Italian market & sandwich shop famous for subs & giardiniera
"In Chicago’s West Loop I watch the assembly line at J.P. Graziano’s build the Mr. G with ritual precision — prosciutto di Parma draped, a housemade truffle mustard vinaigrette applied, and Roman artichokes piled on — a combination that keeps locals devoted to this decades-old shop (in business since 1937) that now also doubles as a Lollapalooza after-party and pop-up favorite under fourth-generation owner Jim Graziano." - Kayleigh Ruller
"This place has been around since 1937, and its industrial-looking exterior doesn’t seem to have changed much since then. But inside are some of the best Italian subs and sandwiches in the city. You can order at the counter and eat there, or take yours to go. The Italian is our favorite, but you can’t go wrong with anything else (the muffaletta is another good choice). Go ahead and get a cannoli, too—dessert shouldn’t just be for after dinner." - adrian kane
"This old school sandwich shop is open for delivery only." - adrian kane
"One of my favorite deli's in the city!! J.P. Graziano imports high quality cheese and meat for their classic italian subs. My favorites are the classic Italian and the artichoke. They use freshly baked bread by D'amatos on Grand and also have a good packaged good selection. A great family business that has been around 40+ years. Go support them!" - Linsey Rosen
"The sandwiches at J.P. Graziano are so incredible, we had a friend fly across the country with a muffaletta in their carry-on, eat it the next day, and still declare it the one they’ve ever had. This iconic family-run Italian deli and sub shop in the West Loop has been around since 1937, long before the West Loop was the Disney World of restaurants. The industrial-looking exterior hasn’t changed since the neighborhood was full of meatpacking warehouses, and inside they’re making some of the most delicious Italian subs and sandwiches in the city. And now that J.P.’s takeout window is open until 1am on the weekends, it provides a way better late-night option than we deserve." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
