Simply put, THE BEST! From their mozzarella that melts in your mouth to their new Bakery treats this is just an incredible, yet simple pleasure. The prices are wonderful, the ladies are incredibly nice and every thing is great tasting. Fish on Fridays, Pork Sandwiches with Gravy, and of course the 'Mama's Special' Italian Hero.

The same wonderful ladies are still running this authentic Italian deli, keeping the tradition and charm alive. If you're looking for true Italian food and products, this is the place to be.
I ordered the Mama's Special, a perfect combination of Prosciuttini, Salami, and Mozzarella with Mushrooms and Peppers. It was as amazing as I remembered—packed with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. Every bite took me back to why this deli has stood the test of time.
Leo’s Latticini is not just a deli, it's an institution. Whether you're a regular or it's been years since your last visit, the warmth and authenticity here never change. Highly recommend for anyone craving a...
