Pastore's Italian Delly

My daughter was in charge of picking a lunch spot near where we were going shopping, and she chose this place based on the great Yelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience didn't quite match up to the hype.She picked up the spaghetti and meatballs from the table, but there was no way to reheat it at the store. Not a big deal since they gave us extra sauce which was warm. As for me, I went with the chicken Caesar wrap and asked for the dressing on the side. The wrap was seriously lacking in flavor and contents, which was a real disappointment.On the plus side, the staff was very nice and friendly, but sadly, that wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster food. We won't be back.

The meatball with provolone is really tasty. The service is very good and quick. I had to feed the meter outside and fortunately had coins for the meter.

Amazing Food! The meatball subs are sooooo good. My husband and son love the Italian cold cuts. Thanks for everything.

I wanted a while to post this review because I wanted to come back and give them a try before posting, it's been over a month and I haven't made it back yet so here goes it. I had a taste for an Italian cold cut, when I got there the gentleman behind the counter told me they just made the "Muffalettini" sandwiches so I went on and tried it. The Muffalettini has homemade olive salad, salami, capicola, pepperoni, mortadella, smoked mozzarella and sharp provolone on Vienna bread. It all sounds delicious but fell very flat to me. I've had better olive spread from a regular grocery store, the bread was extremely hard and the over all sandwich was so dry! I wouldn't get this again but I would like to visit again and try the Italian Sub.

Hard to believe I've passed Pastore's so many times. Finally stopped in on a Thursday before lunch.You get the wonderful aroma that true old world Salumerias/delis have as soon as you walk in. They have a small grocery area with cold and frozen specialities (sauce, meatballs, lasagna, cheese, etc.) Also, non perishables-canned/jarred food and of course a full deli that includes a good selection of specialty salads.We ordered 3 subs/sandwiches to try and share. The Meatball Parmesan Sub was amazing! (Melted Provolone is the way to go!). Loved the tomato sauce mixed with the melted provolone and the meatballs were on point! (Reasonably priced at under $7)The Italian cold cut Gonzo (1/2) was one of the best cold cuts we've had. (Order it as is with all the condiments). The combo of the fresh Italian Sub bread (Maranto!), meats/cheese and toppings are perfect!The Muffalettini was enjoyed also. The olive spread & smoked mozzarella take it over the top. (A little bit of NOLA on Loch-raven.)Service was fast and friendly.A family owned hidden gem! Looking forward to returning and trying their other specialty subs and take home dinners!

This Italian deli is so good!!! Don't let the look of the sandwich fool you. It may look plain but it isn't! I ordered the Italian Sub and the Parmesan pasta salad...and oh my gosh!! First bite and you already know this is going to go well. You can tell the bread is homemade and super fresh as well as the meats! The meats were something else!! So delicious and only for a little over $6 for the sandwich. The service was quick and the store owners were kind. Will come again! Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the sandwich because of how QUICKLY I scarfed it down. It was THAT good.

I used to come here a lot when I was in college because their subs are SO GOOD. It's been 5 years since Iv been here, but the taste is still as amazing as it was back then. I ordered the Italian cold cut (make sure to get everything on it!) It has Genoa salami, capicola, prosciuttini, mortadella, and provolone cheese. This place doesn't just sell subs, but they have a large variety of different things to buy. The service is quick and fast if you just walk in, but if you don't want to wait in line, you can call your order in and come pick it up. The parking can be tricky because it's right on a main street ,but there is parking in front of the building. If you can find a spot, you can park around the corner

Great food! Great Service! I love their Italian cold cut subs. I've been coming here since the early 1980's. I've never been disappointed.

First time today and I got an Italian cold cut for me and my son who said it was "awesome!"The subs were delicious and the owners/staff were very welcoming and friendly and said that I would enjoy my order---they were right!!I got spinach and cheese ravioli for tomorrow night.I love this place and look forward to becoming a regular.Thanks Pastore's for being so nice and living up to your reputation.

Old school Baltimore Italian delicatessen and provisions store. Highly recommend. Everything around here has a kind of falling apart aura--ignore it and go to this place.
