Joe's Italian Deli 685 East 187th Street, The Bronx, New York 10458,

"Had two sandwiches there back to back days, they were both phenomenal. At a $15 price point, it is expensive however they are large, dense, and high quality sandwiches. Shown in picture I had mortadella, prosciutto, fried eggplant, and mozzarella. All the ingredients felt fresh and easily beat out delis in other areas of NY. The place is nice as well and smells good."

"When it comes to picking the "best" Italian deli on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx it's not quite as simple as pointing to a single winner. It really depends on what you're looking for! Today I was looking for a loaded and delicious Italian sandwich and I found one at Joe's."

"I got the big Tony for a friend and the uncle Frank for me. Super good mozzarella and the sandwiches are very very good, mine had prosciutto, mozzarella, and roasted red peppers, I highly recommend it. Got a wedge of pecorino too. But it's hard to overstate how beautiful this store is, with the careful arrangement of all the salumeri and grocery items, and all the carefully painted signage. It's a real treat. I shared with an Italian American (2nd Gen) friend of mine some of these pictures and she said "I want my house to look like this". Me too!"

"I bought a Sanpellegrino, an Italian Sparkling Orange Drink. The store is excellently organized and stocked. They keep their Italian sauces and quality meats in good condition. I would go back to this deli to complement the experience of Little Italy. The Italian food and spices are always displayed the best in Joe’s Italian Deli, right in Little Italy. On another day, I was sitting at the table in the deli, drinking a brand of cactus water I got from the store. It naturally energized me for the day of my afternoon meeting with my supervisor. The drink was amazing. Meanwhile, I asked about the olives they sell on display. They look authentic for specialty pastas and salads. Must go back for more."
