Calabresella's New York Style Deli — Restaurant in Town of Gates

I've been up and down the East Coast many times I've never found anything that came close to what Dominic and his family has to offer calabresella's little deli just a small Mom and Pop's Italian deli anything they have to offer it's to die for there's really no way to explain it the closest I can come is the Steak Subs it's like pure ecstasy in your mouth the XXX aged sharp provolone takes every bit of water out of your mouth your mouth cheeks touch each other the best cheese I've ever tasted come the holidays they always make specialty Italian sausages stuffed with all kinds Cheese's spinach hunks of garlic stuffed into a ultra thin casing so you don't have to chew the hell out of a Italian sausage cooked on the grill it melts in your mouth that's just one of the many things they have and they do have a variety every kind of sub imaginable they will make it if it's not up there on the board roasted peppers done just right soaking in oil and garlic all kinds of salads all homemade nothing out of a bag and then we get to the desserts the cannolis & Cookies out of this world fresh Italian bread and it's Altra clean you can call and have it made and take it to go or they have a nice little section cut off so you can sit and eat it definitely deserves more than five stars I would...

Stopped there for my first time today and got 2 subs and some spicy Italian sausage for dinner tomorrow. First thing I would like to say that its a very cool store! A lot of specialty groceries sold there from local businesses, excellent meats and deli. Wasn't very impressed with the subs though. They take your order and then bring your subs to the cashier when they're finished. I ordered 1 ham and swiss and 1 Italian assorted. The prices were very reasonable. When I got home i saw they made a turkey and swiss instead of ham which was very disappointing. The ratio of bread/meat/cheese was way off. The meat alone was about 2 inches thick but there was the thinnest, tiniest slice of cheese in the middle lol. If that's how you like your sub, this will be the perfect place for you but I was greatly disappointed. I might not be back for subs but I'll definitely stop there for fresh meats and other items.

One of the few places in town where you can still get a killer sub like back in the day. A proper meat to bread ratio unlike a lot of sandwich shops out there that for some reason believe that the bread, while important, is the star. Beyond that I had a holiday emergency this year. I accidentally had 6 pounds of Zweigles shipped to myself instead of my father in Georgia. I called in that night freaking out because Christmas was right around the corner but it was late already. I called in again the next day and spoke with Deena(?) who was extremely helpful considering the mistake was all on my end. I cannot say enough good things about this business and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best deli...
