Just stopped in for the first time. I haven’t even eaten yet and I love this place. Owned/run by an awesome Italian family. Everyone seems to love the food!
My parents eat here all the time! I came with them tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed it!! Great service and delicious food!!
Fast and friendly service. The ‘ami is delicious and very generous on portion size. The Italian spinach was pretty good as well. We definitely be coming back!
What a gem! Wonderful meatball sandwich. Family atmosphere.
A real Italian deli actually exists in Memphis!. Today was my second trip to Vanelli’s. I had the Maiale Amore sandwich with a side order of their spicy slaw. This sandwich is everything that a real sub lover wants. There was the fresh white bread, the trio of salted cured meats, and a homemade Italian mayo that was a revelation. I typically would forego mayo as a travesty and go with the Italian dressing. But, I heard that it was homemade and decided to simply add the dressing to it. This was a real sandwich. If you are tired of Subway and Jimmy John’s and want something more, this is the place. The spicy slaw was a unique version of the Southern classic. It was a little bit spicy(a good thing), but there was some seasoning in it that I could not place. Overall, it was good, but don’t expect it to taste like any slaw you have ever had. On my previous visit I got the meatball sub to go. I instantly regretted not getting the large after one bite. There was no doubt that the meatballs and the sauce were made in house. Truly terrific! On both visits the service was friendly and quick. I enjoy their informal setting, that allows you to eat and run, or sit for a while. This place is fantastic.
Great Food. @Macho Libre their prices are a little more because alot of their items are homemade, meats and cheeses are Volpi, and they are a small family owned business. They by far have better quality food than a subway or lennys. I have tried the majority of their items and have not been disapointed once. The pimento cheese, chicken salad, and tuna salad are all homemade. THey make their own mayo, italian dressing, and honey mustard. The meatballs and italian sausage are a family recipe they have been making for generations. The ravioli is better than anyones. The dough, stuffing, sauce, and even the ricotta cheese is all homemade. I truly do not think you will be disappointed. The speciality sandwiches are the best!
Sandwich was fine, a little bit on the pricy side for what you actually get. For example, Lenny’s gives you more meat and toppings, and is larger for the same price. Nice quiet atmosphere.
