Rinaldi's Italian Deli

One of my co-workers took us here on our lunch break the other day.
He was excited to take us so I knew it would be good.
Sure enough this place delivered! They have plates, salads, a variety of sandwiches, and some classic Italian pastries/desserts. I got the Italian sub Combo, pops got the Pastrami, and our co-worker got the beef brisket sandwich.
Each of us enjoyed our sandwiches and would definitely see ourselves coming back when we're in the area.
The bread, meats, and ingredients were all fresh and top quality.
Next time I'll grab a canoli and a black and white to go! If you're in the mood for a delicious sandwich for a reasonable price (for Scottsdale) I'd highly recommend stopping in here.

Best sandwich in Phoenix! A co-worker recently recommended Rinaldi's and this will now be my "go to" spot for lunch.
Got the toasted Italian w/ giardiniera and it was a 10/10.
Added a side of Mac salad and it made for a perfect lunch.
The service was incredible and the atmosphere was fantastic.
Can't recommend Rinaldi's enough and I can't wait to go back.

Born and raised in New York.
I’ve been out here 20 years.
I can’t tell you how disappointing it is to hear a good place Claiming New York…only to be let down.
Came in for the first time(on recommendation) and thought it was the real deal.
The inside atmosphere really took me home.
Once again, I was let down.
We don’t leave a review unless I have something positive to say.
If I am not happy, I will not go out of my way, I just won’t return to the establishment.
The bread heavily resembled bread from Safeway or something.
Definitely wasn’t a hero?? Hardly any meat.
And ZERO CONDIMENTS!! Completely dry, even tho, the employee mentioned it would come with.
From first bite, the sandwich completely came apart and fell everywhere.(pics attached) good meat, just not enough. I will say that the staff was friendly, but I can’t give the service a high rating as I feel the employee lied to me about the condiments.
Based on my first experience, I would have a hard time recommending or returning a second time and it’s a shame because the atmosphere really made it felt like this was the real deal!
