Marinucci's Deli - Mayfair

I've been working up in the Northeast now for two years and I've tried my fair share of delis in the area around me searching for perfection. I've had a couple of hits and misses and I realize the hits for me have certain things in common. It may have taken a while for a Marinucci hoagie to land on my desk but it finally did and it was special. I knew this place was pretty legendary and it's for good reason. First of all the half is a damn whole. You'll only need a whole to share or for leftovers because this jawn is packed!!! And I like the way it was made. The roll, perfect, the meats sliced thin, the lettuce was shredded, the onions were also paper thin helping me tolerate their presence because I usually don't get them but they go well with the Italian meats. Speaking of Italian there was also a peppery spread on this sandwich that gave it a kick. I definitely need more Marinucci's in my life.

Had one of these DELICIOUS hoagies at a birthday party!!! If I didn't live so far away I'd be ordering them and eating them everyday . All the ingredients were perfectly balanced; I didn't have to add seasonings! Roll was sooooo fresh--all the ingredients were fresh!I can't comment on the service--or ambiance because this was on the menu at a party; but I definitely give the food a THUMBS UP!!!

The customer service, AMAZING !!!! From the time Denise took my order till it was time to pay. You can tell they're family oriented, enjoyed their job and made sure every customer in the store felt welcomed. I'm new to the area as a Practice Manager but I will be treating myself weekly to buy a hoagie, cake or chips from them. The prices are reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend but don't all run there at once, I only get 45 minutes for lunch. I thought my neighborhood had the best, this place blows them out the water. Lunch meat fresh, roll fresh and the garnishes, even more fresh. I can't say enough about this place. I was told the owners mom is the once who calls you when your food is done and collects the money, she so sweet. I didn't care what she charged me, I was paying...lol#loyalcustomer

I only been here twice and each time the ppl here are nice and the food is always good, definitely not a disappointment.

These are some of the best hoagies in Philadelphia. Personally the Italian is my go to, I just can't seem to go with anything else. The rolls are phenomenal (I always go seeded), the meat is perfectly thin, the cheese has some flavor and the vegetables give enough crunch to perfect every single bite. Lettuce, tomato and onion (white onions not red), some vinegar and oil, salt and pepper and oregano...I'm in heaven.The staff is always great (and helpful if you're confused on what to do). They get busy during lunch so either order ahead or be patient. Go with the 24", it'll feed you for a while and these things hold up well in the refrigerator.

I hadn't had a hoagie from Marinucci's in over 20 years until a recent Eagles tailgate (thanks to Phans of Philly) brought back some tasty memories. In the late 90's/year 2k, Marinucci's was a regular visit by myself and co-workers. Those hoagies were so packed, the guys would remove some of the lunch meat and save it to make lunch for a couple of days! I remember them being the size of a football and not being able to wrap my mouth around the roll to get a bite. Good memories and they always had great prices and the nicest people behind the counter.I stopped in the other day for a repeat and the place looks pretty much the same as I remember. You order on the left side of the deli counter, wait until your called and pay to the right side. There was an army of staff behind the counter cutting rolls, slicing meat/cheese, building the sandwiches and wrapping them tightly. It's a beautiful sight! The inside has chip racks, shelves with snacks, coolers with drinks, desserts, sides and a retail Dietz and Watson condiment rack. On this visit I went with The Nucci - Our classic Italian hoagie with prosciutto, sharp provolone and roasted peppers $11.60. I got mine on a seeded roll with lettuce, tomato and light oil/oregano. Their rolls are different than most you'll get, they have a toasted honey grain flavor with a slight sweetness to them. It's very distinct to me. Meats were capicola, peppered ham, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto and sharp provolone. The roasted red peppers sit on the bottom and were delicious. I'm really glad these guys are recognized as one of the best hoagies (some say legendary) in Philly. They were excellent back in the day and still are so they've certainly earned that title. I promise I won't wait that long to visit again! Marinucci's is a rare example of getting great service, quality AND quantity for an outstanding price.

Went with the Gracie Marie today with a cream soda. I ate half for lunch today and probably the other half for lunch tomorrow.

Like my husband said today - Now that's a Philly Hoagie! We don't live here now, and I come home more often than he does. So, when he does come home, he looks forward to all the tastes of Philly. I chose Marinucci's today for the hoagies, and we were both very happy I did! He loved the Italian Hoagie and I enjoyed the Grace Marie Hoagie (Turkey and Ham). The rolls were fresh, stuffed with ingredients, and big enough to share or save some for later. I've been to this location multiple times and have always enjoyed my food. They are also great for catering - Check them out, you won't be disappointed! Staff are always friendly and helpful when I go, as well. For a small store, there are plenty of items to choose from. A real deli! And, plenty of street parking, too!

Always good LotsOf meat and the rolls areAlways fresh Their chicken saladIs the best especially the one with the walnuts

Best hoagie in the area. The Mayfair location is head and shoulders better than the others.
