Rocky's NY Deli & Italian Catering

FINALLY!!! I finally got to check this one off my list, and it was so worth the two year wait! First off, you are greeted as soon as the little bell rings over the door by someone behind the counter, instantly making you feel at home. The delicious smells fill your nose, while your eyes get to work scanning the coolers and the pastry displays....oh and the salami's hanging from above ain't too shabby neither!! So, then, you look at the handwritten chalk board menu items and instantly say "well, if this foods good, I'm definitely coming back for ....that one...oh, and that one...well damn, maybe that one too!!" So, you place your order. Today, my son (he's 21 and loves a good Sammich), and I ordered both, the Brenda and Eddie (Dj, cue the Billy Joel!) We got lucky and grabbed a table as another happy group left...eyes hitting the boards once more as they past the counter of temptation. If you've read this far, here is the best part! As we unwrapped our Brenda and Eddie...our eyes went wide, our noses went "WOOOOHOOOOO" and then, our mouths...the luckiest part of the face today for sure. Our mouths would have said (if they weren't so busy chewing). THANK YOU! or HOLY CRAP, THIS IS WICKED GOOD. So, do your eyes, nose, and mouth a huge favor...get to Rocky's and grab some eats. Side note....as a lifelong Red Sox fan....the newspaper clipping of the '86 series hurt just a little bit, but the food made up for it.....almost.

This place is out of this world. Legit, the best sandwiches you can ask for. Hearty and filling, but tasty and packed full of flavor. The chopped cheese is probably my favorite because of the size and flavors, for a great price. Cheesiness in every bite. The pastrami is absolutely delicious, but that chopped cheese still won for my favorite sandwich. We were in town for a week and went 3x. That should tell you just how great this place is. They do get very busy and they also take a while to make, but good food takes time. The staff are always friendly. I will 100% go back anytime we are in town.

Great lil spot almost hiding away! I got the chopped cheese and half pastrami to go. It was pretty dang good. For my taste, the chopped cheese was almost too salty (but delicious!), and the rye bread on the pastrami was… I’m not sure, but it kind of ruined the sandwich for me. It was a bit dry and just crumbled apart as I ate it. But THE MEAT, was on point. 👌 The prices kept me from coming back a second time, but that chopped cheese was priced right. 👏 I was hoping they’d have tongue, but maybe in a future visit. 😉

We really enjoyed our first experience here. My boyfriend purchased the Reuben and I got the Sandwich that is like a French Dip. I also tried the homemade Tomato soup. Everything was Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. My stepfamily is from Astoria, NY and I'm so happy to find our happy place now for subs, sandwiches, and homemade soups. I will be back this week to try your homemade minestrone if yall are still making it.

Terrible business etiquette. I put in an order for 2 pounds of seafood salad for Christmas Eve. When I got home with the order I noticed that the container was not full. I decided to weigh the order because I paid 64$ for 2lbs of seafood salad and it visibly looked light. The receipt said 2lbs of seafood salad at 32$ a pound. Actual weight showed less than 1.25 pounds. I called the owner because I believed this was an honest mistake and that maybe one of the containers was accidentally missing from the order. The owner informed me that even though he charges $32 a pound, the actual weight may vary because he actually charges 64$ by quart volume and not by weight. I informed him that in either case I got taken advantage of, the quart wasn't full and I was missing 3/4 of a pound. He told me that this is how it goes, that I need to educate myself on how quart containers work, and that I was the only person that ever weighed his product. I am well versed in NY deli etiquette and typically you pay per pound for what you order. The product is put into a quart container and weighed. Sometimes you get more, sometimes less, but you always pay for what you get. Or there is a set price for a quart container which should be full. This deli confidently charges you for what you don't get, in this case I paid 64$ for 1.22lbs of seafood salad. As the owner said, this is not a mistake and what the customer should expect. The owner said he didn't have time to argue with me and I got refunded for the missing 1lb but the owners attitude shows that this was no mistake and more customers should be aware that they may be getting taken advantage of. Will never order from them again. Bad business etiquette.

Delicious sandwiches! Spotless and adorable! Definitely worth a field trip from Savannah.

What a great find this is! I had the Big Shot sandwich (1/2 pastrami, 1/2 corn beef) which was SO flavorful. The meats are made fresh at the deli. The service was great, very helpful and friendly. If we lived in Savannah, we would go there all the time.

I love this place. Has such a great atmosphere and the Brenda sandwich was very delicious. I find it to be very special since I’m originally from New Jersey in a town outside of New York. The owner was even my teacher for a driving class years ago at A to Z driving school which I also found very special.

Rocky's Deli is a true hidden gem in Savannah, and after featuring them in an episode of Savannah's Nooks and Crannies, I can see why the locals love it so much. We ordered The T--dry-cured Gabagool, soppressata, mortadella, provolone cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomato, and a red wine vinaigrette, all served on a hero. This sandwich was stacked and full of flavor. The meats were top-notch--salty, savory, and perfectly complemented by the tangy vinaigrette. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and held up beautifully to all that filling. At $18.99 for a full or $11.99 for a half, it's worth every penny for the quality and the experience. Rocky's itself is a no-frills, old-school spot that's all about the food--and they deliver big time. If you're looking for a sandwich that's as authentic as it gets, you need to try The T.

This place is a close as one can get to an authentic NY deli in Savannah. Love the menu items inspired by the iconic Sopranos series. I found both sandwiches I've tried to be quite good. It may just be the cost of everything seems to have gone up these days but the menu items seemed to be quite pricey. Despite that this place is a fan favorite with many Savannah folk - I've never seen this place not packed. Get yourself a veal parm and "fugget-about-it!"

Great service even when there is a long line. Best subs in the Savannah area hands down. They even have a small deli and frozen crab and lobster raviolis that fuck. This place is a must try.

Best NY deli in greater Savannah, hands down!!! Don't expect low cost, but it is worth it to get an authentic NY treat! The sandwiches are super quality and very large, enough for two meals (to share on spot or to take half sandwich home for second meal). Ingredients are legit. Proper cheese and deli meats. I understand they make their own pastrami! Bread is fresh and tasty. You can see the quality meats at the counter...this isn't a subway chain-like store! My DOUBLE-DECKER was amazing! Pastrami (1/2lb) & Corned Beef (1/2lb), melted Swiss cheese, coleslaw on Jewish rye with homemade Russian dressing. This is a ton of tasty meat! See my picture. My friend ordered the VITO SPATAFORE. He's a regular here and this is his favorite. I tried it, and it was really good! Breaded chicken cutlet, soppressata, provolone cheese, arugula, roasted red pepper with red wine vinaigrette on a hero. You can get chips for your side, but you would miss out on their delicious PASTA SALAD. As a proper NY deli, they also make CANNOLIS. Ours was very good, and had a slight citrus zest note, which is typical for Italian cannolis. The shop is in a strip, nothing glamorous on outside, and you would likely pass by if you didn't know what it was (don't pass by). The interior is small, but they have a few tables. I think they get a lot of take out orders, and it was easy to find tabke at peak lunch time, but was only here once, and it was on New Years Eve day so not representative. Don't expect fast food. It didn't take overly long, but you do sit down while they prepare the food. Good food is worth the wait!

I only stopped in to get a couple of pounds of their potato salad. The sandwich menu looked very impressive. Watched the guys make some sandwiches as I waited. They also have a nice selection of frozen take out pasta. I am definitely putting this on my sandwich list while in Skidaway.

Legitimate Italian Deli. I had a chicken cutlet with fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers. The service was great, and it was nice to meet the friendly staff. There are tables surrounded by great pictures. Enjoy.

These guys make incredible sandwiches. I keep meaning to take a picture of my food but it never lasts that long. They're friendly, great comms catering or just having a quick breakfast, very impressed. I am visibly upset right now because the food is gone, I ate it. Please try the Turnpike, or the Fat Vito sandwich.

I had the pastrami and it was absolutely fantastic. It's a cute little deli, the baseball memorabilia was a great touch and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back to try some of their other sandwiches. Highly recommend.

Sandwich was so good it made me cry a little. I had the number 9- prosciutto and egg plant, never had those two things together and now it's my new favorite.

Time: Various. Breakfast and lunch. Ordered: Breakfast burrito, the big pastrami, chopped cheese, Eddie (pastrami and Swiss), potato salad, egg salad, and antipasto Pros: - Pastrami. That's all. -friendly staff. -clean restaurant. -lots of options for breakfast or lunch. -all day breakfast. -frozen prepared meals for purchase. -pastrami so good I mentioned it twice. Cons: - Good food takes a while. -Small restaurant. 5 small tables for indoor seating. -busy times get tight. -not in Tennessee where it needs to be.

This place is exactly what I've been looking for since moving to Savannah. As someone from the north east, it's been hard to find a place that does quality Italian subs. Although the prices are a little high for subs, I'll say the the ingredients and quality is amazing. I got the thanksgiving special, and I'm so sad it's not a regular item. I used to order thanksgiving subs from deangelo's and my neighborhood subshops back when I lived in Boston, and this was exactly what I needed. So good. The subs are huge! So I had two portions. My boyfriend got the T, and he was so happy. Literally everything about our meals were great. There was some confusion with me trying to order though. Online, it said the thanksgiving special was all week- but it wasn't available on the Friday I called. I ordered on Saturday, but there seemed to be some confusion with what the sub actually was and when I could order it (after 11am). Despite that, this place is legit. No other sub shop in Savannah compares. This is the ONLY place to get Italian subs

This place is out of this world. Legit, the best sandwiches you can ask for. Hearty and filling, but tasty and packed full of flavor. The chopped cheese is probably my favorite because of the size and flavors, for a great price. Cheesiness in every bite.

They do get very busy and they also take a while to make, but good food takes time. The staff are always friendly. I will 100% go back anytime we are in town.

I was looking for a place to grab lunch during my visit to Savannah. I am from NY originally. And someone recommended this place. From walking in the door to ordering to my first bite. It was amazing! Very friendly staff, sandwich was fresh and warm and full of flavor. I got the Ebbets Field (fried egg plant, prosciutto di Parma, herb ricotta and fresh mozerella). This sandwich may be one of the best I've had!! If you're in the area go check it out! I also love the setting and area, as there were plenty of options to sit down or grab a drink or purchase meals/authentic groceries. Worth it!!!

All excellent: food service. Great decor of New York. The staff greets you with professionalism. Grazie.

There is No better sandwich in Savannah Great bread...Super great meat Awesome shaved beef and dip

Great food The best Italian deli in Savannah Georgia with to go dishes and great connolly's

If your from NY living in Savannah and don't eat here are you even really from NY? The food is just like home they carry a lot of authentic Italian Items and omg the BEC is just like back home my personal fave is the Noah

Food was fantastic couldn't have asked for a better breakfast burrito. I even had to order a sandwich for lunch since the breakfast was so good.

The food is bloody amazing! I'm from the UK and have lived in Savannah for two years and am yet to find somewhere here which is super tasty. I find southern food really salty or over seasoned, the sandwiches here are none of that. I've been to NYC a few times and had sandwiches there, THIS is the same! Fat, juicy and banging!!! They're perfecto! We will be back for more. To top it off the customer service is great and I love all of the memorabilia on the walls.

I love this place ! I snagged , spinach raviolis, marinara, and whitefish spread to demolish at Sunday dinner. Service is always spot on and the food stellar!

The food and portions are great. The service was not fast but that's because they cook as you order & they were busy. Highly recommend!

It's simply the BEST Deli. Great service, and the most delicious sandwiches on the planet. I'm torn between telling everyone and keeping the secret. Based on the crowd, the secret is out! No pictures because we always devour our sandwiches before we can take pictures.

The only reason it's not a 5 star rating is the lack of seating. Food was excellent and the wait time wasn't bad considering the line. Well worth the wait time!

Good sandwiches and atmosphere. Staff was incredibly friendly and nice. They recommended us their personal favorites and walked us through their sourcing, all the way from NY! Our food came out pretty fast, even though the dining room was busy. I definitely will be going back to try other sandwiches. Cannoli was yummy, better than most I've had in Savannah!! They also offer togo boxes of mini cannolis for events/gatherings, which I think is super neat too

Just an add on to my earlier review of Rocky's. I forgot to mention they also offer frozen take home meals like ravioli, lasagna and other real Italian delicacies. The cannolis are amazing as well as other desserts. Service is always top notch too! Sometimes you might be lucky and find homemade meatballs! They also have house made mozzarella. They are always busy so if you want something special call ahead. They will do all they can to accommodate you.

Delicious new find! The 4 1/2 star rating, and discovering an unfamiliar spot, brought me here. You'll find this small, locally owned deli in the Sandfly area next door to Sandfly Family Dental. Today I ordered the half size sandwich, The Eddie. It was piled high with house made corned beef, Swiss cheese, spicy mustard and served on rye. This warm sandwich, with melty cheese and fresh rye, hit the spot! Yummy! I had a choice of sides to accompany - Cole slaw, Long Island Potato salad, Rotini Antipasto salad or chips with a pickle spear. The Long Island potato salad was tasty with a slight sweetness, a bit of a vinegar tang, a touch of bacon but was disappointingly void of the green onions on the description. Also, the pickle spear was not served with the sandwich. Be prepared to spend some time mulling over their menu of 15 signature sandwiches. The sandwiches range from $5.99 to $22.99 depending on half or whole. The $22.99 , The Big Shot, touts a pound of meat! They have plenty to choose from, as well as, several salad choices, a kids menu and about 4 desserts. Want breakfast? They have in house made bagels, breakfast sandwiches and an "ultimate breakfast burrito". Have them caterer your event as well: sandwich platters, appetizer platters, pastas, Classic italian dishes, salads, sides and desserts! Plenty to choose from at Rocky's NY Deli and Italian Catering! I'll return!

I know my friends love this place for lunch and catering, so I was surprised to be so disappointed in the breakfast. We ordered coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Coffee was ready immediately but the service on the sandwiches was so slow. I wanted my egg to be omelet style but after about 20 minutes, they came out and said they couldn't make it that way(?). Very strange. It probably took another 10-15 minutes for the sandwiches to come out. Sandwich was okay, but the bread was a little dry and after such a long wait, I had wished we just got fast food. To their credit, they did give us a free cannoli, which was a nice gesture. If I lived here and this was my first try, I would go back again because staff was friendly and tried to make it right.

One of best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had in Savannah. Fresh, hot and simply perfect.

I'm going to keep it short, sweet, and to the point. Rocky's of Savannah has the BEST - hands down - dog-gone breakfast burrito on the planet. Well.. at least in Savannah. The chipotle breakfast burrito made with scrambled eggs, shaved sirloin steak, american cheese, grilled onions, and potatoes is the best thing food wise I can find. Savannah takeout also helps with delivery. My work team orders these whenever we can. 5* all around - HIGHLY recommend. It is HUGE. And delicious.

So glad to have this place in town! Great sandwiches, cannoli and special items like pasta and canned goods from the northeast. Prompt, friendly service as well!

Pat's king of steaks has been dethroned. Rocky's is the new king. The Southpaw was tops. Tender well seasoned beef and cheese in every bite.

This little Italian spot is perfect for brunch or lunch. The ambiance is nice and makes you feel like you are in a real authentic Italian spot like it is. The staff is friendly and interacting with the customers. It makes you want to be a local and frequent customer. We got two of their top choice sandwiches, the original roast beef and the Vito spatafore. Both were delicious. They have a great little area to pick up Italian goods and great antipast selection as well. The cannoli was also a winner. Highly recommend!

Nice sandwich's good loyal staff very welcome informed workers quick paced good pastrami and corned beef sandwich everyday five stars

Was a great breakfast sandwich. Would give more stars but bacon was skimpy and not the best. Eggs were great. Cannoli were amazing.

THIS PLACE MAKES THE BEST SANDWICHES IN ALL THE LANDS! Seriously, we went here on a whim and we were MORE than impressed. I would eat here EVERY DAY if I could/lived in the area. First of all, great value for what you get. HUGE portions. Second, THEY ARE SO TASTY. They do not hold back on filling up their hoagies, and I appreciate that. Their sandwich combos are unmatched compared to anywhere I've ever been, they really know what they're doing. Keep in mind this is an east coast style shop, and the people working there are VERY east coast - they're nice, and get the job done, but don't expect southern hospitality here. It's been a month and I'm still dreaming of my food from here. TRY IT.

Best deli in savannah hands down. The owner bill is always there and ask you how you are and what you want before you're even to the register. Even when they're busy they get your order quickly and correctly. I usually get the steak breakfast burrito or the chop cheese and both are phenomenal. A great deli that contributes in a lot of ways to the wonderful local community.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my food because I ate it to quick! Wow! The freshness of the roast beef is amazing. Phenomenal! Can't wait to come back.

The chicken cutlet alla vodka. *does Chef's kiss* IT WAS SO DELICIOUS!.... And filling. It is one of their specials right now for $14.99. Really good. It's basically a chicken Parmesan sandwich, and I got it with chips. I would definitely get this again.

This place is the spot that reminds me of my trips to a New York Deli. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by the staff regardless of how busy they get. All of them work together as a team to get your food out asap. With that being said, you should definitely order ahead if you're working and want your lunch to be something special. Everything; from the Eli manning autographed football, to the photos of their heritage on the walls, even the blue disposable coffee cups; is ALL New York. I've had both their breakfast and lunch items: bagel with cream cheese and salmon was fresh, bacon egg and cheese bagel was better than my fathers (sorry dad), and their Philly? Get the medium if you just want to try it and the large if you're starving. This is the sub shop of sandfly.

DELICIOUS sandwiches and salads. We ordered #1 roast beef, provolone with bacon and #4 corned beef, swiss and mustard. Sandwiches you can order a half for $6 to 7.99 or a whole anywhere from 1199 and up. Each sandwich comes with a side of either potato salad coleslaw or pasta salad. We took one of each they were all delicious.

Great deli. Good selection. Love it. Go there often. Good service. Good location. 85 characters minimum for comments is stupid. My time is more valuable than that. I'll tell you what I think, or I won't .

Best place to go for Pork Roll!!! Bagels are da bomb! If you are from the Tristate area (NYC/NJ/CT), you will feel at home!

If this is what the food is like in New York, This Southerner might consider moving up there and becoming "a Damn Southerner like Bill be came a Damn Yankee"! Thank God I don't have to, since Bill brought the food to us with Rocky's. This food made my taste buds dance and my belly happy. The Sandwiches are almost as big as my face. Enjoy one of the best things out of New York in Savannah.

This place is truly one of the best Delis in Savanna. We had a great corned beef and a pastrami sandwich on rye bread with spicy mustard. The small side of sliced potato salad was a little funky but tasty. Maybe the slices are a New York thing. I couldn't tell if the screeching kid was an employee's child or a customer's. Clearly after 3 screeches you need to walk the child out of a restaurant and tell them if they wish to go back in, the screeching has to stop. Children need to be taught restaurant manners. We go to many restaurants with our 2.5 and 6 yr old grandchildren. They understand when we tell them you have to have restaurant manners. I noticed the child was given an electronic pacifier (cell phone) but not until we all endured 25 minutes of screeching. A distracting phone is not a replacement for good manners. Nice wall pictures of people and NY landmarks added to the Deli ambiance. A guy tried to order a pound of pastrami meat but they wouldn't sell it. They would sell him a sandwich if he wanted that. Had an excellent cannoli and a giant 2 tone frosted cookie for dessert. The cookie was a little dry. I love Gottlieb's but I can never remember what day of the week they have pastrami. Rocky's has a more permanent menu and places to sit. The bathroom was a little shabby but just needs a good cleaning. 5 stars for the food and service.

Delicious, felt like being back home in New York! My husband had an egg sandwich and I had an eggplant parm hero. The staff was very nice and it was quick service but didn't feel like we were rushed and the food was fresh.

We are 1st timers to Rocky's......which i seen on "Eat It and Like It",not bad at all Jesse!!! I recommend the #5 The big short,it was a small sandwich but very feeling. My wife enjoyed the philly cheese steak sandwich need i say more......yes indeed!!! The only thing that through me was the small container for the pasta salad and the customer service was very good

Attention! The only place to get a pork roll sandwich in Savannah. Pick it up and eat at Isle of Hope marina. Byok(etchup)

If you've never been to Rocky's, what are you doing? Sandfly local feel with Long Island flair- Rocky's is as authentic as it comes. Love a baconeggandcheese in the morning, and any of the specials
