Today I had one of the best deli sandwiches I have ever had. Olives Gourmet Grocer is a deli and grocer that carries gourmet cheeses and meats and even has an olive bar. The sandwich I ordered did not have a name but was filled with hot cured Italian meats, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, pepperoncinis, mayonnaise, red wine vinaigrette and olive oil. It was spicy and delicious. Sometimes, the bread on an Italian sandwich is too hard, but this bread was perfect. My sandwich was only $7.29 but I also spent $2.00 on some olives from the olive bar. I would say that the quality of the food was no where near representative of the price. It was amazing and I truly felt it was worth more than the price I paid.
Since it is a grocery store as well, the only seating for the restaurant is located at small tables outside. Since I was there on a nice day, I didn't mind sitting outside and enjoying the atmosphere that accompanies most places on Broadway.
Olives Gourmet Grocers has two locations, one on Broadway and one on 2nd street in Belmont Shore. If you are ever in the mood to cook something fancy, Olives would be the place to go to get fresh ingredients as well some ingredients that you might not find in a normal grocery store. They have a variety of fresh bread and meats as well as side dishes such as whipped yams.
Do they have an ad?
