J.P. Graziano Grocery — West Loop italian where the sandwiches in the city sets the tone. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. You can taste the generations behind this. Owner on site, moves fast. Emma Bauer: "The sandwiches were great and the cannoli is one of the best I’ve tried in Chicago"

“First bite says everything and it was love”
The people who work here have become rude and indecent, straight up bullies who are clearly used to getting away with it.
This place shouldn’t be called a “grocery” store, more of a cramped deli.
Severely overrated… the sandwiches we tried (Mr G and the Veggie) didn’t taste like much and were extremely dry.

Tried a me G for the first time and it was amazing! Service was awesome and it’s such a good way to support small. I’ll for sure be back to try more of the menu.

“This place is really all that and some more.”
This place is really all that and some more! One thing I learn is to greet them first. Ask how their are doing before placing your order. They are super friendly and welcoming. When it comes to flavor, it definitely took me back to Italy. So yes this is the real deal. Must try if you’re coming to visit Chicago. PS I forgot to order a cannoli so I may have to go back. PSS I went back and they were amazing! Not overly sweet, just perfection!

“Bustling Italian deli that had a large lunch time crowd.”
Bustling Italian deli that had a large lunch time crowd. Long line moved fast and was efficient. I had the Mr. G and my wife had the artichoke sandwich, fantastic! The bread was soft on the inside with a perfect outer crust. The sharp provolone was the best I’ve had. Will definitely be back when in the area.

“Love that it’s like a mom & pop family style place.”
Love that it’s like a mom & pop family style place. Don’t find a lot of places like this anymore. Got the Mr. G sandwich and it was amazing. My first time here and would definitely come back. Keep up the great work!

“So far this is the best Italian sandwich I had in Chicago although i think Freddy's was better.”
So far this is the best Italian sandwich I had in Chicago although i think Freddy's was better. They make their cold cuts in house. It had a slightly weird after taste and I still think I can find better. The ambiance was awesome - I felt like I went back 40 years in time.

Absolute 5/5! I've been wanting to visit J.P. Graziano for years. The owner greeted every person who walks in and every team member I spoke to was so friendly. I got the tuna sandwich, which was divine. Everything tasted fresh and the love that is put into this deli shows in every aspect. I cannot wait to visit again.

“I got the Italian sub no tomatoes and it was really good.”
I got the Italian sub no tomatoes and it was really good. Top sandwich spot in the city. $20 for sandwich, Dr pepper, and chips. They also had a lot of Italian goods. I did a review for my YouTube channel "Mailman Nick"
