Gandolfo's New York Deli — Restaurant in Omaha

I've been eating at Gandolfo's for several years now. I first discovered Gandolfo's by Baxter Arena, but have since eaten at all the locations. The food quality is always very high, filling, and delicious!

On this particular day, I went with my dad and two of my older children. When you first walk into Gandolfo's, you'll notice the menu. It's massive - takes up the whole wall and must have at least 60-80 items or so. It's sorted by meat to make it easier, along with a recommendation on whether the sandwich is better hot or cold. You can also order all sandwiches as a 6" or a 12" (even though I think the sandwiches are bigger than that). Gandolfo's also allows you to make it a combo and add a chip, side, or dessert plus a drink. The sides vary but they have potato salad, a broccoli and cheddar salad, and others. On this trip, I got a cookie and everybody else took the chips. Even though I didn't get it this time, the salads are pretty good.

My son got the Godzilla, a spicier sandwich which includes turkey, chicken breast, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, onions, mayo, and sriracha sauce. This is my son's and wife's go to order EVERY time they come. They never get anything different. It's weird (because of all the choices), but miraculous because the sandwiches are that good!

My dad got the French dip, which comes with provolone, mayo, and au jus. Simple, but also pretty good. He actually couldn't finish it so I had some and it was good. Tender, juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning!

I got the New Yorker, which actual was the first time I've ever gotten it, but it didn't disappoint either. It comes with roast beef, pepper jack, feta, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, butter, mayo, oil and vinegar (I removed the last two). Wow, it was better than I imagined. I had hoped to get a unique flavor from the feta and banana peppers and it was really good. No wonder it's considered one of the specialty sandwiches.

My daughter got the Mac and cheese from the kids menu.... Nothing spectacular, but I don't think your expectations can be that high on kids menu mac and cheese.

But in reality, everything I've ever tried is good here. And if you're looking for something besides traditional deli subs, they also have breakfast sandwiches all day, hot dogs, and others.

On this particular visit, the person helping in the lobby was amazing. Our receipt said "Kevin C"and I hope that's who it was, because he deserves recognition. He was very friendly and outgoing, helping people decide on the menu and answering questions about sandwiches. The group in front of us and my daughter hadn't eaten there before and he helped them right along. Super friendly too and spectacular customer service! I overheard one exchange when a mother mentioned to him that her daughter had ordered pop and probably should of got milk. The mother said "but it's OK" to which he replied, "No, it's not" and that she should have milk. He went to the back and got the girl her milk and she started eating her cookie. Kevin was wonderful all around and is an asset here.

If you come to Gandolfo's, the food will be awesome and you will get full. And if you get Kevin assisting you, it really is a jackpot! Well...

I hadn't eaten here in years, but was pretty disappointed with what we got today. We ordered for pickup at 4:15, but it was obvious that the order had been prepared at least 15 minutes before because the one hot sandwich we had was not even warm but had melted cheese. The other sandwich had bread that was crumbly and didn't seem fresh.

The sandwiches were not very well made with the ingredients all sliding towards the centre in spite of there not being enough condiment/seasoning on them. Compared to another sandwich place I had recently it was absolutely sub-par, especially for the $30+ it cost us for 2 sandwiches with no chips or drink. I will not be going back to a Gandolfo's, and for the value I would recommend practically...

I came on Sunday for breakfast because the place around the corner had a line. The food here is great, and if they expanded their breakfast menu to more than sandwiches I'm sure they would draw a crowd too! (Maybe they just don't want to deal with dishes? My sandwich came out wrapped in paper even though I was eating in.) When I saw it was a deli I expected corned beef hash, omelettes, etc. That all being said, the breakfast sandwich I had was excellent. They were fine with substituting one meat for another, so I had the Huevos Locos sandwich with turkey instead of sausage. Sandwich plus coffee and a tip was $8. I can see...
