"In addition to offering the best Italian wine selection outside of Italy, this iconic Northeast market/deli serves delicious (and affordable) subs and hot sandwiches like classic Italian and chicken Parm for around $7. A. Litteri also serves lasagna, pasta, and soups." - Tierney Plumb
"This traditional Italian deli has been around since 1926, and in its current location near Union Market since 1932. A favorite of nearby workers, the deli is known for its Italian cold cuts and market full of canned goods, dry pastas, olive oils, vinegars, and wines." - Tierney Plumb
"Known for affordable, classic Italian subs at the back deli counter, this nearly 100-year-old Italian specialty shop also has prepared salads, logs of spicy salami, stuffed peppers and olives, and a huge selection of imported cheeses and meats that deli workers are happy to slice up for snacking. Don’t leave without some mini cannolis or a slice of tiramisu, and feel free to peruse the extensive wine and Italian soda section on your way out. Picnic tables outside Union Market make for a great spot to chow down on your Italian snacks, but adventurous picnickers can drive or bus over to the U.S. National Arboretum for an idyllic backdrop during your outdoor meal." - Emily Venezky
"This Italian market near Union Market has been a low-key destination for Italian hoagies for many years, with affordable sandwiches and a surprisingly extensive wine shop. The classic sub features a mixture of capicola, Genoa salami, mortadella, prosciutto, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, hot peppers, and Italian seasoning." - Tierney Plumb
