Fiorello Bakery & Deli — Restaurant in City of Albany

I'm leaving three stars because of the good service and friendly people. However, the food left me unimpressed. I usually try different places when I'm in the area. Google search had this establishment come up within the first few options for Italian pastries. Since I hadn't had lunch, I decided to get a sub in addition to cannolies. Now I'm thinking this is a authentic Italian bakery and deli so I was pretty excited to have a good experience. I ordered an Italian combo sub.

Cannolies from Hannafords supermarket should not taste better than an authentic Italian bakery/deli IMHO. This deli has alot of great reviews but this was not...

I was in the area for my favorite eyebrow threading lady but she was a bit busy so I came here for a snack. I ordered the pasta fagiole and a wedding cookie. The service was top notch and accommodating. The soup was hearty and the bread that came with the soup was so fresh. What a delicious, filling meal. I have had hard unfresh bread numerous times in Albany and to get fresh bread I wasn’t expecting...
