I tried the Zanti's Italiano today (Mortadella, salami, ham, capocollo, Lettuce, tomato, giardiniera (I got mild), vinaigrette on cheese garlic bread). I got it toasted. It was really delicious! The meat was tender and had great flavor. The cheese gave it a slightly creamy texture when it was still warm. The staff was great and friendly as ever! Zanti's is still one of my favorite sandwich shops! read more

I know there has been different owners at Zanti's. The current one - Dessert are great, but the food/sandwiches not good. We tried a special that had toasted ravioli on it. Gross! Also ordered 2 other sandwiches- not good. However the desserts phenomenal. I would go back for desserts but regular food, not again. There are a few tables inside you can eat at but looks like most people get it to go. read more

The sandwiches at Zanti's are always fresh and delicious. We really like the chicken Parmesan sandwich! It's huge and feeds two people. The service is usually really fast and space is small but always clean and well maintained! The staff are really friendly too! read more

we love this place! Pics of our amazing Hawaiian chicken sub and Muffuletta. Husband considers himself a muffuletta aficionado and says it's currently the best in St. Louis. They use high quality ingredients and their bread is some-of the best in St. Louis too. Service is always quick and friendly. read more

I have been wanting to try this pizza for a while. I ordered a large bacon pizza maybe an hour in advance on a weeknight to pick up at a set time. I was about 10 minutes late to pick it up due to unforeseen traffic. When I gave them my name the woman said they were making me a small/extra half pizza because sometimes the edges of their pizzas don't come out right and it's smaller than it's supposed to be. In a minute she handed me two boxes and I was on my way. I looked at and tasted both when I got in the car. The large pizza clearly looks burnt. It was overcooked and under sauced. I love a well done pizza but this was dry. The small pizza was much better but still not enough sauce and less flavor than I would have expected. The best thing here was the slightly thick cut generous amount of bacon. So my next question is was the 1/2 pizza really because of the amount of the large pizza or was it because they knew the large wasn't right? If they knew it wasn't right why didn't they just remake it? Not sure but while I'd certainly give it another go in the future I'm not dying to go back based on my first try. read more

Finally made it to Zanti's Deli!!!! I wasn't sure if they stayed open until 6pm or 7pm. But we made it!!! We ordered the Panko Onion Rings.. very good, Hot and Crunchy!!! They gave us some dipping sauce of the White BBQ Sauce.. if you like a horseradish based sauce it was good. The Deluxe Pizza was soo good. They don't skip on the toppings and we love how the bacon was laid on top to get nice and crispy!! The Onion Melt sandwich was good. Tenderloin/Carmelized Onions/Havarty and Guyere Cheese with a Balsamic drizzle on Grilled Sourdough bread. Sandwich was good, onion were sweet. I love Balsamic glaze... it was messy but good!!! I can't wait to go back and try some more!!! Service was top notch ! Would love some of the other sandwich recommendations!! Bonus: great night to sit on the patio table and enjoy our food!!! And.... I got some of there Frozen Lasagna and Gelato (Ameretto & Pistachio) for home to eat later!!! Zanti's Deli read more

We walked in and we were quickly greeted by the lady at the counter. As it was our first time here she was very nice and helping us figure out what to order. I ordered the Zanti's Italiano 10 inch sub toasted with hot giardiniera. It was pretty big. I could only eat half of it, but I took the other half home for lunch the next day. It was loaded with meat and toppings. Not much cheese on there but plenty of everything else. Be aware that the hot.giardinera is hot just like they say. I had to pick some of those peppers off of it because it was making my eyes water. It's a nice little sandwich shop. Decorated nice. There are only 3 two top tables inside but a picnic table outside of the weather is nice. They did have a freezer/refrigerator section that you could get your drinks from grab something to go real quick or get gelato. read more

The wife and I finally made it to Zanti's Deli, a place we've been wanting to try for a few months, especially since I saw photos of their pastrami, my favorite meat. I love me some reuben, corned beef or pastrami but on the board today they had pastrami and grilled onions on rye so I decided to give it a try, substituting french roll for the rye, choosing spicy mustard over their white sauce. Karla is an admittedly very picky eater, choosing a simple ham and cheddar on sour dough. The restaurant is fairly small, maybe three or four small tables, but we arrived mid afternoon and quickly found an empty table. Ambiance is best described as "we encourage take-out". Owner Jami was at the counter and she is truly awesome; kind, patient, friendly, the whole nine yards. Let there be no doubt the pastrami was the star of the show. Holy cow it was so very tender and juicy AND flavorful, some of the best pastrami I've ever had. I was initially disappointed that it wasn't sliced deli thin like one of my favorites, Carl's Deli, but my disappointment faded immediately upon first bite. Wow! This may be my new favorite pastrami in the metro. Thick cut was definitely the right move for this house made pastrami. Jami threw in a small cup of their white sauce to try and I'm so glad she did. If you like a mild but flavorful horseradish sauce, you won't be disappointed by their white sauce. Karla really enjoyed the ham and cheese. The ham was so plentiful, we took some off of the sandwich and brought it home with us to make another sandwich out of. She would have much preferred Texas toast over the sourdough but she said the sandwich was nonetheless tasty with flavorful ham. Both sandwiches came with a side of pasta salad. Full disclosure, I'm not a cold pasta salad fan but it was tasty. Karla absolutely loved the pasta salad with its sweet and slightly tangy dressing. Overall, a super wonderful experience. We plan to return soon to try other things on the menu but I've gotta be honest. It's going to be tough for me to skip the pastrami. read more

Italian Market and Deli just down from Roberto's. Cashier counter, deli counter, and freezer case. Bright and airy inside. A bench for waiting after you place your order, although I wandered around and looked at all the market items. Small but great selection! Very friendly staff! Younger girl explained everything and made recommendations. I went with the Panzerotto with sausage and peppers after the reassurance there was no Parmesan and she offered to leave out the mozzarella so I said ok. I am picky about cheese ! I am HOOKED! It was delicious. Great pastry flavor, lots of salsiccia, peppers, and onions. It was all I could do to not eat the whole thing so I could enjoy the rest for lunch the next day! A couple of tables outside in front but no indoor seating. I am already thinking about when I can go back! read more

I bought an Italian sandwich aat Zanti's Italian Deli for a friend of mine who is in the hospital, and is EXTREMELY picky about his "sammitches." He LOVED his Italian sandwich. He hadn't had much of an appetite, but he snarfed this sandwich right down, and declared it great. The service was prompt, and the staff was really, really nice. If I didn't live 120 miles away I would be there right now. read more

Service was good they were friendly enough, but the food was just not good.... We tried the pizza, the crust is paper thin. We could tell as soon as we picked up the box - weighed less than a pound. The roast beef was not good and the meatball sandwich had a very weird flavor. Buffalo chicken sandwich was just a weird concept and the flavor was not there. read more

A straightforward, tasty experience. Zanti's Deli isn't a deli as I picture them, so much as a sandwich counter and a specialty grocery for Italian food items. I had heard the porchetta sandwich was good, so I gave it a try. It was straightforward, but very good. Crusty Italian bread housed flavorful, sliced pork roast along with sweet & tender caramelized onions, tomato, arugula, and "Zanti's" vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was lightly flavored, but also gave the sandwich a nice bit of moisture. This was a well put-together sandwich. One bonus I want to mention. The sandwiches come in two sizes, 7" and 10". The 10" sandwiches are only $2 more than the 7" ($15 vs. $13), so go for the 10". The bonus here is that the 10" sandwich is actually 11" long! This ain't not Subway bait & switch where the footlong subs are actually only 11". read more

Whew...they were doing a brisk lunch business today, in spite of dreary rainy snowy day. I was on a gelato mission to serve as dessert for upcoming holiday gathering. Zanti's is so flavorful and creamy, a bit pricey, but definitely worth it! I grabbed a hazelnut and pistachio and was in & out fairly quickly. They primarily do carry out business, nice touch that the few tables were dressed up for the holidays. read more

Pretty good! We got our sandwiches to go since they have limited seating inside. We got the Ribeye Melt and an Italiano. The Ribeye melt was good for the first couple of bites, but becomes a little much that you can't finish it. Italiano was yummy and flavorful. Would go back. read more

Personally not a fan. Over sugar trying to impress. Bland food. Ich. Unless you like sugar, go for it. read more

Service and Sandwiches were excellent! We will be back. I got the zanti's special, hubby got a steak tip sandwich (which I will get next time). One kid got chicken strips (breaded there) and the other got a turkey sandwich that I stole a bite of! They also have pasta and gelato to take home. read more

Small counter service sandwich shop. Sandwich was solid. Bread was great. The guy at the counter was friendly and made me laugh.

Checked out Zanti's and had the roast beef with au jus. I had it on the garlic cheese bread. I really enjoyed the sandwich. The beef was good but could have used more seasoning. The garlic cheese bread help add flavor to this sandwich. My friend and I each tried a gelato. Pistachio for her and Amaretto for me. I enjoyed both but that pistachio was really good. I will get that next time. read more

I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The people were friendly and offered suggestions. I enjoyed the Zanti's Italiano and some homemade vegetable soup. The soup was delicious and warmed me up. Good portions and the sandwich was excellent. I can't wait to stop in again for lunch or takeout. read more

Service was great. I felt welcomed once I walked in. Everyone there was attentive. I was so excited to try the food here but was not impressed at all. I think the only item that was pretty good, was the cannoli. I ordered the Italian, mango gelato, coconut gelato, the caprese sandwich, and the panzerotto. Gelato had freezer burn, and the favor didn't hit you in the face like I was expecting. Panzerotto was confusing. I have been to Italy and had a Panzerotti-hand held pocket with crushed tomato and lots of mozzarella. So I was hoping for something similar. It did not deliver. It was a flat, flavorless, and the dough was wet from the watery tomatoes inside. Not good at all. The sandwiches are made on cheap bread. Absolutely no crunch to the bread it was bland. The Italian def needed some Mayo based sauce on it. Overall- flavorless food. I went here with my family and we were very disappointed. Left much to be desired. read more

My wife and I visited Zanti's Deli for the first time today. Let me start by saying WOW! I ordered the Sausage & Peppers sandwich. It was absolutely fantastic. My wife selected the Panzerotto. She took the first bite, closed her eyes and smiled. I knew it had to be good. I stole a bite. It wasn't good, it was delicious. I've never tasted anything quite like it before. We couldn't leave without grabbing some gelato & tiramisu, it was a really good decision, both were heavenly delicious. The decor is bright and airy, with a wonderful selection of dry goods and prepared meals. Well done Roberto and Team! we will be back soon. read more

Unfortunately not a fan. Tried it twice and everything was very bland. The prime rib sandwich was tender but had no trace of the horseradish. Had to add salt & pepper. The chicken Parm sandwich had minimal sauce. The chicken pesto sandwich had plenty of sauce but both suffered from a severe lack of seasoning. Got the gazpacho, but it was cold stew with large chunks of tomatoes, peppers, etc. very strange to me. Maybe this is common somewhere but I've only had puréed gazpacho with maybe a garnish. Pasta salad was the only thing with some flavor but nothing worth going back for. Won't be trying a 3rd time that's for sure. read more

Zanti's Deli has truly exceeded my expectations. The moment I walked in, the friendly staff made me feel welcome with a cheery "hello" and a "welcome in". She answered all my questions and made a few recommendations. The menu has an array of deli sandwich classics and some unique creations. There are only a few tables, but it's a deli, not a restaurant. There are a few picnic tables outside if needed too. My last visit I ordered their Brisket Salad with their homemade Vidalia Onion Dressing. It was nothing short of perfection. The brisket was tender and flavorful and if I dare say it, almost too much for the salad. There is no skimping on ingredients or portions here. My salad was enough for two meals. My husband got a daily special sandwich called Smoked Chicken Melt. I did get a bite to try it. The chicken was so tender and had a perfect smoked flavor. It had port wine cheese and an amazing homemade bacon jam. It was amazing! What impressed me the most was that almost everything is homemade. Their sauces, soups, pasta salad, meatballs, and most a few of their dressings are all made in house with high quality ingredients. They also have AMAZING gelato made at their sister restaurant "Roberto's". It's clear that the owners and staff of Zanti's take pride in every menu item served. If you've never had their pizza, it is a must!!! And that Lasagne Soup! Omg! I highly recommend stopping by Zanti's Deli. read more

I have been to the Deli many times since they opened. Had the meatball, sausage and pet, plus the roast beef sandwich, and foccicia through the visits!! Always been too notched!! Never disappointed! Have also had the eggplant dinner, pasta salads, lasagna, meatballs, and again, all top notched. Have even had sliced Italian mortadella. Service has been good and for such a compact store, they offer quite a bit! Based on the continued steady flow of customers I have seen during my visits seems many must feel much like I do in patronizing this business. read more
