There are Jewish delis and Italian delis and then there’s Jason’s Deli, which is neither Jewish nor Italian but is a perennial winner in this category. What’s so special about Jason’s? Well, there’s the turkey muffuletta, which might not be right out of New Orleans, but is about as close as it comes in these parts. And then there’s the fact that you can get a Reuben or a BLT or a salad or soup or a po’ boy or just about anything, should you be in the mood. Capriotti’s finishes a distant second.

Well, Parma Pastavino may be more of a restaurant than it is a deli, but it works the magic of taking us back to the little brick-street Italian spots of our youth. If you go in for dinner, you can get an actual entree from the blackboard specials, but you also can do a little bit of grocery shopping and can pick up one heck of a sandwich — such as a mortadella. And where else, we ask you, can you do that?

JASONS DELI IS A GREAT DELI. BUT HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY CAPRIOTTIS FINISHED SECOND. THEY DONT SELL MEATS BY THE POUND LIKE A DELI DOES!! THEY DONT SELL SALADS . DELIS SELL EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
Marc’s Parma Pastavino & Deli has great food, but the lunch service is a nightmare. You have to place your order at the counter where you are completely ignored for so long many people choose to leave, then it takes forever to get your food. Dinner service is much better. I would suggest skipping lunch here especially if you have to get back to work and have limited time.
