Fino's from the Hill

WOW!!! Let me start off with saying that their bread is PHENOMENAL. I've been on the hunt for a good NY type sandwich/hero for almost a decade here in Memphis, to get a taste of home (Brooklyn, NY) and nothing has really come close. The bread out here in Memphis is absolutely terrible which ruins the taste of many subs. NOT AT THIS PLACE!! Their bread comes from New Jersey par baked and they finish it off fresh in store. I got the New York sub with added banana peppers and it was SUPERB. My husband got a hot sub uomo arrabiato and it was also lovely. The staff was very very nice and helpful. Answered every question we had and were more than eager and happy to help. Price is very fair for the amount of food you get especially. I am beyond glad we finally had a chance to stop by here and try it out today. It was great. The place inside is large with ample amounts of seating. Parking right outside on the street or at the Gilmore apartments lot directly behind the deli down McLean. Overall I give this place a 12/10. Superb all around. HIGHLY recommend.

Love the sandwiches and olive spread. This is my favorite sandwich shop in Memphis. Definitely a 5 star shop.

Food good service fast and very friendly ambiance is comforting I like this place first time here yes I'll be back

Positive: The bread they make the sandwiches on is the bomb. Extremely fresh, tasty, bakery bread- this elevates any sandwich. Negative: sounds picky, but I'm picky... the slicing of the beats is not consistent. Sometimes you get beautifully sliced thin meat and sometimes you get the unpleasant texture of way to thick slices. Otherwise I really love this deli. Consistency is key. I prefer thin slices on my sandwich. I love a good bakery French bread roll. I'm so excited they don't use store bought sandwich buns or rolls. For me this makes a world of difference. Support small, support local.

Fino's makes the best sandwiches in Memphis, if you ask me. I love the Cajun turkey sandwich and my boyfriend always gets the speziato. We're always more than satisfied with our food. The shop is a humble place, with pizza paddles adorning the walls, but the overall ambiance gives "deli in the big city". Can't recommend this place highly enough.Edit: folks who don't like the bread (other reviewers) wouldn't know good bread if it fell from the sky.

THE BREAD!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?! WHY DID YOU DO THIS?The bread is gross now. La Baguette is like right there, go get some decent bread. I can't stand to order my favorite sandwich now. Maybe I'd even pay a little more for good bread, I get it, stuff is expensive. But buying a nice sandwich is a treat, and treats aren't gross. Someone please call me when they fix the bread.

OK, so I am not going to let this be a critique of the grandmaster Chef English because frankly I don't think he has eaten any food prepared at this location. I mean, really... everyone knows he only cooks with a pencil - as most chef's do. The original Fino's used only meats and most of the cheeses from Italy(except for the Provel, a cheese mostly known in St.Louis) their breads were consistent and perfect for each sandwich. 'Nuff said, those days are gone-girl.The new Fino's has most of the same fare that was once proffered at their former namesake and often you can find the best sandwiches in town!! That said, as of late the food has been changing almost weekly. Different meats, different cheeses, and the most noticeable changes come from the bread snafoo's. Originally sourced from a bakery in St Louis, then shipped in from New Orleans, then LaBaugette, then who knows? Todays sandwich was happily so much different then the skinny pointy ended loaves from last week! So why do I keep coming back week after week? Because of the recipes. It feels like Russian roulette sometimes but I have had some damn good sandwiches here, often the best available. I must love the suspense 'cause I get a tiny knot in my stomach as I go thru those doors wondering what we get this time... hopefully sublime, sometimes upsetting... but the potential is defiantly here! So come and try your own spin at the wheel and see what you'll get! Hopefully you will find the best deli in town!!

Hands down, without any exaggeration, the best sandwich I've had in my entire life. I would eat here every day if I could.

Zero stars! What the hell KE? You changed the defining feature of the sandwich, the bread!!! The new bread is heavy and doughy. Also the sandwiches are much smaller for the same price. Sooooo disappointed and dissatisfied.

Still good, but today the bread was not the same as in years past which was kind of a huge part of the draw.
