita was featured on tv .All fresh products. Food is made fresh and quick. Owner is a great guy who even threw in a free bag of chips for me. I recommend to anyone read more

I've been coming to Vinnys for over a decade and can confidently say ive eaten here over 30 times. Ive had almost every sandwich on the menu, theres no wrong choice! The homemade meals and all the deli items in the window are also excellent. Vinny and his family are so passionate about the quality of their food and the customer experience, it's unheard of. I highly recommend this deli, Vinny is an angel himself! read more

To call this is a "deli" is a polite mistake - this is an experience not to be missed. We were in town looking at houses to buy and hit the jackpot with lunch and a great converstaion with Vinny himself who not only us made feel like family - he fed us like family. If the order taker asks roll or wedge - act like you know and go with the wedge - you won't go wrong. Had the steak margarita special and eggplant parm - both were superb. The steak sandwich was the star of the show. But the mozzarrela is the show stopper. Vinny offered us a fresh slice and I was in heaven, but to then have It melted over the softest bread and the best sauce and whatever you choose to have piled high in between is fantastic. The olive oil in the tortellini and artichoke heart salad was of the the highest quality. Forget looking for our dream house we hit the jackpot and found our dream italian take out spot. Run dont walk and if you are looking for a fun day trip during the long covid winter its worth a trip up to Pawling - arrive hungry and plan to leave full. Bring a cooler and plan to bring home extra! Now you know. Thank you Vinny for making it a spectacular day. We wil be making the 75 mile drive to see you again very soon! You are that good. read more

Vinny's Deli & Pasta - Look at the bottom of Vinny's business card - WOW and OMG - no exaggeration. #TruthinAdvertising! - Delis Near Me - Pawling, New York

I've been going to Vinnys now for five years and it hasn't changed a bit, which is a great thing because it's still the absolute best. Vinny and his staff always make you feel welcomed, like family. The sandwiches are works of art. No visit to NY is complete without a visit. I love it!! read more

Gave this place a second chance, won't be giving it a third. Lettuce on one sandwich was literally just chunks of yellow ends, and the eggplant was incinerated on the other. I took one bite and noticed a really off taste, breading on the eggplant was black. To see that and think.... Sure let's serve that, is beyond me. Definitely leaning way too hard on the whole food network gimmick, and not nearly enough on quality. Perfect example of catering to small town palates that have no reference to compare. read more

THIS DELI IS THE BEST!!!! Obviously their fresh mozzarella made daily is a must but we've tried several of their sandwiches, cheeses, bread, to-go meals, etc... and one thing is just as fresh and delicious as the next. As an Italian who grew up going to Arthur Avenue, I really appreciate the authenticity Vinny's deli brings to the area. There's no comparison within miles & miles. They've got some awesome sandwiches, that are always too big to finish and ends up being two meals which is great. Lastly, the service! Vinny himself will come chat & all the staff there is helpful and friendly. Sometimes it's hard to figure out who is on line or if there is a line because it's a small space, but it's totally worth it!!! read more

Not the place to go for a chicken parm. I would have expected it to be at least store made breaded chicken breast. It's frozen and you can tell. It ruins the sandwich read more

Everything is always great here! The staff and Vinny are wonderful and welcoming. This is a go to place.

I went into this place when we first moved to Pawling and have been going back the food is absolutely incredible, Vinny and his staff are fantastic. I highly recommend this place for grabbing lunch or to cater a party read more

Steak and margarita That's all I gotta say. It lives to the hype. I'm full with half a sandwich not going to lie. But it's so fresh and delicious that I just keep digging into it. They have a variety of other foods that I have to come back and try. Unfortunately once I have that thing I like off the menu, I usually stick to it. But had some cookies there and really good. I like how they have a lot of imported goods as well. And vinny is so nice and always greets his customers when he's there read more

Delicious deli meats and combo hero's. The homemade mozzarella is outrageous with tomato and basil salad. Great service and home town vibe. read more

The best deli in America!!! The sandwiches are made to order with the best ingredients and even toasted or grilled if the sandwich requires it. The creative sandwich menu will satisfy anyone and the frozen take home dinners are fantastic as well. The cheeses and meats as well as olive oils and balsamic vinegar are some of the best I've had. I've never gotten tired of eating at Vinny's !!!! It's always something I look forward to! P.S. - try the Steak Margarita sandwich - it's epic! read more

This place is gross. I worked in the food industry for years and taking a glance into this kitchen made me sick. No one was wearing gloves while assembling sandwiches. In the meantime they were picking up phones and wiping their faces. Pretty sure that's a health code violation to then touch food that is ready to eat. I begrudgingly took a bit of their chicken parm sandwich, think string cheese meets rubber meets chicken. Never going back. read more

I live on Arthur Ave. little Italy. In the Bronx. Best Italian food in the country. This Vinny's sandwich was the best Italian sandwich I've EVER had. read more

I had to come! I have purchased their marinara sauce at Ace Endico. I aware their sauce is superior to Raios . I have heard how amazing their homemade mozzarella was, just the right amount of salt. ... I ordered their signature sandwich, meatballs, chicken with vodka sauce, chicken Marsala, eggplant rolls. I wanted my family to have a Smorgasbord of wonderful Italian treats. Well I loved the vodka and marinara sauces!!! Hated the Marsala, meatballs way to much breadcrumbs, chicken fair and eggplant fair. I would only go for the sauces. The rest I was extremely disappointed.. read more

All I can say is WOW! Right when me and my wife walked in we were greeted like we were family. I talked to Vinny and told him we had to come here after hearing about this place (we live about 35 minutes away). We ordered 3 of vinny's Famous Steak Margarita Sandwiches which damn once you took the first bite your taste buds went wild, no lie this is my favorite sandwich NOW! Also his Fresh Mozzarella is awesome! We will definitely be back to this deli! Thank you Vinny and also your wonderful staff! read more
