I saw this place on Chicago's Best a few months and finally had a chance to stop by. I got there late in the day and was looking forward to a breaded steak sandwich (hoping it was as good as Ricobene's). Unfortunately they were out and the deli cases looked empty but tried my second choice - the pot roast sandwich. It was Delizioso! I am looking forward to going back for an Italian Sub and some of the frozen entrees.

You can't get more authentic than this.
Tiny little store with outdoor tables.
Prior to COVID they had a counter you could sit down.
I was impressed by how genuine they are. There's a sign that very politely suggests that being short staffed will not take away from their desire to provide great food and service.
Another listing tells you the additional percentage if you use a credit card versus a debit card. Honest and forthright. When they say "homemade" or "finest Ingredients" you believe it.
They have been recognized by numerous outlets as the best for great reason

Stopped by Saturday, 5Jun ordered a sausage w/ xtra sweet peppers and gravy for my buddy and I had a roast beef, provolone and salami sub. got a small order of meatballs and gravy only just to try em out.
I should preface my review by mentioning that I mostly cook at home because eating out is consistently such a let down in quality and cost. Nottoli's was a pleasant surprise. The Italian ladies behind the counter are all sweethearts and the darling taking care of me took one look at my rather large 6-1 frame and suggested I might want xtra meat and cheese, which I wholly agreed to. the

I have never openly said this before. How can any sub sandwich chain make it in Chicago? The truth is there are many good family owned ones however Nottoli by far is the best. There hours are short so check first. One time I pulled up and when they were closed I felt like Clark Griswald pulling up to wally world. LOL. The good smell is torture when you walk in hungry. I must admit I need to try more of there menu items but have not been able to get around how good there subs are. My Daughter wanted her birthday dinner from Nottoli. She has good taste. I cant wait for there hours to go back to

Just so good. Ordered a turkey pesto panini, spinach and ricotta arancini & deluxe pasta salad. The panini and the rice ball were delicious, could not stop eating even though it was too much food. Have not tried the pasta salad yet, I'm sure it's going to be good too.
Don't expect to be in and out, they're always busy, so be patient, order ahead if you can, it's not always possible.

Love their sandwiches! The summer means walking to Nottoli for subs during lunch and they are all good. My husbands favorite is the American and I prefer their chicken cutlet sandwich warmed or the Classico. Both are fantastic and I love that the fresh tastes fresh without it being too crumbly like other sub places.

I went out of my way to try a sub from here and I'm glad I did as it was one of the best I've had, and the long line that developed in this tiny store shortly after I arrived was the proof.
Of course since I did go out of my way I had to 'load up'. I tried a pasta and a sausage and a meatball from the hot entree table. Everything but the meatball was excellent. It was very small and flavorless. Loved the sauce on the pasta and the fennel spiced sausage and the Italian sub. I should have brought home some sausage too, as so many others were no doubt ordering for a weekend cookout

The area around Harlem Avenue, just south of Interstate 90, about twenty miles NW of downtown Chicago, has truly become the area's new "Little Italy." There are literally dozens of Italian-centric delis, markets, bakeries and restaurants.
I've looked at a couple of them before, including another deli named "Nottoli" (no relation I am told), a restaurant/pizza called "Dino's," (superb pizza), and a market and take out operation, "Rex."
This particular Nottoli I became aware of due to shouting on the internet saying it was absolutely the best

I heard by word of mouth that this place had one of, if not, the best giardiniera in the city so off I went. Holy smokes was I surprised when I walked in the door. First off, they fit A LOT into a small place. Second, every single thing looks amazing and I wanted to buy it all.
I cannot wait to go back time and time again now that we live in the neighborhood. This is what your dream of when you think about an Italian deli! Wow

Arancini's: I appreciate how they have equal portions throughout.
Meat and Peas- the texture was different because I think they cook the gravy, meat, and peas together, and scoop a good amount of the concoction into the middle.
Spinach ad Ricotta- my fav! Super creamy and mixed well.
Tiramisu- was not a fan. Had a very different flavor, not sure if it was hazelnut or what but it was very strong.
Meatball sub- AmazeBALLS!
American and Turkey subs were good. The fresh baked bread really makes a difference

I've been going here for years now and not sure why I never yelped them. I guess it's one of those great things in l too often tend to take for granted. Nottoli & Son is an original neighborhood Italian Deli with excellent, authentic Italian products from pre-made frozen pasta, sauce and Italian specialties to fresh deli subs and Italian sandwiches. They make some of the very best Italian sausage in the city. If you dunno what that is you ain't from Chicago kid. You can't go wrong here and the folks who run it are top shelf, most I assume family or long time friends. It

A local Italian deli that serves some great sandwiches and a very cheap price. The deli not only sells sandwiches but like any other Italian deli serves fresh, bread, Italian cheeses and pastas.
We took home a nine inch Italian sandwich and a nine inch meatball sandwich. On the Italian, the bread was fresh and soft packed with cheese, tomato, lettuce, salami, prosciutto and capicola. Everything tasted fresh and would order it again. The meatball sandwich was also good. I ordered it with mozzarella and tasted great. A nine inch was very filling and could only eat half of it. They offer other sandwiches

The subs here have always been on point. But it wasn't until I recently had Nattoli cater a full pan Chicken Marsala ($68), Mostaccioli ($46) & House Tossed Salad ($28) that I realized how authentic they really are. I couldn't be happier with the service an quality of the food here. Will definitely continue to come back.

What a happy find this adorable Italian deli is! Yelp brought us here and it is becoming our regular lunch stop on the way home from Costco now that we've found it.
Their Italian Sub is perfection. The bread is fantastic and the quality ingredients they use make this sandwich quite special. I had my eye on the chicken parmigiana sandwich on focaccia on our last visit and it was a WOW! It was big enough that I shared about 1/3 of it with my husband. He loved it as much as I did - even after he'd powered through his Italian Sub!
Service is great here, too. The folks behind the counter

It's very rare I'm in this area and when I am, there's no intent to eat or check out any new places but here I was in the area, was hungry, and didn't want to be stuck in traffic so I decided to check out the Original Nottoli & Son and boy I'm glad I did.
Since I'm not in the area often I decided to splurge a bit and got 3 sandwiches. I went with the Italian beef & Sausage Combo, the 2 Fingers Braciole Sandwich, and the Prosciutto Sub.
Let's talk about the Italian Beef & Sausage Combo. It was really good. I think I'm boldly going to say it

I'm a sucker for a good Italian deli. This place really meets my criteria. It's got a great selection of fresh sliced deli meats and cheeses, delightful prepared foods that will make your mouth water just by looking at them, very helpful and personable staff, and some of the best fresh made deli sandwiches I've seen in a long time. Their Italian sub is one of my favorites. Stuffed full of choice meats on some of the absolute best bread!! They know how to get you to come back. And the 9" sub is so cheap and makes for 2 good meals!

If you want a great classic Italian sandwich at a literally unbeatable price, you have found it. The bread is really fresh and has a nice crusty crunch. Or crunchy crust if that makes you feel better. The meats were also a standout. I could actually taste the individual cuts.
It is crowded..and cramped, and a little confusing when you come in for the first time. Grab a number and wait. They'll get to you and you'll be happy for it. There is a long table inside with seating for about a dozen people, as well as some tables outside if the weather is good.
Look, your not going to taste
