Absolutely phenomenal pizza. The crust is perfect. The sauce has that right kind of tang. We did the gyro and the margarita, both were outstanding. The service is top notch. The place is spotlessly clean. We will be coming back through. Great place, great food, can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

1st visit here from a local 3/2/26 12:30 PM . Not to busy. Place was clean and staff attentive. The wife and I reviewed the menu online and decided on our order prior to entry.*Do this before you go inside as the entire sandwich menu is NOT posted. If you don't, then get the printed menu off the ordering counter and get out of the way while you decide. Don't forget to select a side that comes with the sandwich. Know what you want BEFORE you get to the counter so you don't hold everyone else up. My New Yorker with both meats comes with a dab of spicy brown mustard and toasted bread. It's very dry. They do provide additional condiments to the right of the ordering counter on a shelf. I added more mustard but would order it again with no mustard and thousand Island dressing on the side. I would also ask that the bread not be toasted. The wife's Italian hero was excellent as were her potato side order. $34.50 for two sandwiches and a drink. About average for a lunch anymore. *Note this review was completed without using ridiculous un-discriptive terms like out-of-bounds, OMG, on point, awesome, the bomb, yummy, delish, to die for, do yourself a favor, trust me, flavorful, or kids emojis etc.. Describe the food, service (or lack of) and provide details on the cost/copy of check and include pictures! Is the place clean? No disrespect to the employees, but no one cares about the waiter/waitress/clerk names, or if they look like they fell face first into a tackle box. They get changed like underwear and you don't get to pick one. We don't care about your allergies, vibes, how "chill" you feel, or the need for gluten free food. **If you see a Google review posted with just stars & no text, report it via the 3 dot selection adjacent to the review. If the text in the review doesn't describe the food/service report it. This cleans up Google reviews and removes the slugs just trying to get reviewer points by marking a star or "paid" reviewers. Process: Select - Report review. Select- Not helpful at the bottom of the drop down menu. If the review doesn’t help people decide whether to utilize this business or go to this place it's worthless. We will return and try some other items.

This is a wonderful deli/café. Great food and has a wonderful desert bar. They have beer and wine offered and ice-cream bar as well. Was very impressed. Oh... they have oil from Italy that you may purchase, when you buy the beautiful bottle. I was told that I could bring the bottle back, when it is empty, and purchase more. Looking forward to cooking with it. . You can see by there menu... great selection.

Food is always great. Serving sizes are large and price is reasonable. They have a great food selection. The gelato is some of the best around.

I really enjoyed the food here. The meatball sub was huge and one of the best I’ve had! I also liked the cannoli and eclair. My only complaint was that the Italian hoagie was pretty messy and not well put together. I plan to come back and get it on a sub instead to see if there’s a difference. Great spot overall.

A quaint deli with a fun variety of sandwiches and huge variety of desserts, pizzas, and soups. While I didn't get to try the gelato this time, I am eager to get my hands on it in the next visit. It was just too hard to say no to the Choco Hazelnut Mousse. I got a Reuben with a side of Macaroni which was pretty good, but my sister's Pizza was the best. Hope to be back the next time we're in Fredericksburg area.

Basilico New York Deli is a precious spot to eat at. I highly recommend the Chicken Picatta as well as the New Yorker sandwich Chef Mateo is an amazing cook. Also a great place to work at 10/10 will definitely be back again.

Came here on the recommendation from a coworker. Kids loved it, I loved it. Got some different sandwiches and a pizza to share. The New Yorker, a cold American and a pizza. All good.
