Fuggetaboutit! They call themselves a New York Deli. You're lucky if they'll even serve a red sox fan there.
Go Yankees!!!

Anyone know of hours for Gandolfo's in Southern Trace. Golfing group going up that way to golf and looking for a place to have light late dinner afterwards.

Stephen, since I am the one who started this about charging for the little extras, I would like to thank you for your immediate response and the fact that you are correcting it. Mr. Mac9 and I will definitely be returning now that you have shown that you really do care about having return customers.

Corporate would like us to have an "up-charge" for a large deli pickle on the side, but we made the decision yesterday to start providing those at no charge starting next week. Unfortunately we won't be open for breakfast until next monday. I would like to also extend a thank you to this website for allowing us the opportunity to speak with our current/future customers. We can't wait until our add comes out on the site. Stephen

Someone who cares about satisfied customers. Three cheers for Stephen!

Had take out from there tonight; very good a fairly priced.

Thank you so much for clarifying. Can't wait til you're open in the mornings!!! You will definitely have my business. (And I like Nathan's!)

It's amusing to a New Yorker to see menu items that are supposed to be authentic. I've seen "butter" on a sandwich once in my life. It was a Church fair in Orange County (60 miles North of NYC) selling pre-made sandwiches. A real NY deli would never list a deli sandwich with "butter" although I'm sure they'd put it on if you specifically asked for it. The thought of butter on a deli sandwich is gross! Maybe this is a mid-western tradition but certainly not New York where even if a deli isn't kosher, they at least try to be kosher-style?

Putting butter on the sandwich keeps the bread from soaking up the mayonnaise or dressing. That could be the reason on those pre-mades, but I don't know about the ones that are to be eaten at the deli.

We'll need to take JeannieBeanie too, to calm her down.

As for the other posters on this thread... hey, we'll invite you too! Voila! Another party.

LOL thanks Pturner, I have calmed down now lol

Thank you Stephen, great job!

I am a born New Yorker and so was my mother and we ALWAYS put butter on a turkey sandwich, as did lots of my friends.......NYC, Brooklyn, Staten Island! If you went to a Jewish deli, you got margarine........

There's no doubt that some folks ask for butter on their sandwich but I've never seen "butter" included as part of the sandwich description on a menu. Did you have a chance to look over Gandolfo's menu to see what I'm referring to? I'd like to think that you could order one of these "butter sandwiches" without butter. I've also known people (although not many) who would only eat macaroni with butter, no red sauce or garlic and oil, just butter. I'm just reporting my personal experience from growing up in the Bronx and working in Manhattan for almost 40 years. In those days (the 50's) there was a Kosher or Italian deli every couple of blocks, and my recollection is "butter" or margerine was never mentioned or suggested for a sandwich. Yeah, now that I think about it, Nedicks used to cook their hot dogs in butter. Maybe life was different on Staten Island.

Just had bagel and lox at here. Service was great. Met Wayne, one of the owners -- super guy! The bagel was okay, but still not a NY bagel -- outside too soft -- but not too bad. Biggest complaint was only 3 itty bitty pieces of lox. I don't expect lox to be piled on, but I do expect to see it cover all of the bagel, not just half of it. Fortunately, this was immediately rectified when mentioned. I definitely will go back but think I'll try something other than a bagel.

I'm with you on the bagels. As a born and bred New Yorker, I've been really craving a true New York bagel. I stopped at Gandolfo's and had their bagel with cream cheese. Well, I'm still craving a true New York bagel. It seems impossible to get one in Florida. The rest of the menu looks promising, though. I'm just not expecting to get New York area bread.
