Don’t mess with my childhood Italian deli! Frangella Italian Market of Palos Park, Illinois is always a stop when I visit home. Their subs feature delicious cold cuts and cheeses on a soft roll. I highly recommend the Italian sub and the Veggie sub. My family often shares our sandwiches because they can feed 1-3 people. In Chicago, that’s saying something.

The Italian sub (pictured above as half of the actual sandwich) consists of Volpi Genova Salame, Capicollo, Mortadella, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Oil & Vinegar.

The Veggie Sub (pictured above as half of the actual sandwich) includes Roasted Eggplant, Roasted Red Peppers, Provolone (I substitute for Fresh Mozzarella), Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Oil & Vinegar.

At Frangella’s, you can really get your “Italian” on. Did I mention that they make their own giardineira? This spicy condiment is a must-have on your Italian Beef sandwich or even pizza.

This place is the real deal and their deli is beyond compare. Check them out!
