“Friendly service. Real good meats and cheeses. I'll be back The best sandwiches in Addison”
“Always a friendly, comfortable, local lunch venue with colleagues. The service is outstanding. Even the deli foods are reasonably priced.”
“This is it. Sorry Johnny's, Dirty has a new favorite beef spot.”
“Probably one of the best sub shops in North America. Had the Italian beef — insanely juicy, loaded with spicy giardiniera. Il miglior panino, hands down, made by a vero italiano. Molto grazie! 🇮🇹🥖”
“Great place with traditions...here is an update to my previous review...it's still a beautiful 😍 ❤ place....it's 2025.”
“This is a absolute Gem of a restaurant, old School Italian Deli, with pretty much all the food being to die for. In all of Chicago these Margarita pizza are my favorite and in my opinion the best in all of Chicagoland. Its a 40 minute trip for me to get here, that is how great I think it is. Service is the best, family owned and operated. Oh, and pricing, I don't know how they keep the prices so reasonable, especially after the last few years of inflation. Don't second guess stopping, you will love it, this place is amazing!”
“Serino has some of the best sandwiches you can find. We went with the Italian and meatball subs today. A+ The service is impeccable! #supportlocalrestaurants”
“Best deli around. Had a phenomenonal muffaletta. Very high quality ingredients”
“Being born and raised from The Bronx, NY, there’s few things in life that make me happier than a good Italian deli. First things first, the gentleman that took my order was a class act. Really nice guy. The place itself is fantastic. My only knock is the lack of meat in my sandwich. I’m used to a real significant ham:cheese ratio. They missed the mark there. It’s a big deal for me, but giving it 3 stars would’ve felt wrong. Fortunately, the bread was great to make up for it. Ingredients are fresh. I’ll be back tomorrow to try one of their hot sandwiches.”
“You put mayo on my sandwich I specifically asked you not to. You told me "I don't think it comes with mayonnaise but let me put no mayo just to be sure". Low and behold the thing is covered in mayonnaise. Inedible.”
