Queen City Deli

"My wife and I wanted a quick lunch. We had been wanting to stop in here for a while after grabbing cannolis to go a couple of times. Her manicotti was good, but typical for a pasta dish. It's a nice portion, though. My pastrami sandwich was very nice with a lot of meat and a good flavor. I usually make mine hot, but it was good as a cold sandwich here. The, of course, we finished it off with those delicious, very fresh cannolis. We'll be back to try more."

"Had one of their specials for the first time, beef ravioli. It was excellent, can't stop thinking about it. I wish it was a standard menu item, but at the same time, maybe its rarity makes it special."

"Went in for an Italian beef sandwich. I ordered it wet and to go. First impression was the bag felt light. Unwrapping the sandwich led to disappointment. Beef looked like lunch meat. The bread was good. They tried on the flavor but it was lacking. The sandwich wasn’t as wet as I would have liked. I’m happy to have gotten an Italian beef in Springfield but it let me down. I will give them one more shot down the line after I venture out to rogersville and try D’Vine deli."

"Delicious Italian sandwich with lots of meat and good quality bread. The portion size is large and the price is very reasonable. The gentleman working the counter is very friendly. Highly recommend! If I lived in Springfield, I'd come here every week."

"Would I return? Yes I had been recommended to visit this Italian joint for some time. Passing through on business, I stopped in. The establishment is VERY unassuming and low key. As I approached the counter for my order, I announced that I was a new customer recommended here. As such, I requested (to whom I assume was the owner - an older gentlemen) a recommended dish or two that were unique and sort of signature dishes and not necessarily the most common. The gentlemen seemed mildly annoyed or impatient with the quick request. Perhaps, he was busy and pressured; i do not know. I will say this nearly turned me away on the spot. Moving on - my meal was the Chicken Portabella Mushroom. It was served pleasant hot ( not merely warm like some places serve "hot" meals). The flavor was robust & savory! I was frankly surprised because when the meal was served, i was under-impressed with the portion size and general presentation. However...HOWEVER, do not judge a book by its cover. I was pleased with the meal and its flavor, for it was authentic in its flavor compared to the "branded" restaurants. Additionally, the price point is VERY reasonable. So - to sum it up, the flavor and price more than made up for the initial greeting."
