    They make the best eggplant parmigiana sandwiches I've had in a long time. Their other sandwiches are good as well. Will definitely recommend to others.

    The coffee and pastries were so good. I go here every time I am in melrose park. Ask for the cannoli, you won’t regret

    I couldn’t speak high enough of this place if I tried. The absolute best family, and the best food and to me the world’s best cannolis. We will continue to come from out of state to visit and support this family as long as their doors stay open.

    This is the cleanest food place I have ever seen in my life. Nothing is mediocre here; everything is delicious but their connoli I would commit crimes for. Nothing compares. Their biscottis are what you read about in books about Italy. Go here to eat or take it out. You're too skinny!

    My dad grew up with the owners and he took me there since I was a little kid, best bakery in Melrose Park hands down

  • 4/5 Veela A. 1 year ago on Google
    I bought a sandwich for one of my favorite people. Love her dearly, but she is very particular. She loved her roast beef sandwich on white bread. She ate it all! That alone is a glowing review. The cookies looked good too. Definitely will try them next time. The staff was very nice. I got my food to go and didn't have to wait long.

  • 5/5 Wendy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Cookies, arancini and wood-fired pizza all delicious! I keep thinking about the melt in your mouth chocolate chip cookies they had. Highly recommend. Authentic!

  • 5/5 jose r. 2 years ago on Google
    Been going there for years. Moved to Texas 15 years ago but everything I am out here I have to go to Scudiero's. Food is great. People are very nice. They treat you like family.

  • 5/5 Jorge S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for a quick bite. The pizza is great and inexpensive. I've also had the Italian sub and meatball sandwiches. Delicious!

  • 5/5 Jared C. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful family owned place. Perfect for a date or a fun time!

  • 5/5 Carlos M. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time there and the owner attended me very cool guy. People go for the food but return because of the hospitality. Very authentic Italian food, I liked the sandwich I got 😋.

  • 4/5 prairie tech g. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a great place, the breads are freshly baked and the sandwiches are authentic. Been going here for years, but unfortunately the consistency of the business hours has been fluctuating too much over the past few months.

  • 5/5 M W. 4 years ago on Google
    The tiramisu is to die for

  • 5/5 Jay G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the Primo panini to eat at the Deli and the Woodstone Pizza for dinner. Both were fantastic. Will be returning for sure to try other menu options!

  • 5/5 Natalie H. 4 years ago on Google
    Pizza was fresh,fluffy and soft. Cookies were fresh and tasty.

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    I've had a lot of meatball subs in my life, but Scudiero's honestly makes the best one I've ever had. Perfect toasting, tangy sauce, and overall a real swell experience!

  • 5/5 Rebecca R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous authentic Italian Deli!! Everything here is first class quality. My highest recommendation!

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always love this place. We need more Italian bakery/cafes out there like this place. Excellent subs. On this day, I got the tomato sheet pizza. Always very good fresh like this.

  • 5/5 Bryan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good arancinis love the pasta sauce! Even left with a jar of their sauce and some cannolis which are so good made fresh to order! Me and my wife's first time there and it was worth the find!

  • 5/5 John B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great authentic Italian deli. A mix of old school with a newer younger flair. Everything is great here.

  • 4/5 Alvin A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great fresh Italian food ! The line to order can get a little long so if you’re going for lunch try to get there before 12:10

  • 5/5 Eric C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sandwiches and cookies!

  • 5/5 Michael G. 1 year ago on Google
    Was in town for a fast visit. Stopped in and took me back years. The aroma and folks inside, excellent. TY

  • 5/5 Matt G. 7 months ago on Google
    Love this place! Hot sub is my go-to, everything i’ve had is super fresh and tasty. Sausage & peppers special is excellent. Pizza and pepperoni rolls are great. Cannolis are to die for, and fresh made in house every day. Very nice people! A local family-owned business that is a hidden gem in the area.

  • 5/5 Art E. 7 months ago on Google
    I've been stopping by here for a long time when in the area.. pizza is delicious.. Oh Yeah..

  • 5/5 R R. 8 months ago on Google
    stopped here on the way to work one day. I got a couple of things to try, pizza, a sub, and a cannoli. Everything was awesome! So fresh and so delicious. Pizza sauce was a little too salty on the sausage but I still ate it. Sausage was so good. Pepperoni had tons of pepperoni on it. Made fresh and they heat it up for you right there. Sub was delicious. Lots of good options. Cannoli was delicious as well only complaint is that I only bought one. Shoulda bought another!! Overall, super good place. Love to support a small local business. Give it a try!

  • 5/5 Karen G. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent food! Wrap was delicious and cannoli was amazing good! From the person who went to pick up lunch, I understand parking isn't too great, the only thing not excellent.

  • 5/5 Ron C. 7 months ago on Google
    GREAT CANNOLI'S!!!! Really good sandwich's also. I'd recommend the caprese panini or the Meatball sub toasted with mozzarella.

  • 5/5 Petar G. 8 months ago on Google
    Beat sandwiches! Fresh made and good quality

  • 1/5 Dianne R. 3 years ago on Google
    Family owned & operated in an area of mostly Hispanic businesses and neighborhoods; Scudiero's stands out as one of the only Italian bakeries and deli's left in Melrose Park IL. Plus we love their bread, pizza, deli subs, cookies & Easter calzone!

  • 5/5 Rigoberto O. 3 years ago on Google
    As soon as I walked in I wanted everything!!! Pizza, calzones, all their pastries!!! DELICIOUS food, awesome environment. It has a very home-like feel and one of those movie-like atmosphere where the guy walks in and the person behind the counters "Hey Tony!! The usual for you and some to take to the misses?!?" And he says, "yes please! Where is Fredo? I have his bday present right here!" They are open during Covid to dine in and out. Great food, awesome people. And a lot of bit of Italy!

  • 5/5 Kimberly W. 3 years ago on Google
    Quality superb. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve had several sandwich’s on the menu!! Next I’ll try some of the pastries, and pizza. Love this spot!!

  • 5/5 stephanie p. 3 years ago on Google
    the eggplant parmigiana sub is phenomenal. we take the 40 min drive over whenever we can.

  • 5/5 Lynn S. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the stuffed shells! Wheat bread is great. The pizza is awesome loved the spinach and olives calzone, arancini was very good too. When you go there, you want everything because it looks so good. The owners know everyone by name. It is wonderful.

  • 5/5 Betty H. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gael F. 3 years ago on Google
    two days ago was the first time we went to this restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the generous service, with the great dishes and fine drinks and with the friendly pay. We will definitely visit there again.

  • 5/5 Susan F. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent! The sandwich was top notch and the cookies were to die for!!!

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, wonderful delicious homemade food, everything I've had reminds me of all the food growing up, just like my Nana cooked for us. My favorite so far, slice of pizza and a meatball sandwich. The staff is very friendly and attentive to my needs, especially the front counter,a top notch professional ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you for your great care!

  • 5/5 Jeff J. 3 years ago on Google
    Best meatball sub of my life!

  • 4/5 Lolita M. 3 years ago on Google
    A simple Italian deli. “No muss, no fuss”, is how I’d describe it. I love the sandwiches here. Minus a star for the expensive terrible cookies. In hindsight, I don’t think I even like Italian Cookies. But just a nice solid place for deli meats and to go sandwiches.

  • 4/5 chinolkn 4 years ago on Google
    Really good subs if you're a sub fan. Also the pizza is really good. Good Italian restaurant

  • 5/5 Tiffany C. 4 years ago on Google

    I come to this superb place many times as I like the special air that is part of this place. The personel is very cordial and experienced. The service is extraordinarily fast. Needless to say, the food you eat is great. I visited many times and I was always pleased. The cost is reasobable. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

  • 5/5 Joe A. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent Turkey sub - have had one every other day since! I’m going for the calzone and meatball sub next time. My buddies order that and I had taste. Amazing!
