La Gioia Deli - Schenectady

First time there ordered 2 roast beef subs they were delicious

Greeted immediately upon entering, excellent customer service. Food was made with care and pride. Italian mix sub was amazing, thank you.

Beautiful Italian food and basic grocery store. To go food by order. Sauces pastas desserts along w ma y GF gluten free options.

Huge dissapintment. The service was very depressing. Places are busy, but in a restaurant/deli, learn to have some people skills and be friendly. Don't act like the customer is a burden to you. I walk in quietly and politely... joined the line and waited to order. Didn't mind the wait, which was short. The ladies were a bit more personable, the shorter and maybe only gentleman that was there looked like he either hates working there or he's the only guy, and the older ladies don't give him a break. Anyways, the cold cuts were good. I think it's some of the freshest around. The price was ridiculous, 8.75 for half-a- sub of salami and pepperoni with lettuce tomatoes and no mayo that i asked for or dressing. Good portion of salami and pepperoni , but the tomatoes soaked through the bread in the matter of 3 minutes. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY PLACES DONT TOAST THE BREAD. So I just threw the sandwich away before I even was able to eat it. So i apologize for not posting the pic. The quality of the place is excellent, and the ambiance is great. But the execution is flawed. I still gave a decent review because I do believe that it could be better. FYI: If you keep making eye contact with someone in line, they're going to think you're ready to take their order. Haha

The Italian sub is loaded with meats and cheese, this is not a skimpy sandwich!! The roll was fresh, with the right amount of crispy outside and chewy inside. Definitely worth the money!! The woman on the counter was friendly and fast, I was barely waiting 5 min for my sub. I work nearby and this is now my goto for sandwiches!!
