Tony's Italian Deli & Subs

“What a hidden gem.”

What a hidden gem. After being told to go multiple times, I finally did. I was NOT disappointed. You are immediately transported upon entering to the smells of Italy. The amount and variety of authentic product is amazing. The fresh subs. Well, boy oh boy, you're missing out. I cannot wait to go back. UPDATE: I WENT BACK! I bought sliced deli meat to make homemade mufalettas, and the meat is SO FRESH! So good! The Tonys Brand Olive spread! Yes! But, the fresh sandwiches! I got the hot beef combo with cheese. It ruined me! I'll never have a better Italian Beef Combo. EVER AGAIN unless it's from here!! My only complaint is that they aren't open 24/7 to be able to ALWAYS satisfy my cravings of all the great stuff they have!!! Keep up the great work folks!!!

Whhhaaaaat. I've had many a sub at this place over the years. Very tasty. Today I decide to get an Italian on focaccia. Game changer. Easily feed a few. Best sandwich ever. Chocolate tiramisu was also so delicious. In the neighborhood it's a legend. If your not close..... trust me this place is worth a cruise if you want authentic Italian.... anything.

Always a great experience at Tony's! The variety of Italian imports is incredible and the store's team are friendly and helpful. I stocked up on some goodies for Easter early.

Ordered a 36" Italian sub for my husband's birthday after seeing this deli mentioned in an article by the Infatuation Chicago. Delicious, affordable and huge!

“Super super cute family owned spot.”

Super super cute family owned spot! Not a lot of great deli’s in the area but this was an awesome stop. The staff is SO kind! Although we only tried the deli food the market was well stocked and I look forward to getting supplies to make an authentic Italian dish! Highly recommend

“Authentic Italian deli.”

Authentic Italian deli. The Italian sub is one of a kind. Meatball sandwich is the best. Imported grocery items. Full catering available. Family owned and operated. Friendly staff. Must visit when in Chicago.

“Who doesn't love Tony's? It's a neighborhood traditional treasure with delicious homemade foods and imported goods.”

Who doesn't love Tony's? It's a neighborhood traditional treasure with delicious homemade foods and imported goods. I always buy the fettuccine alfredo, manicotti, foccacia, potato salad, and then I make sure to get some chocolate rolls and cheese rolls at the checkout counter. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate that they label the meatless frozen homemade dishes. They do have some gluten free items, but note that their kitchen is not fully gluten free (they have this posted too). The staff are friendly and will recommend items or direct you to something if you have questions. One more thing: you can also purchase some nice gifts here, many are Italian themed. These include espresso cups, mugs, kitchen towels, t-shirts, flags, pens, and more. A friend bought a set of espresso cups on his recent visit and says they're of good quality. P.S. If you thought this was a good review, could you please "like" it? That would help me get to the next Local Guide level. Thank you!

“Always the absolute bomb!!”

Always the absolute bomb!!! Tonys is the best. As you walk in, it’s like you somehow walked into Italy. Your senses are delighted by all things Italian! Honestly, it’s just a great experience in the entirety.

“Came here about 3 times now.”

Came here about 3 times now. I am new to the neighborhood. Great prices and everything was fresh on my sub, but I did feel as the bread has been a little bit on the hard side each time.

“The Italian and meatball were good.”

The Italian and meatball were good. Nothing to write home about, while meeting your sub needs. The bread had a noticeable buttery flavor.
