Old-school Italian deli-market with beloved steak sandwiches, house ravioli, and ribs; long lines and counter-service quirks but generous portions and fair prices.
Antipasto's By De Rose delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by strong food quality—signature steak sandwiches and house ravioli earn consistent praise—and deep generational loyalty that speaks to its community role. However, inconsistent execution on ravioli texture and steak tenderness and lengthy peak-hour waits prevent grade A territory. The old-school deli character and fair pricing make it worth the trip for those seeking authentic Italian-American comfort food, though timing your visit matters.
One caveat: Ordering can take 20-40 minutes during rush hours; plan off-peak for faster service
