Fino's Italian Deli & Catering

The guy behind the counter was the only thing great about this trip to Fino’s. I used to come here regularly for about 20 years. Haven’t been in since at least 2021. The place is so different. The prices are outrageous, two mediocre sandwich combos for $56. Like I said the guy behind the counter was really nice. When my husband accidentally threw away half of my sandwich I was going to take home the man made me another half a sandwich to go. Which he did not have to do. But that doesn’t change the fact that next time we come it will still be 56 dollars for 2 sandwiches chips and drinks which I find completely overpriced and the sandwich should be spectacular at that price and they are not.

The BEST sandwich on Earth!!! Hands down, no contest. I haven't eaten here in 15 years, although I've considered having a sandwich fedex'd a million times since then😆 It's still just as good as way back then. The bread is insane, incredible cheese & the olive spread makes the whole thing. Run - don't walk to Fino's!!!

A true gem. Fino’s offers delicious Italian cuisine at great prices. The pasta dishes are fantastic. The atmosphere has a charming bustle. It’s no wonder so many locals frequent this midtown deli. This deli is busy for a reason! If you’re on a tight lunch schedule, try to arrive as early as you can and even then you may have to wait a bit. Lunch time really picks up for these guys and it’s obvious they work hard to get orders out in an efficient and timely manner. Adding to this, I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to appreciate their work ethic and commitment to customer service. It is simply outstanding. I have worked several service industry jobs and to see such a well mannered crew putting together my lunch, taking great care and effort to get it right, adds a delightful element to my experience each time I come here. It cannot be understated how much I enjoy being a patron of Fino’s. GO EAT HERE!!

This sub “Penn Station” was perfect. Bread held up 3-4 hours no sign of sogginess. Legit 10/10 just need better drink options. Pasta Salad (not pictured) was good compared to other deli shops.

Have been coming to Finos for at least 15 years . Stopped in today for my usual tuna or veggie sandwich . They were out of tuna so no biggie went for my veggie . While veggie nothing special . Got to the shop and was hit with a $21.95 bill . For a single friggin sandwich. I love you finos and you’ve been a Memphis institution. I also get rising costs and the need to provide a livable wage to employees but there’s a ceiling to pricing and what people will pay for sandwiches and the value just isn’t here anymore at 22 dollars. This is akin to a local coffee shop trying to charge 10 dollars for a cappuccino . Wont be returning anymore and I highly encourage anyone else to pursue alternatives for your dollars .

2025 update: What was once a beloved spot of mine is no longer enjoyable. They've changed their bread, changed their prices, changed their pizzas, and changed their side offerings and dessert offerings. Spent $40 on two sandwiches and a pizza only to be extremely disappointed in the quality of all three products. Goodbye, old friend. Old review: I continue going here because I love the sandwiches, and they remind me of the sandwiches made at my Sicilian grandfather's deli. However, my order is messed up 9 times out of 10. I think it would be excusable if they were busier or if there weren't so many people working. I feel like the midtown business has gone down hill since the opening (then closing) of their Poplar location.

Any time I’ve called finos for a pickup order in the past few months, if they even answer the phone, they act like they are closing down no matter the time of day. What’s the point of ordering in and paying for something that gets two stars simply for having fresh meat and cheese? Bread is dry, thick and tasteless; barely any meat or cheese to speak of; a sprinkle of lettuce with “tomato and onion dressing” lacking tomato, onion, and flavor. It’s not worth the money when Fino’s has become so hit or miss. Used to be so good!!

Dear God in Heaven this place is friggin amazing! From the outside, Fino's doesn't look like much, and is easy to pass by. With that said, this place lets it's fresh made bread and onion-tomato stuff of legendary awesomeness say everything the simplicity of this place doesn't. The price is more than reasonable and you definitely get what you pay for. All of the meats and cheeses are sliced fresh and piled high. I ordered a half sandwich since I'd never been here, and I'm glad I did. Unless you are a competitive eater, I'd recommend doing the same. The half sandwich is big enough to fill me and my guy up. I'd definitely come back again and again to this awesome little Italian deli!
