Sam's Italian Deli is a Fresno staple! Their quick service makes it a great option to pop in for a sandwich. I got the focaccia sandwich and garlic parmesan fries that were both delicious. I also grabbed a trio of cannolis that were crispy and fresh. We sat in the back of the store at the tables while watching the employees make handmade pastas. I'll be back soon to grab fresh pizza dough and pasta sauce!

Cassidie is the BEST! We ate at Nick's Café and she was the best server. She is so friendly and belongs in a sitcom or on stage. Her personality is just beautiful. We asked a lot of questions and found out she was not from here but from the coast. She was so knowledgeable and shared with us that their chips are homemade and that we could purchase them to go. I was actually there yesterday and found this out and today I came back to purchase two orders of their homemade kettle chips. I also found out that their pastas are made on Thursday and then frozen so I got several boxes of various pastas to take to my son's house today. Our sandwiches were huge even though we ordered small. I had enough for yesterday and today. I highly recommend coming here for lunch as they close at 5 o'clock, unfortunately.

Today we were seated quickly at lunchtime on a Friday. One of my friends and I had salads for lunch. I had a cappuccino beforehand since it was a bit chilly outside when we came in. Yum yum. You can taste Italy here; it is exactly like it. I had the Italian chopped salad and she had the Caesar salad. Our other friend had Sam's special sandwich. With the special sandwich, you have a choice of sides, including potato chips, orzo pasta salad, or I think a green salad or a combination of those. My choice, the chopped salad was delightful. ChoppedRomaine, shreds of sliced salami, pepperoni, provolone. Garbanzo beans, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped red bell pepper, pepperoncini, and Sam's marvelous vinaigrette. It was a joy. Service was rapid, and the ambience was conducive to conversation. As usual a fabulous Sam's experience.

After indulgente into the so called Sam's Italian deli and market, the sandwich I ordered was the grilled chicken caprese and I couldn't be any happier. Considering the fact that this was was take out and not a full on fresh order that was given to me piping hot, I still have to acknowledge how delicious it was. Although you might think the chicken was the star of the show, it was not despite how tasty that was as well but we'll get into that shortly. What I want to give its flowers to was that bread, the bread was perfectly served with the right amount of pesto to give it that pop, it held the entire thing together and just made it feel whole, topped off with arugula and their signature marinated tomatoes, and basil, it was the perfect so called blanket that wrapped the chicken and made it into the beautiful sandwich it came out to be. My only negative would have to be wait time and price but ofc how can you argue about that when it takes time to create the masterpiece that they are allowing you to try. Would definitely come again and say it's worth a one time a month thing, it's a special treat that i would recommend to everyone

Such a cool local spot. A bit out of the way for me but worth the trip over! My favorite sandwich is the chicken parm. Consistently good every time! If you're going during lunch hour, prepare for the lunch rush. Ordering ahead definitely helps! Love the market too, great wine selection. Wish there were more places locally like this.

One of my favorite places in the area. The wine selection is great and their staff is very knowledgeable. I get my guanciale here. They have a great selection of prepared food too. Every time I come, I get wine, tiramisu, a sandwich and prepared food from the deli.

Best place to grab sandwich in town! Wow! You can taste the quality, and oh so flavorful. I had the Sam's Steak Sandwich, it was loaded with meat, the peppers delicious and the bread fluffy and delicious. The fries are a must! It has a nice crunch and seasoned well. And you can't skip on the cannoli! What a great deli and market. If you are ordering food, I suggest ordering online on the website, be sure to order ahead to avoid long wait times.

Saw the reviews and decided to try. It's in a strip mall type place, with parking in the back. When you step inside, grab a number. Then walk around the huge counter and see what they have. Pay attention to what you order. We didn't know the bread would be on a sesame type bread which was just ok. I had the meatball and would have liked it in a French roll more. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing because it wasn't as delicious as I expected. Too much hype from the reviews? The pastrami sure look good... maybe I'll go back and try it next time.
