Giolitti Delicatessen

Annapolis has some great spots for sandwiches and if you’re not inclined to venture downtown to the historical Chick & Ruth’s to deal with the congestion, parking; Giolitti Delicatessen has a different vibe, and parking right outside easy Peezy. We’ve been there a couple of times over the years but just went twice over the past month and had great experiences. Yesterday, I had a fantastic sandwich called The Porchetta, the roasted pork was amazing and the seasoning was right on point, very good crusty bread. A week later I got another one and this one was perhaps even better! A few weeks ago they didn’t have this available and I went for the Muffaletta, again great bread and nice portions of meat with a spicy olive mix. Maybe not the same as from Central Market but good for Annapolis. T

I worked with Cheryl Molesky on a take out order for 30 people. We planned to provide finger food for an afternoon gathering. She actually suggested that we reduce the amount of food we intended to order, because the portions are so large. I only reduced the sweets, but even so there were quantities of delicious leftovers. The baguette sandwiches were enormous, stuffed with very generous quantities of meats and cheeses. Same for the desserts. I expected the ‘bites’ to be 1-2 bites, but they were nearly the size of the sandwiches. Everyone commented on the delicious food. We always enjoy stopping for a salad or sandwich when we’re in the neighborhood. The ambience is warm and friendly. I thank you for taking care of us.

I am still thinking about that porchetta sandwich. It was the best sandwich I have ever had. Perfectly seasoned, tender pork with crispy edges, all tucked into fresh bread that held everything together without falling apart. Every bite was unforgettable. If you are anywhere near Giolitti Delicatessen, treat yourself to the porchetta. You will understand why I am already craving it again.

The porchetta sandwich was amazing! Jonathan and Henry gave incredible costumer service and my wife enjoyed her tuna sandwich! Wonderful business that we will be returning to for sure.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The Tonno Italiano and Mufaletta sandwiches are my favorites, and if company is coming at the last minute, I'll stop and pick up a lasagna. Of course, I love anyone who makes me a homemade lasagna. :-) The imported foods/gifts are always a hit for holiday hostess gifts, too.
