Reviews for The Real Italian Deli in Palm Desert, CA
"This is probably the most authentic Italian store in the valley" my friend said to me (he is from Venice Italy) and I tried... their turkey pesto and I loved it I tried getting other things but I keep getting the same thing cuz its so good. Ive heard thelasagna is good although I haven't tried it yet. They also have alot of a bomb mini pasitery section with really good cheesecakeand other desserts. Read more
Finally found the one! I?m from the east coast and had been around some real authentic Italian delis. This place is highly... recommended. Torpedo rolls are the real rolls you need to make areal sandwich. Crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. Read more
This deli requires 2 days notice to make 30 sandwiches? I was told that the "regional manager" has a policy that requires 48... hours notice because of the strain it would put on the staff...I hope that is not the case. Somehow TKB and Jersey Mikes canfigure out how to make 30 sandwiches within an hour yet it takes 2 days for this deli? Lost the business of a local forever.Food was great, management not so much.

I love the muffuletta on fresh focaccia. Comes with a green olive spread with a tiny kick on the top half and the bottom has a... tasty black olive tapenade. The deli meats are piled on with fresh, creamy cheese and the sandwich is finished in a paninipress. Amazing! They also have fresh made salads and Italian foods to go like lasagna and penne. The bakery turns out amazingbreads and authentic sweets. They carry Italian groceries and in the freezer section they have fresh tortellini, ravioli, pizzaand more. Great food and open 7 days.

A favorite place that I visit weekly. Normally, it's early in the day and always order the caprese sandwich on ciabatta and then... stroll over to the bakery & grocery sections for more goodies. Arrived late afternoon yesterday and was informed the deli couldonly sell what was pre-made in the case. If I wanted my favorite sandwich, it would cost $18.99 and not $12.99! First experienceof a deli charging an additional $6.00 for a regular menu item. Felt like more of a commissary dishing out food which wasdisappointing. I have been a customer since moving here over 3 years ago. The staff has always been pleasant, yet this newpolicy by the owner is less than desirable. Read more
My favorite sandwich and bakery shop! Tried all of their sandwiches and never got disappointed once
Absolutely incredible place. I try Italian sandwiches wherever I go and this was as good as any I've had. Bread was fantastic... and ingredients all top quality and so fresh. I'll be a regular from here on out. Great service as well. Ordered online andwalked out with food 15 mins later. Read more
What happened to the lasagna? It used to be 8 light flavorful layers of pure delight. The one I purchased yesterday was... flavorless and heavy. Even the extra sauce was bland. Read more
