Jim Alesci's Place

Stopped in to grab a to-go lunch. They had several prepared sandwiches in one of their display cases. Store was Nicely laid out and with a stop in.I had the Franco salad with a house dressing g which I enjoyed. I also had a muffuletta sandwich. I really enjoyed that too on a hard crusted but soft inside roll. This is NOT the traditional bread this sandwich is served on, but was an excellent option in my preference. The olive spread was also less definitive in this version.Bookmarked this place for a future visit in the near future

Great food. Love the sheet pizza and they make an excellent salad. Their salad dressing is excellent. Rigatoni and other specialties are worth a try. Nice bakery and a lot of imported goods as well.

I love this place! Anytime I am in solon I will be sure to stop here from now on. So many options like pasta, sides, pizza, desserts, cake, gelato. Sooo many options and it all tastes incredible. Highly recommend.

Love this place for sandwiches! They are always delicious. The company I work for loves ordering from here as well. Great for big orders.

Muffuletta: very fresh, needed more spread, bread was hard and cracked the roof of my mouth Meatball sub: meatballs were flavorful, bread was soft, and it was cheesy Pasta: no complaints on the pasta, I didn't have it though Gelato: you just can't go wrong with this Pizza: Phenomenal. Must try. Food here is solid and affordable. Definitely should check out at least once.

They have quite a few food options here. Pretty much all Italian and subs. There was some quiche to. The reason they lost 2 stars because the staff was not friendly at all. The woman who served food, chicken fillets and sausage, etc. was completely unfriendly and abrupt. it definitely made me not want to come back even if they had amazing food. She didn't explain to me how the charge was by the way because I ordered pork sausage, and I would like to have a few more peppers on it then 2. I was buying for a group of people so I asked the cashier if they had plates and I got the abrupt answer of yes, but you have to pay for them so this isn't a good place to come if you are buying for large groups of people because like most places, give you silverware and plates. You have to pay for your plates. Parking is easy. Prices for the bakery stuff is very expensive. A small piece of tiramisu or lemon cake was over five dollars a piece.

I'm in this area often, yet I never knew there was an Alesci's nearby. This is a combination Italian grocery, coffee bar, deli, pizzeria and bakery. You can dine in or carry out. There are lots of ready made items for a quick and delicious meal. We picked up the broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts and green beans almondine. I popped them into the oven and 15 minutes later we had a terrific dinner. The grocery area is smaller than a typical Alesci's but still there were lots of fun items. (Glad to find a place that carries Tiberino pasta, their pesto Genovese is delicious!)They have a small, but interesting selection of Italian wines. I picked up a nice Sicilian red. While shopping we enjoyed a couple of espressos from their coffee bar and some nice Italian cookies--which were fresh, not like the dried out overpriced cookies you find in other stores. I didn't try the bread but it looked great and they were selling a lot of it. They also offer catering and boxed lunches. Glad I found this place!

We stopped in Als Italian Deli & Market for a sandwich and did some Memorial Weekend grocery shopping. We enjoyed our Guido Sandwiches. They were made well when we visited, and the products used--meats and cheese were tasty and fresh. In the market, the different kinds of pasta, olives, and other products were priced reasonably. Watch out for some desirable items such as jarred Fabbri Amarena sweet cherries, they're charging 22.95 for a small jar, and you can buy them at Amazon for 11.99 for the same size jar, so that's quite a mark-up! People love to purchase these cherries to add to their Martini, Ice cream, and Chocolate Desserts. We were incredibly disappointed in their pastries as well. Everything we bought had to be thrown out. Everything was dry, even the jelly/fruited and cheese-filled pastries and the dough they used--old. We couldn't eat any of the pastries we purchased. But, if you want pasta, canned goods, beans, sandwiches, and a cup of coffee, their cold cuts and cheeses--I highly recommend those purchases. I also purchased some large unpitted green olives, and those are very nice!

This place is the best for all your Italian hunger needs!I have been going to Alesci's for more than 30 years. I always have a variety of delicious food to choose from. I am anticipating my next visit.

Sorry, I'm done. The quality of the food cannot overcome the service here. If it was just once or twice, I wouldn't even be writing this. We've had catering orders that were missing huge components and embarrassingly left us without food at a dinner party at our home & the phone order takers are incredibly rude. I make a point to call later as to not be part of the lunch rush, so what's the deal? Everybody has a bad day, but it seems like calling here or dealing with this company turns my perfectly good day into a BAD DAY, so I'm done. Count me as one less bother or nuisance... You might not miss me, but you'll miss my husband's Solon based company's catering orders.
