    Omg. This place came highly recommended and I highly recommend it. Had some veal Parm, spinach lasagna, and antipasto. Ate every bite. Can't wait to go back.

    This place is great. Upon entering we were greeted and the lovely lady proceeded to give us multiple samples of her home cooked food. Everything was delicious which made it hard for us to choose what to get. Did not disappoint. The eggplant parmesan was delicious as were the meatballs and sausage and peppers. I highly recommend this place. The food was fantastic the service was great all at fair prices. Will definitely be going back.

    This is a traditional, old school Italian deli with variety of Foods. I ordered a meat lasagna and it was delicious. All foods are home made and the staff are really friendly. I suggest them to heat up the food well before serving, since my lasagna was not hot as it was supposed to be. The dining area is not too large but it’s in a good size though. Overall I recommend it to everyone.

    This was our first time ordering from there. When I walked in and was standing in front of the cashier for at least a minute, (she was Packing an order and she didn’t say a word to me. Someone else walked up to pay his bill and she spoke to him asked if we’re together, he said no she looked at me. What do you want? I’m here to pick up an order she said, over there. Extremely extremely rude!!!!! The chicken parmigiana was barely warm and had very little flavor. The Caesar salad, tasted, absolutely nothing like Caesar salad and wasn’t particularly good. The spaghetti with meat sauce, though that had some pretty good flavor to it.

    Love this Italian deli and with an old school Italian deli vibe. I've been going there for 25+years. They definitely remember the regulars This time my Mom and I ordered Chicken parmesan and stuffed eggplant. They top it with the most amazing red sauce. Also I got my favorite lemon knot cookies. I basically would recommend everything that they have there and Guy Ferrari would too 😁

    I like supporting mom & pop's food places, this little gem is a joy to visit. Owners were very accommodating! Home-cooked Italian cuisine!

    My recent visit to Rex's, Italian deli, left me feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by the unwelcoming and unfriendly demeanor of both owners who were behind the counter. Upon entering Rex's, I had high hopes for an authentic Italian culinary experience. However, the service provided by the owners was lacking in warmth and genuine hospitality. They seemed disinterested and unenthusiastic about assisting customers, which made the overall dining experience quite unpleasant. Regrettably, the food at Rex's did not redeem the lackluster service. The dishes lacked flavor and were disappointingly bland. Whether it was the sandwiches, pasta, or other Italian specialties, the taste was consistently dull and lacking the expected richness and depth that authentic Italian cuisine is known for. The ingredients used seemed subpar, failing to deliver on the promised flavors. Comparing Rex's to other Italian delis in the area, such as the 2 Notoli Delis, this establishment fell far short. The lack of attention to detail and the absence of passion in their food preparation greatly affected the overall dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to Rex's was disappointing. The unwelcoming service and underwhelming food quality left a lot to be desired. With other exceptional Italian delis in the area, I would recommend exploring alternative options like the Notoli Delis where you can find tastier and more enjoyable Italian cuisine.

    Always good food, from sandwiches to lasagna, arancinis and a large selection of home made salads, cold food to hot. The staff is always friendly and calm - even when they gotta be frazzled on the inside 'cause it gets soo busy. The wait can be long at those busy times but I just go with it. My husband's eyes light up when I tell him we're having Rex's for dinner (even though he's paying).

    The meatball sub wasn't very special, tasted/ smelled old and it was colder than I would liked. Ordered another sub, the guy didn't put gloves on at first and another worker had to remind him to wear gloves. I had heard great things, but the taste didn't live up to the hype.

    A very decorated Italian deli shop with some great options. I like the vibe & the service was great. I got the Italian sub, their muffuletta, and a cannoli. Their muffuletta was pretty amazing & I wish they made it available all the time; putting a little marinara sauce on top with a dash of oregano was a nice touch!

    Ordered delivery for lunch and it was truly not good… the chicken Parmesan had so little sauce that the noodles were all stuck together. The chicken had very little breading. The Romana Schiacciata was ok, it somehow tasted of old oil. The portions are generous for the $. I couldn’t even finish half, however I will have to stop at the store to buy a jar of sauce to finish the leftovers.
