Hearty sandwiches, imported Italian delicacies, and fresh meats
"If you think roast pork sandwiches are good no matter the quality of the ingredients, go to Dattilo's in the Northeast to see how much better the sandwich can taste when the deli gives a f*ck. Their pork is thick cut, while the crunchy broccoli rabe and slices of sharp provolone give a sweet, earthy balance to the salty meat. Plan a walk or a picnic at Pennypack Park nearby." - candis mclean
"Hoagies at this Rhawnhurst deli are oversized—it’s like someone fed them the “Eat Me” cake from Alice in Wonderland. Hoagies can come in 12 inches or you can pay $0.25 for an extra foot, and they’re all excellent. This is why if you've stopped by during lunch hour, it may get as crowded as 2 Street on New Year's Day. The traditional Italian is the way to go here. The roll is soft yet has a beautifully crispy exterior, and each bite is overflowing with piles of thinly-sliced meat and cheese. Just be sure to save room for a bag of chips near the checkout line, because who’s eating a hoagie without them?" - alison kessler, candis mclean
"Dattilo’s is a small deli with excellent sandwiches that are perfect for a quick lunch or a picnic at nearby Pennypack Park on a sunny day. It’s also a great choice if you’re in the Northeast and have a craving for meat, bread, and cheese on a roll (we realize this could be daily). All of the sandwiches here are long (we’re talking the length of Joel Embiid’s forearm), and each is worth your attention. No matter what you go for, the meat will be thick-cut, perfectly balanced by toppings, and each bite will demonstrate the power of quality ingredients." - candis mclean

It’s a true demonstration of the power of quality ingredients, and if we don’t eat at least one a week, even our cats will notice how crabby we’ve become." - Candis R. McLean
