Tony and Tina's Deli — Restaurant in Darien

UPDATE: 12/24/2024

Remember when I said the Finley was my favorite since it was in-house made roast beef?

Well, now they are making their turkey in-house too, which makes the Brayden a top choice too.

How do I decide now?! Easy, I just order both and call it a day. I love ordering the large and having them pressed the bread too…

The place is always festive and lively and the owners are some of the most wonderful people I know.

Should be your #1 go to place for flavor and kindness!

Go grab a sandwich, better grab a bunch/cater for the family/office.

Great deals, but better taste, and happy faces after eating them.

Thank you Tina & Tony :)

Previous review:

Friendly, clean and inviting! Both Tony and Tina are down to earth and great business owners who care and you can see it in their place and taste it in their food.

The top sandwiches are Tony's, Finley's and Brayden's so I got all 3 and the Paytyn's Choice Panini too.

I always love to get a selection of tastes so when I come back, I know what I love based on my mood.

Well, everything tasted great and delicious especially that self-made roast beef!!

If I had to pick a favorite it would be that Finley, but Brayden's Turkey is so good too.

Eat that crispy hot Paytyn's Panini hot as it was so flavorful and scrumptious as well.

I see why Tony's Italian is the most ordered as it is so satisfying with that assortment of meats.

I really enjoyed that clean potato salad and will have that with my orders from now on.

I didn't expect the chips and drinks with the sandwiches and was pleasantly surprised but mainly focused on eating those 4 sandwiches.

My only nitpick is that macaroni salad was not happening for me so will pass on that.

I look forward to trying the other options next time but probably going to always order the Finley no matter what and rotate the ones I just had or MAYBE another option.

Thank you Tony and Tina for opening up and being my go to sandwich place!!!

See you weekly...

I have been wanting to try Tony and Tina’s for a long time now on DoorDash. How funny, I saw an influencer do a review of the Tonys Choice. So, last night I ordered from them and WOW!!! You definitely got some weight holding that sub. But as soon as you open it you don’t even want to eat it because it’s so pretty!!! The quality is out of this world. No joke. I couldn’t even finish the sub so I gave the rest to my mom to try it out. Let me tell you. My mom was talking about that sub for hours. It’s the best one she had in her life she said. We have a deli walking distance from my house and this Deli has been on the NEWS, influencers have made videos on their products, and I have family members that drive far distance to go to this deli. But Tony and Tina’s? They make you want to say “goodbye, see ya later!!” To your usual deli joint. I know they are a new establishment. And that’s awesome!!! I would love to see on DoorDash maybe a “create your own sub sandwich” because my youngest sister only eats cheese and ham subs (I know, sad.) or an option to add additional toppings to the sub you are purchasing. My mom immediately told all her friends they need to try it and I’m telling you all....

Tried this place 3 times and won’t come back. Every single time I’ve been given my sandwich on stale bread. The meats and cheese are solid, the side dishes and deserts are good quality, and the people inside are always friendly. But a deli is ultimately about the sandwich, and $17 for a smaller sub on stale bread three times in a row is just not right. I’m an Italian from the tri-state area and can tell you this place wouldn’t hold up there. It pains me to say this about a local business and I wish them well, but next time I will pay $18 for a giant sub at Jersey-Mikes that is quite literally twice the size as this one with more consistent quality and...
