    This was the first place we ate at with our pups in Atlanta, and were very pleased with the patio seating (it was enclosed) and how they were very accommodating to our yorkies. I got a chicken parmesan sub and it was bland but that was my fault for assuming the chicken would be breaded (it was grilled). I should've embraced the deli like my husband did - he got a beef sandwich that had a side of au jus sauce and he was in love! I give 5 stars for the service and for accommodating our puppies!

    E. 48th Street Market is a one-stop shop for Italian food and wine. It's a small, family owned and operated, New York-style neighborhood market that opened in 1986. It's located in the Williamsburg at Dunwoody shopping center on the northern side of Dunwoody. This place seems to have a little of bit of everything: Italian wine, Italian groceries, a bakery and deli, and they do catering too. They've managed to tuck so much stuff into a small space. If it's your first time, the selection can be almost overwhelming. The wines they carry meet strict Italian quality standards. You can enjoy them by the glass at lunchtime. The grocery's shelves are stocked to the brim with assorted unique imported (and domestic) Italian packaged foods and goods. There's cheese, pasta, and a freezer filled with various meats (steak, sausage, braised beef, meatloaf, etc.) and seafood (clams, mussels, calamari). Beverages include Italian soda, espresso, cappuccino, and more. Behind the ordering counter is a set of shelves with about a dozen varieties of freshly baked breads made in-house daily. Sweets include cakes, such as cheesecake and Italian rum cake, cookies, and other Italian treats like cannoli and tiramisu. The deli has meats aplenty, several of which are imported. The food menu consists of nearly 30 different types of authentic hero sandwiches, pasta dishes, traditional pizzas made with 00 flour, soups, salads, and daily specials. The meatballs and cannoli are huge. The olive oil is imported from a small olive grove in Umbria, Italy. You can bring your own bottles to the market and fill up on their high quality olive oil. The market has somewhat limited hours: Monday-Friday, 10am-7pm; Saturday, 10am-6pm; Sunday, closed. This can make a visit for the Monday-Friday "9 to 5" working crowd challenging, especially if one does not live or work relatively close-by. This market is popular and a neighborhood favorite. Soups include pasta fagioli (pasta and beans), chicken noodle, and Italian chili. I've tried the pasta fagioli. It's a rich and hearty soup. Great for cold days. Salads and sandwiches run about $7 per. Pizzas are $2 a slice (toppings additional). 16-inch square pizzas run about $15-20 each. Sandwiches that have been recommended to me by both staff and regulars include the #7 Stoffato and the #26 Italian beef. The Stoffato comes with three types of cured pork: salami, mortadella, and capicollo. It also comes with provolone cheese, lettuce, and a "special sauce" by default. I was told by staff to substitute oil and vinegar in lieu of the special sauce for a more original experience. I heard the Italian beef is one (of many) things E. 48th Street Market is known for. It comes with a side of au jus and giardinera, which is a spicy assortment of pickled vegetables (onions, celery, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower). You can get the giardinera mild or spicy. The breads and rolls here are the real deal - fresh, and nice and chewy. Combined with the excellent quality meats and ingredients, these make for some truly delicious sandwiches. They're simple, yet tasty, filling and very satisfying. I enjoy every bite. The sandwiches are ideal for both dining in or on-the-go. Either way, they're neatly wrapped in paper. Try a cannolo. The stacks of cannoli sitting inside the glass display case can be hard to resist. They are big, sweet, creamy, and crispy. Service is good. If you have any questions, the staff is willing to help. Plenty of parking is available at the shopping center. If dining on-site, seating options are limited. On busy days, the enclosed outdoor patio may be your best bet.

    I am loving all these little tasty cafe's in the Jett Ferry -Mt. Vernon area. A long timer by comparison the E. 48th Street Market set the standard. It does feel a bit out of place to see something that is more authentic Italian in the area. My readers know this is at the bottom of my list of favored cuisines but there are some redeeming qualities. Rumors of the fantastic breads trumped my aversion and allowed me to enter with an open, and hopeful, mind. There is a charming covered eating area before you enter the market itself. It is sunroom style, white and bright. There is a bit more inside dining area that takes up about half of the retail area. In there you will find a wine dispensary as well as full bottle for sale. The breads used to be baked on site but now they are baked at the other location in Doraville and brought over daily. There is a gluten free menu along with subs, hot food, entrees and salads. Cakes and pastries when you have a sweet tooth and a chill chest of ravioli and cheese as well as some frozen items to take home and serve from your own kitchen. I got a salami and provolone sandwich on the bread I've been hearing about and sure enough, it did not disappoint. Thin outer crisp crust and pillowy interior with just enough chew but not so much your jaw hurts by the 4th bite. The open faced calzones look more like a personal pan pizza with ricotta but tastes much better. 4 to chose from, including a vegetarian option. For the love of god, heat it in the oven and step away from the microwave! The final crust you get is worth it. The market is full of italian dry goods like canned tomatoes, pasta flours and ready made pasta (fresh and dried), oils, seasonings, pizza peels and more. The eclair I had was damn impressive. Nice hefty size, generously covered with ganache. The cream filing wasn't overly thick and clumpy or runny. It was goldilocks just right. Well done! What a neat place that made even a non Italian lover like me very happy!

    E 48th Street is a little hidden gem in Dunwoody. They offer authentic and fresh Italian food, as well as an Italian market. This past time we picked up a meatball sub and cannoli. The meatball sub is good - definitely get it with mozzarella. The cannolis were great as well. My only wish is that they were open until 7:30 or 8 on the weekends and weekdays. They're only open until six on weekends, and seven on weekdays, which makes it hard to get there to grab dinner after work.

    I got the italian beef and it wasn't as good as I was hoping. The charm of the store really set my expectations high, but the beef was kind of dry, and relatively bland. The meatball sub was pretty good, and the cannoli was pretty good as well, if not a bit more cinnamon-y than I'm used to. I'll be coming again to see if they can get another star since I feel like the other sandwiches may be better. They also close at like 4PM or something really early, so it sucks if you want them for dinner.

    E. 48th Street Market and Deli can be found at 2462 Jett Ferry Rd, Dunwoody GA 30338 near Dunwoody Village and Dunwoody Club. There's a J. Cristopher's "To Go" place across the street. I visited E. 48th Street Market without any expectations or recommendations. My dining companions were looking for some place new and something we hadn't tried before. A quick proximity search found this great Italian market with 80+ reviews and 4.5 stars on Yelp. That's always a good start - the other thing to look for is the number of Yelp Elites who have reviewed (Elites are those who have pretty much committed themselves to providing good and plentiful reviews wherever they go - in general their opinions account for about double those with few reviews in my opinion). This is a good method to scout out areas that aren't familiar to me and should work in similar fashion for you. The exterior of the Market (and shopping center) is quaint with a bit more class than the tired facade you typically find in Dunwoody - if there was ever an area that needs a facelift, this is one. Entering you're provided an expansive wall of Italian wines - there's quite a selection. There are also glass cases with the current viands artfully presented with white boards with the daily picks along with pricing for cold cuts - you can basically just point, pay and go or you can do what we did and have a conversation with the person behind the counter to find out first what's the normal process (which we did - she was very friendly and helpful to us noobs), see what the daily specials look like and if you decide to eat there (small tables in the enclosed patio out front) - they will heat up any dishes that need heating and deliver to your table. After taking a peek and a calculated discussion we tried the following: Sicilian Eggplant Lasagna - this is a large cut of reheated lasagna with a bold, meaty tomato sauce. This was good but I found the eggplant rubbery - I won't order it again. It came with a side-salad and a bread-stick so very filling and satisfying. I loved the sauce - worth it's weight in gold to me. Chicken Cutlet Hero - your basic chicken and cheese sandwich with red sauce - my friend Sangam liked it quite a bit and offered up a taste. I could definitely do that one. Mozzarella, Red Peppers and Pesto Sandwich - our resident veggie Sidd enjoyed this quite a bit. I can imagine that they would do a fantastic job with the pesto here. While seated I noticed that one of my Yelp friends had written an very-well-thought-out review - make sure to read Lindy F. for the real skinny on this place. She loves sandwiches and gives it 5 stars on Yelp. I'm not a big sandwich fan so it's tough for me to do the same with a single visit - 4 stars this time with the potential for improvement on the next visit. I'll keep you posted. Overall the service was good considering it was a counter order - the food took about 10 minutes to hit the table and it wasn't packed. Paying took some time as the line started to pick up steam (it was lunch time). I'll certainly come back. Next time I'm going for the Muffalette or Italian beef - the former is tough to find in any passable form in this town (for Italian Beef I still go to Mike's Hot Dogs in Sandy Springs)

    The reviews are right, great sandwiches. This bread is to die for. I'm avoiding the desserts but they look delectable They have a mini market with some interesting wines, and some other grocery items.

    This little hidden gem was a diamond in the rough we were hoping to find. Kelly and I tried this place out on one of our Friday lunch dates. We had no idea what to order so we asked the guy at the counter. He named 3 numbers. I chose one of them and Kelly chose another. I got the chicken Parmesan and I found a little piece of heaven in the process. The bread was sensational, the chicken parm was cut into little pieces making for perfect bites the whole way through. This was the best chicken Parmesan sandwich I have ever had in my life. I recommend going when the weather is warm, because it was a little chilly for my little lady inside. Other than that, we will be going back because the food and service were outstanding. That's my word and I'm sticking to it.

    "Oh, I get it. You're the good cop. How about a meatball sub while you're at it?" -- Mystic River (2003) Long overdue update. I come here a lot - and I often bring friends. That's how much I love this place. Plus, anyone who knows me, knows my father passed down my love of sandwiches. So this is the place for me. I could list all the sammies I love - and I might... okay: Meatball Roast Beef Chicken Parm East Sider (think cheesesteak with marinara) Salami with roasted peppers Muffalette And my fave - the Italian Beef Then they have the daily specials, which are also amazing - calzones, pastas, entrees...the list goes on. And when I finish eating my lunch, I shop for fresh pastas, cheeses, pancetta, lady fingers (they have the real kid - the crunchy ones), breads and even dried pastas and Italian delicacies you cannot easily find around town. They have it all. I've been shopping here close to 30 years, thanks to my Dad, and will continue to do so as long as I live in Atlanta. Don't forget to buy a cannoli on the way out the door!!

    We came here one Saturday looking for a deli we had not been to yet. All of the reviews we read made this seem right up our alley. I had the sorpresatta, and it was DELICIOUS! The perfect blend of flavors. I have already been dreaming about going back. Can't wait until we have some down time to return. This is a locally, family owned deli, and the family is straight from Italy and New York. They bring the traditional Italian New York Deli down to Dunwoody with fresh meats and cheeses, and great side options - you have to try the pasta salads! Definitely a favorite of ours now. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great sandwich or just a relaxing local joint.

    Food is great but the service is nothing to brag about. The people behind the counter exhibit the standard NY mentality of a FU attitude. The lady that works the register is really acerbic in her comments. My advice is DON'T ask questions, don't say hello, just walk in, place your order, pay and then leave. That way you can have a pleasant eating experience otherwise you are going to be pissed the rest of the day. I don't go out of my way to eat here but if I'm really wanting to be slapped around while in the area, I'll stop in for a sandwich.

    Time for an update! After having lunch here today for the Dunwoody Restaurant Week UYE, I started thinking about the many times I have been back to E. 48th Street Market since my review in Sept. 2012. By virtue of being a repeat customer, I figured that my opinion wasn't really that this haven of Italian noms is A-OK. Truthfully, I am now a fan and have had the chance to try many more items, the best things being those that are prepared in-house, such as the stuffed shells, meatballs, and pizza. The food is fresh, very reasonably-priced and so generous in portion that I always feel like I am getting a fantastic deal (we know how much it takes for me to feel that way). After attending the Yelp's Big Bite event here last year and seeing Charlie make mozzarella by hand and giving our group such warm hospitality, I have returned several times. (Fun fact: I bought a tin of Illy coffee that evening and because the store's credit card machine was down and I didn't have any cash, I left on my honor. I was so touched because I had not ever experienced such trust. Of course, I came back within a day or two and ended up buying even more things.) With the Italian diaspora in Atlanta not being as large as that of New York/New Jersey and New England, I confess that while cookies and pastries may not be exactly the same, you can really satisfy any cravings you have without booking a flight up north. The pastas here are amazing. I have bought pasta dishes out of the prepared food case and have taken home boxes of the fresh-made stuff from the fridge. Mean mugs/demitasse cups of coffee are prepared here and if you're like me, you will want to get a biscotto to accompany your espresso. Speaking of which, I am a huge fan of the biscotti (almond lover!!) and ricotta cheesecake. These two things are definitely worthy of praise and compete with any other bakery. I hear the hero sandwiches/subs/grinders (I use the word grinder!!!) are excellent though I am not sure if I have gotten one yet. Maybe that should be on my list for the next time I am in. I do know the breads (baked on-site) pretty intimately though, so I am sure that with good meat and veggies as the stuffing, the sandwiches here must be fabulous. As an indication of how great Charlie is, when I came in today, he totally remembered me and my corny joke about me being V.I.P. (it's because my name is Vi P., haha, yeah, roll your eyes). He gave me a big hug and when I left, he told me to stop by again. I think I will be doing so more frequently. While I make a good cortadito (Cuban "espresso" with a touch of milk), there is something magical about an Italian espresso. Or a macchiato. Or a cappuccino.

    Awesome place for lunch! We frequently stop there on Saturdays and get sandwiches. If you're into making your own pizzas, grab some of their dough and marinara. Good stuff.

    Fantastic lunch spot. Fresh, delicious, authentic Italian deli and grocer. Sandwiches? To die for. My favorite is #20. It can get a little chilly in the winter so bundle up if you get cold like me. Enjoy :)

    Came here shortly after our Tuscan honeymoon in hopes of finding delicious food that would help us feel like we were still in Italy. This place did the trick! They have a good variety and their sandwiches are made simply with high quality ingredients. Highly recommended!

    A short and sweet review for a short and sweet visit. I stopped by for lunch as part of Dunwoody restaurant week. Everyone working there had a huge smile on their faces! They are genuinely glad to help out with whatever you need. To be honest, I was was a bit cautious about going to an Italian place with a gluten allergy. I walked into the restaurant/market and decided to go for it. First, you'll come across the patio which makes for a great dining space. Then, inside you'll find a very cozy deli and store. They have everything from imported pastas to a huge selection of wine. I will definitely be going back to check out the vino. Towards the back, you can see a huge menu overhanging a case filled with olives and artichokes and roasted garlic and pasta. I opted for a caprese salad. I was certainly not disappointed in the salad. A healthy heap of fresh greens topped with homemade mozzarella and then roasted red peppers (not tomatoes to my pleasant surprise). The meal was a perfect quick lunch. Why not 5 stars? Well, unless you go before 11:45 or after 1:30, you're bound to wait a bit - E. 48th is a popular lunch location and not to mention a little small. Manuevering between the choices can be difficult, especially if you need some time. I think next time I go, I'll grab some dinner items from the market section and maybe stay and chat a bit with Charlie.

    FAMILY! I use to go here to this little family run place a lot while living in Atlanta in the late 90's when a girl that I worked with who was transplanted from New York was looking for her kind of food. She knew that I was an explorer and would go from our office in Suwannee and travel all the way over to Dunwoody to give it a try. From the 1st time I ever went there I was completely hooked. The food is always prepared perfect. I can say I have never had anything bad here and I think I have eaten almost everything they make. Plus my New York Italian friend who would complain about everything thing that said it was Italian and not up to her standards finally found her go to place for Sunday Dinner needs. Great selection of hot food is available from Lasagna, to Meatballs, to Open Face Calzones to cold pasta dishes like the Tortellini salad which is my favorite every time I stop as well as Olives and too many things to list here including their own sauce/Sunday Gravy that they sell in both spicy and non spicy versions. The market has Italian coffee, Wine, Bread, Dessert, and Italian Knick Knacks just about anything and everything you could need or want and or they can get it for you. I even bought a direct from Italy Bocce Ball set back around '98 that I still use today! They have been played on traditional Bocce Courts, Grass, Sand, Concrete, Dirt and Weeds and the shine up brand new that's the quality of non food items they have and or can get. I have shopped here, eaten here, sat and spent time here a lot over the years and whenever I come back to Atlanta I always make sure this is one of my go to spots for a lunch or dinner during my trip and to at the very least purchase a few Jars of Sauce to take back home. If I could take one thing home with me regardless of where home is from Atlanta this would be the place. FAMILY! That key word at the top of my review. That's what it's like when you go here. Whether you eat, drink, or just want conversation, they treat you like FAMILY!! That will always get my business!

    I had no idea this Italian market had been here for the better part of 27 years and it's probably because it's tucked away in a small shopping center. Be sure to look for a McDonalds and Chikfila if you're looking for this place. The reason I went in to E 48th Street Market was to get some double zero flour. Very few stores in Atlanta will sell this stuff to "civilians." My boyfriend makes really great pizzas and has been wanting to get some. We were able to get a small 2.2 lb for 2.99. It's an Italian brand and after comparing it to Amazon, E 48th Street sells at a decent price. The store not only sells a few Italian food staples like pasta, flour, sauces, but they also sell only Italian wine and there is a deli/bakery counter in the back. Unfortunately we had dinner plans, but this would be a good place to check out for a quick meal if we're ever nearby. We met Charlie who owns the store and overall, the staff is friendly. Kind of makes you feel like you stepped back in time into a family-owned store.

  • Eric M.

    Having an Italian mom and being from up north, I've had my fair share of Italian meat. Had the stoffato, which was a great sub. People were friendly enough for this off the beaten path place. Nothing remarkable however, and this place is tiny and kind of awkward to get around when it fills up. One center aisle of tomatoes, pasta and all the good stuff. This is more of a deli than anything else, and a good one at that. Definitely a bit of a stretch to call it a market. If you want a friendly stop for a good sandwich with some good Italian meat you can't lose, just don't plan on browsing and hanging around.

    I would have never discovered this place if it wasn't for Lindy's "UY SammiE" this month. It's fairly easy to find because it's conveniently located in a shopping center. There's plenty of parking spots so, no worries there. It's a cozy spot. We did enjoy the covered patio seating and enjoyed our sandwiches. I tried the #10 and the Italian chili. The Italian chili was great and has a spicy kick to it. It was a bit too spicy for me but everyone who tried it, loved it. Expect the bread to be thick french bread unless you specifiy a particular kind. I love how they sell other items in the store from different olive oils to unique dry pastas that you may not find elsewhere. I'll definitely have to return and check out their other menu items in the near future. The 4th star is for the excellent customer service upon my first visit there. They definitely made us all feel welcome and were super courteous to our group.

    We stop there whenever we are in the Neighborhood. We always get enough to take home. Their cannoli's are the best! The meatballs are wonderful. We don't even mess with the marinara sauce like my Sicilian husband usually dies once he gets it home. This one is just that good. The capacola is as authentic as it can be. Thank goodness f or this market.

  • Trevor W.

    It doesn't get any more authentic than E 48th Street. Founded by Charlie and Anita Augello back in the 80's, E 48th captures the neighborhood market and feel of the very streets they grew up on in NYC. It's a family business run by people who genuinely care about the product and service they are putting out into the community. Over the years they have generated a supremely loyal following, a family of which I am now happy to be a part of. The beauty of the market is that it isn't just another store selling Italian food or classic Manhattan fare. It's a carefully researched institution linked to the heritage of the proprietors who focus on bringing the best of their family traditions to the consumer. Whether it be the divine pizzas, succulent sandwiches, or staples like pastas and oils, everything here is as authentic as can be. Charlie even returns to Italy for the olive harvest in the Fall to help press. Everything is prepared fresh in house (the mozzarella is made daily and simply amazing!) or imported from Italy as the genuine article. They've recently added a self service wine bar and enclosed more seating out on the patio. Work your way through the heroes and specials for lunch, take out some pizza or freshly baked bread, or stock up on authentic Italian ingredients for the home. If you're a fan of Italian fare or simply want to experience the real deal, stop by and give this family run business your money. You'll certainly not regret it. Charlie, I'll have a number 6, 15, and 26 please! Oh, and a pizza... just for ME! Molto bene!

    While in Atlanta we visited the 48th Street Market for the first time and found it to be extremely good. The minute we walked inside, the aroma told us we were in the right place. We had the sausage and peppers, along with their meatballs...wow! We also had a mozzarella and prosciutto salad which was equally amazing. The staff was very friendly and we felt at home eating in their small dinning area. They have been in business for over 28 years. This a real gem and we will be back the next time we visit Atlanta.

  • Ed V.

    They do it right. Even if this was up north it would be 5 stars. Best bread in ATL. Grinders(subs) come in too many varieties to mention, favorites are Stoffato and the prosciutto/mozzarella. Can not go wrong with ANYTHING! If you have a big green egg, check out Charlie's video on grilled pizza.

  • Kristin K.

    Tiny little spot in a strip mall. They've got a small eating area, some grocery items, and a couple counters. Lots of Italian goodies. I had the prosciutto, mozzarella, and olive oil sandwich. It was okay. The bread was crispier than I like. I took it home and put some Italian dressing on it which gave it some more flavor and softened the bread up a bit. The staff wasn't exactly warm and friendly.

  • Christina M.

    I have tried this place twice and both times my experience has been underwhelming. Perhaps because I'm Italian and know really good authentic Italian food but this place can't even pronounce the food right! Their sauce is far too sweet for my taste and chicken parmesan is ALWAYS breaded. Their heroes aren't bad and I'm sure the deli meat is fine but beyond that I wouldn't go there for anything else.

    Gather round children, for I have a tale to tell you about a magical land called E 48th Street Market. Italian goods as faaaar as the eye can see (to the back wall), mountains of olives and red and white rivers of the finest vino with rainbow cookies arched in the sky and meat frolicking in the fields of the display cases.. Everyone loves Italian food, right? Well, I don't care if your cat was run over by a Maserati driven by a bologna-eating Pavarotti (I'm so sorry to hear that..) you're gonna LOVE this stuff. E 48th Street Market is named after a location in New York where our heroes (store owners, not the sandwiches) grew up. Charlie Augello and his wife are both from Italian families and their children also help with the business. (Disclaimer: I am part Sicilian from NJ.. This place is crazy glued into my heart.) Not only is it a family biz, (and they close Sundays for their personal, home, family dinners like a good Italian family..) they've also been around for over 30 years.. And it is apparent when you browse the large and somewhat aged photos and articles framed on the walls, just like any proper, self-respecting Northerner-owned business. (Makes me nostalgic for home..) Deli: there is so much meat! If you don't know where to start, try my favorite: the prosciutto de Parma. There's also sopressata, speck, mortadella, salami, etc, and cheeses like provolone. Olives: any kind you like, roasted, sitting all together in big bowls waiting just for you. Charlie and his family go to Italy to handpick special olives from their friends' olive.. uh... garden? Then they press and make their own signature olive oil once a year in November I believe (they have some there now as of 2/4/14) Wine: tons of fancy bottles for sale, but more importantly, a temperature regulated WINE MACHINE from which to pour into glasses while you are there. Yes. You can basically fill a wine card with credits, swipe it and help yourself. It's a beautiful thing I tell you! Also available: quirky, wine related napkins and coasters. Pizza: fluffy, large, fresh and delicious. Legend has it that there an oven in the back that heats up at light speed to cook a pie in record time, and when it is completed, the oven can return to lower temperatures faster than you can say Mambo Italiano, so there is not disruption to any food prep. You can eat in or order to go. Pasta: with homemade ragu, marinara, bolognese. Simple as that and so good. Mozzarella cheese: fresh, handmade, gorgeous.. Awesome consistency and no need to be salted. They even offer for you to purchase the curd so you can make your own fresh at home! Hot and cold sandwiches, meatballs, chicken parm, pasta salad, side salads, olive spread, etc etc all available and not a bad idea to bring home for dinner. Black and white cookies, cannoli, rainbow cookies (some call them tri color cookies), grated parm or pecorino, gnocchi, any shape or length of pasta you need - even gluten free pasta - desserts, fruit cakes, specialty sodas, Baci chocolates, and chips as a side for your lunch. They are literally, all THAT and a bag of chips! (I never really understood that phrase.) I'm so excited to have found this place.. And it is so close to home for me. Besides the fact that everything is delicious (have I mentioned that yet?) Charlie is such a kind and personable guy, and his staff is friendly and helpful every time. Italian everything and un piccolo piece of Yankee heaven. Grazie!

    My first visit here was interesting. It's kinda off the beaten path in Dunwoody (that I'm use to) and to get a better feel for the shop I think I should return when there isn't such a large group around, because this place just doesn't seem to be meant for sooo many people as the group I was with for the UYE on Saturday. I feel like this is a more grab and go kinda place. And the next time I'm in Dunwoody, I just may grab something and go instead of trying to sit and eat. So I was kinda confused on where to order and made the mistake of waiting at the register. I should've asked the group outside where to order but I now know to order at the back counter and pay at the register. I ended up getting the #5 which was the eggplant parmigiana with sauce. It didn't take long to get my sandwich and it was heated very well. The bread was really good and could've bumped them to a 4, but the eggplant was overpowered by it, as it was a thin slice of eggplant and didn't have much texture to it. I'm not sure how the eggplant was prepared but maybe a thicker piece not cooked for too long (roasted, grilled, etc) would be better. Overall, it's a cool place. But again it's super small and if there's anyone perusing items on the shelves you'll have to bust out a few ballet moves to get around them. But I'll definitely return in search of a super yummy sandwich... vegetarian style...

    This was our first time visiting this establishment as it is an hour from our house. I had read about it while looking for good cannolis in Atlanta, so we were up for the drive. My husband ordered the meatball sub which was packed to the gills with meat, cheese, and sauce. It was yummy! I ordered the #7 which is an Italian meat sub. I would have liked to see more lettuce and tomatoes on the sub as it was sorely lacking toppings. The cannoli did not disappoint! It was creamy, not too sweet, and topped at each end with chocolate chips. YUMMY! The store was wonderful and the employees were very helpful! In fact they all were very willing to help and suggest things to make our visit great! The owner walked around to make sure every one was happy with their choices of meals and stayed a few minutes for conversation. It was interesting that most of the customers he knew by name and went out of his way to connect on a personal level with them. We grabbed a pizza to go which was really good. We grabbed an extra cheese though as both my husband and I did not think one would suffice. The pizza kit made a sixteen inch round pizza. The dough was heavenly as was the cheeses and pepperoni. My husband likes my sauce better, but he is biased. I thought the sauce was good! I did not see directions for people who have not made pizza at home. That may be helpful. We also brought home homemade biscotti which was really great, and the vanilla and chocolate filled with raspberry butter cookies which were good. All and all we will be back. It is hard in this day to find a place that is old school customer service orientated and has great food too! This place can be held up as an example to others.

    I like to visit an establishment at a minimum of two times before posting a review. I feel that's just fair. As a NY'er (Brooklyn), even though I live 45 mins west in PA now. It's truly refreshing to find a true deli like E.48th St Market. I travel a lot for work and its sometimes hard to find a non franchise food establishment that's good. E.48th St Market was a score. I've had 2 sammichs from this place and each time they were VERY good. Bread was fresh (very important) and the Soppressata was quality. You can tell the Mozz was NOT pre-packaged. Rule of thumb with a good deli, if they make their own bread onsite. Good chance their products will be good quality. Good Luck, T

    I don't know how this place was never showing up for Italian Beef, I seriously don't live that far away so what gives. Better late than never, right? I'm sure everyone else has covered the other lovely Italian market aspect of this place but I just need to solely write about Italian beef. For $10.99 you can get a tub of frozen beef and gravy, good for 4-6 sandwiches depending on how you load them up. They make their own Italian beef so I mean already I know this is the best you can get around here...I feel the others I've had were definitely frozen and brought in from say, Vienna Beef. You can also get a sandwich here, complete with giardiniera too. And you can buy giant jars of giardiniera, since if you're like me you want to put it on everything you have anyway. They use sub rolls so that's the only downside since typically it's on a chewier bread but to me at least that's not that big of a deal and it's dumb to expect them to have a different bread just for one sandwich. And the beef is pretty freaking good. It's hard to say what it's like if you've never had an Italian beef sandwich, but this could even be good back in Chicago to be honest.. It's a pretty tight space but they've packed it with amazing stuff. I'll be back in a few days for Italian beef to take up to Chattanooga, and I'm sure I'll be doing that often...

    I eat here about once a month. Solid family owned and run sub shop / market. Prosciutto, mozzarella sandwich is one the best sandwiches in metro Atlanta. Bread is tops. House made mozzarella is worth taking home. Italian beef sub was not my thing but seems popular. Efficient and friendly service. This place plus Asian Café, and Crema across the street are probably the best options for dining in the Williamsburg Dunwoody area.

    East 48th Street Market is one of my favorite Italian places in the city of Atlanta. it's owned by a good friend and we really enjoyed just about everything on the menu. My favorite is the Italian sausage sandwich and the cannolis are to die for. The wine selection is very authentic. The owner visit Italy frequently on buying trips. They even have separate Italian ingredients you want to bring it home and cook it. I highly recommend this place. They are well known for their bread. They sell to some of the best restaurants in the city.

    I finally got around to trying this place the other day. I went at lunchtime on a weekday and they were pretty busy. It was my first time there so I had no idea what I wanted. The guy that took my order was really helpful in his recommendations. I decided to try the stoffato which has salami, mortadella, capicola, provolone, lettuce and special sauce(eggplant/tomato spread). It was ok. I didn't find anything special about the sandwich. Even though I didn't really care for the sandwich I tried, I probably will give this place another try since it's so close to my work.

    The only negative thing I can say about this place is that I wish the portions were bigger. The food is absolutely fantastic. The bread they make sandwiches on is superb, very firm and crusty while also being airy in the center like good Italian bread should be. The quality of the cold cuts is a cut above the rest. My two favorites are the Muffaletta and the Sicilian Eggplant. I've never been to New Orleans, but I love this sandwich. Add Fresh Mozz to it. The Sicilian Eggplant is unlike anything I've eaten (and I'm Italian). Think Lasagna but instead of noodles they use the slices of fried eggplant and instead of ground beef they use sliced sausage. Absolutely to die for. I would eat here every single day if I could.

  • Britters B.

    I agree the bread is outstanding and the selection of cannolis are tasty. However, on my 3rd visit here I decided to try the chicken salad sandwich. Holy celery. There is far more celery than chicken in this mayo laden spread they call chicken salad. Highly disappointed considering I just dropped $10 for a hero and a side of spinach. I'm going to keep telling myself that I purchased the fine bread and leave it at that......

    I was so excited to try this place after all the fab rreviews, but I was so disappointed . Maybe the meat selections are good, but the veggie heroes were so not exciting. Got both the veg sandwiches on the menu - the portabello one was good, bread was delish, but the other one with pesto peppers and cheese was like trying to eat leather. Was too disappointed to try the dessert :( maybe one more try at some point

    Good little Italian market! Very friendly. I purchased the impossible find Antimo Caputo flour from Italy. Very hard to find in Atlanta. And it was priced reasonably. I also purchased pancetta. You can get this Italian meat at a lot of places around town, but still not in the grocery stores. While I was there, I ordered an Italian shaved beef sandwich, or whatever they call it. It was tasty, but nothing like the shaved beef you can get in Chicago. To be fair, they serve about 30 sandwich varieties here. And at the good shaved beef places in Chicago they only serve shaved beef.

    I'm not sure what extra info I can provide about this place that other people haven't, but I will say that if you have never been or heard of this place until now then run go check it out. The bread the sandwiches come on is out of control good. Crispy outside with a soft warm center. I'm a big fan of the grilled portabello mushroom, roasted red pepper, and mozzarella (fresh balls) sandwich. I haven't found any sides that I love, which sucks since I'm a total side whore. Side salad blows - skip it. Lots of super special dried pastas abound. I like the mini lasagna one for lasagna soup. E 48th street cannoli are worth the calories. Those creamy filled shells with a hint of cinnamon are so good. Maybe not Antico good, but close.

    Neighborhood treasure. They did the cake for my wedding in the 90's, and their "Eastsider" is one of my favorite sandwiches in the entire city. Family run, and it shows. I could not recommend this place any higher for those looking for a great Italian market.

    Classically styled Italian Deli. Definitely give it a try. I rather enjoyed the spicy sausage sub for lunch one day. You can also pick up some meatballs, marinara, spaghetti, and fresh baked breads to take home and heat up. Various canned goods and wine selection available for purchase as well.

    East 48th Street Deli is one of the very best authentic Italian experiences that you can find in Atlanta. They are family owned and operated and are the kindest people you will ever meet. The family members recognize regulars by name and care for them like they are caring for their own family. The food is phenomenal AND they have tons of stuff that you can take home and bake in the oven like lasagna and ravioli, etc. Their bread is to die for and they also have a huge selection of Italian imported products that are hard to find in other stores. They also house make their mozzarella and they are even bottling and selling their red sauce so you can enjoy it at home if you like now, which is AWESOME!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE BEFORE YOU SHOULD RUN, NOT WALK TO E. 48TH STREET DELI!!!!!

  • Jeffrey D.

    Excellent spot for sandwiches. Old world style pizza just like my grandma use to make. Meals to take home or eat in. To go deli meats, cheeses, salads and bakery items. Groceries, catering and a broad selection of Italian wines. Also, wine by the glass to enjoy with your eat in meal.

    One of my favorite places in Dunwoody. It's walking distance from my house (which doesn't hurt). A family owned Italian deli with lovely people and good food. Great selection of Italian wines. Fresh mozzarella and pasta, pizza dough and sauce, and speciality Italian items. Always a good choice if you're in Dunwoody. It can get crowded at lunch time but it's worth a small wait. I'm a really really big fan of their roasted olives (lemon and fennel). yum!

    "Went" here for lunch today. My client decided to bring lunch to the workers today and this is where they got it from. Had the Roast Beef sandwich and wow it was good! I don't normally give a 5 star on a first review, but this place earned it. Lots of veggies in with the roast beef and just the right amount of spice added to the edges of the beef. Nice hard french bread roll too. I'll have to make a real visit here during my stay to really "check em out"

  • Alex H.

    This is the real deal for an Italian deli. Get a sandwich with a side of pasta salad for lunch. Browse the cannoli's and cookies. The cannoli's are very good, if not the transcendent experience I was hoping for. They have lupini beans and other grocery items. I picked up some fantastic fresh hot italian sausage and made it with some pasta and sauce at home. The loaf of bread I picked up made a nice counterpoint.

    To employ an executive euphemism, "upon further reflection"' I may have been overly harsh in my initial assessment of this unique (in Atlanta) purveyor of many things Italian. And the key here is uniqueness, an Italian neighborhood style store/deli/restaurant, plentiful in the Italian neighborhoods throughout the Northeast, is a rarity in a city with no Italian neighborhood. My first encounter with E. 48th (the market) was lunch consisting of the number 7 sandwich "The Stoffato", a formidable combination of mortadella, capicola, provolone and dressings. The only thing missing was a pillow for the much needed after feast nappy-poo. I bring companion for a luncheon date. A lover of all things Italian, she surveys the excellent breads, baked daily (even on Saturday) the Clemenza size meatballs, classic Italian cookies, olives, wine, and of course, their famous cannoli. A lunch of meatball sub, veal ball, lasagna primavera, cannoli, cures our Italian cravings. The one exception, date's lasagna primavera - was well off the mark; the cheese mixture wasn't working at all and the veggies were about 3 minutes short of al dente. Nevertheless, we depart laden down with bread, oil, pasta, espresso, San Marzano tomatoes and desserts. So when visiting E. 48th Street Market: leave the vegetable lasagna . . . bring the cannoli.

    eyetalian sausage + sangwiches + lots of meat = itza me Mario! This place was packed at noon on Saturday. These Dunwoodians sure get hungry talking about Hemy! I on the other hand was dragged out here by the mizzes and promptly asked the lady what her faves were. "Italian sawsage and peppers" and I'm sold. Bread tasted like subs you'd buy from publix and the sausage was kind of dry. I like my meat hot and juicy... Nothing too special about this place. I don't get the hype. I'll give it another go and grab a hero and some desserts next time. They have grocery items if you're in the mood to get your Batali on! Ciao Bella!!!!!!

    This place is MONEY! I come here often on Friday lunches and am never disappointed. ALL of the subs are excellent and the tortellini pasta is great as a side. When you come here, don't screw around at the counter. Know what you are going to order and place it. The workers here are friendly in a New York-ish sort of way. "What are ya havin' babe?" They aren't rude, just busy. The meats and cheeses (fresh mozz) are seriously legit.

    This place has the best Italian sandwiches in the city, hands down. I also love their selection of groceries to cook with. They have wonderful fresh baked breads, homemade mozzarella, italian deli meats, wines, and a great menu consisting of Italian heros and some basic entrees. The red sauce here is so good, and they even offer it up frozen- just in case you'd like to take some home with some of their fresh pasta and share with the family. The desserts are succulent, as well. Oh, and one more thing--the Italian chili is to die for! This is my favorite kind of little place. I am getting hungry thinking about it!

    I came here with my daughter for lunch recently and was not to happy with the food. We ordered 2 sandwiches mine was sopresatta fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers..the ingredients were good there was just not enough of anything on the sandwich, it was very dry and I boring. My daughters was an Italian combo and it was the same very dry and skimpy on the meat. Now maybe I am a bit biased having come from a family in the Italian specialty food business in Brooklyn, so I am used to amazing sandwiches being the norm at an Italian market. Maybe it was a bad day for the sandwich maker, I will give them another chance. The service was friendly and fast and they seemed to be busy. They do carry some hard to find goodies that us yankees appreciate.

    I know this entire family now and they are deeply genuine devoted family people that really care about what they do. E 48th St Market is simply terrific and that family quality shines through here. Having lived in NY and Philly myself...There's a big gap in finding anything like this until you hit Atlanta from there. I could have dined all day....olives, cheeses, breads, sauces, pastas, gourmet meats and deserts...I love a substantial meatball...which I paired with an incredibly delicious porttion of meat lasagna....still licking my lips days later....and I don't live in Atlanta...I was on business there and made sure E 48th St Market was on my agenda. Well worth the planning. This place was crawling with regulars on a wednesday lunchtime as well. It's simply excellent and authentic...and an absolute gem of an establishment...am now craving lasagna.....and meatballs.....Charlie...we're begging for a Charleston, SC branch of E 48th St Market....!!!!!

  • tony m.

    I have to admit that I have not fully explore their menu. Growing up outside of New Orleans, I came here for the muffuletta. While it is not in its traditional form, the ingredients are top quality and it's a New York take on a N.O. tradition and a tasty sandwich. The Italian Beef sandwich is the bomb. I live 30 minutes away so when I make the trip I agonize over which to get the Italian Beef or muffuletta.

    Ordered: - sausage pizza - vegetable pizza - meatball sub - slice of Italian rum cake I really liked the pizzas. I can't describe the combination of flavors, but when I close my eyes I can still taste that first bite (and not because I didn't brush my teeth and floss, because I did). I really liked the bread the meatballs came in, it was chewy, crusty, and awesome. The rum cake was strong and delicious. Uh, basically, I'm going to hit up this place a lot :)

    I've been a regular at E 48th for years, in part because of the high quality Italian foods and in part because of the people who work there. It's kind of like Cheers, where everybody knows your name. I'm pretty sure I've been greeted by name pretty much form my second visit on - and that's not where it ends. Andrea, who will most likely be ringing you up, will feel perfectly entitled to comment on your order and make any changes she thinks necessary. For instance, never try to buy just 2 or 3 rolls because it's not as good a deal as getting a half dozen so that's what you will be getting, whether you want them or not. One of my favorite things is to get some rolls, some boiled ham, some gardiniera and pasta salad and have a little picnic outside on their patio if it's warm enough. Also, they have great stuff so you can make your own pizza at home, dough, fresh mozarella, sauce, killer homemade sausage and I always hide a little verdura (spinach with garlic, olive oil, parmigiano) under the cheese to sneak a little health food in. They also do great fresh pastas - I love buying their fresh lasagna noodles since it's so much less work than boiling the dried ones and much tastier and more toothsome than those no-bake ones. So go become a regular today and tell Andrea I sent you.

    I stopped by here after a match to grab a few things. I addressed my first concern, immediate hunger, with a prosciutto & mozzarella sandwich. I was considering pizza or a calzone, but was a little disappointed when I found out that the calzones and pizza aren't made to order (I'm sure they are probably good). So I went with a sandwich. The sandwich was pretty tasty and had a good bit of meat on it. The bread was a little too tough though, but I did get there at the end of the day so maybe I shouldn't expect much. I addressed my second concern, future hunger, with some pizza dough and sauce. A few days later I made a pizza with their dough & sauce in my non-coal, non-1000 degree oven on a makeshift pizza stone. The pizza was pretty good for homemade, but it wouldn't win any awards. The sauce was pretty tasty, but not amazing. I was pretty satisfied with the dough - good flavor and texture (even the bottom of my pizza was a little tough - I think I cooked it too long though). I'd get this stuff again. Service was friendly and helpful, but it was also fairly obvious that they were ready to leave - I felt sort of rushed and didn't really feel comfortable looking around for a while to really check out everything they had. Anyway, I'll be back. 4

    Wonderful cannoli cream! They were very kind to sell me a couple pounds and a few shells to garnish a cake with cannoil filling. I received rave reviews from the birthday girl.

    After over four years working in the Perimeter area, I FINALLY discovered this place. It's in Darkest Dunwoody, which is barely 10 minutes from my office (the time I'd spend waiting in line somewhere closer). The first time I went, the owner introduced himself, and the guy in front of me recommended his favorite sandwiches. Both times, I've ordered very basic, non-adventurous things (Italian beef and chicken parm) from the sandwich menu - there's so much to choose from that I get option paralysis and do what's easy because there's someone behind me. Next time, I'll plan to buy some of the homemade mozzerella and italian sausage to cook with, and consult the take-out menu for the less obvious options. I also like it because it's a nice break from the office-park-chain-restaurant area I work in. There's a little bookstore next to it, and it's very neighborhoody. These reviews have helped me in my quest to move beyond the sandwich menu when I return - thanks, Yelpers!

  • Kate C.

    We went for lunch last week and had the daily special, lasagna. It was great. It was filled with flavorful meat and cheese. It was the perfect balance between both. It could have been heated up more. It appears that pretty much everything is pre-made and reheated upon ordering. I don't have a big issue with this because it does keep the prices down. They had a wonderful selection of meats and cheeses. The imported candies and homemade cookies seemed a little steep to me. I definitely plan to go back and try more!

  • Julie R.

    First of all, I must say that I will definitely go back to this place despite my giving it only 3 stars. Here's why I'm so stingy with the stars despite my plans to give it more business. Have you ever microwaved bread? If you are desperate for a snack in the office circa 3pm, and you forgot to bring any treats, you may find yourself scavenging in the office kitchen to see what semi-edible grubs are available in the fridge. That's what happened to me on more than one occasion, and one thing that I could always count on were the abundance of left over rolls from Panera. The trick is to microwave them for just the right amount of time with a wee bit of water in a cup, and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. Mircrowave them too long, though, and what you'll end up with are rubbery, ridiculously hard to chew nonsense that not all the butter in the world can rescue, and this is *precisely* what I encountered with E 48th Street's hoagie roll. I'm not saying that they microwave their bread. Maybe the baker was overzealous with kneading their dough that day. I don't know. All I know is that the hoagie roll was rubbery, ridiculously hard to chew nonsense that was a huge distraction from the wonderful meats it sandwiched. Because of this wonderful middle, I will definitely go back and choose another type of bread to see if the two parts can make magic vs. go all N & S Korea on me. Maybe the evil hoagie was an isolated incident, but it was horrible enough for me to never want to try it again.

    Just moved to Atlanta from long island , NY. i was told that this is the only italian deli around the area that was any good. bad first experiance. Clerk was not friendly. Not rude, but would not engage in any small talk. Fresh mozzarella was the worst i ever ate. sour taste with no salt and no flavor. Store made roast beef was dry as can be. Will try the Ravioli tonight.

    A genuine New York style Italian market and deli restaurant in Dunwoody. If you close your eyes, you'd think you are in the City. The sandwiches are generous and served on freshly baked bread. We have also used their catering services for large dinner parties and have not been disappointed.

    I'm back home! Thank you for the E. 48th Street Market, the ONLY Italian deli/market in Atlanta that is a real Italian deli. Why doesn't Atlanta have more of this? We will never become a true city without delis, butchers, fish markets, bakeries, etc. One of the best parts of this deli is the fresh bread every morning. Get there early to get the best selection, and on holidays call ahead and reserve your bread or you are not getting any!!! They can also make specialty breads upon request (stuffed with mozzarella or prosciutto). Great sandwiches for lunch, all of your favorite Italian cured meats are represented well. Prosciutto, Capicola, Soppressata, Mortadella, Salamis....and hot sandwiches with delicious meatballs, sausage, and fresh mozzarella. We need more Italian delis in Atlanta! It's time to start picketing phony delis like Jasons. Protest, call your local congressman, tell them we need more E. 48th Street Markets!!! We want fresh meats, fresh cheeses! We need representation! Ok, rant over. Ciao.

    I hauled out to a way out of the way section of Dunwoody in hopes of finding someone who can give me an Italian sub similar to my beloved Augustino's in Illinois. Well, I can't say I found it here, but I did get a delicious sandwich and my wife had a Calzone which she enjoyed too. East 48th also has a good selection of Italian groceries and wines. If I find myself in the area, I may come back and visit, but its not in a good location for me.

    I can't remember exactly what brought me to this place but I have been back more times than I can count. Walking through the doors is like stepping into a true New York/Italian cafe. All their pastas are delicious and homemade, the sandwiches are big enough for two people to share (I usually order the meatball sub or the chicken parm sub) and there is a small area to eat inside if you want to. One look around and this store caters to all types of crowds: there is fresh meat in the deli section, desserts, dried pasta, anything Italian, ready made side dishes, and bottles of wine. Don't forget they also serve the best illy coffee! I have loved everything that I have ordered - the only downside is that the prices are a bit expensive, do not expect a $5 foot long here and for good reason!

    After reading the great reviews and looking at their menu online I couldn't wait to try E. 48th Street Market, and stopped there on the way home from picking Mom up at the train station. I was expecting it to be a lot bigger since they list over twenty types of bread and fifteen desserts on their website; sadly they don't make every item every day so the selection was rather skimpy. I specifically went there for sfogliatelle, which they didn't have that day, however I was able to buy some that were frozen and baked them at home, so crisis averted (ask for them, they are not in the freezer section). I also wanted to pick up some torrone candy and was happy to find a variety of flavors and sizes, as well as a good selection of other candies I remember from my childhood "up nawwwth." For lunch we got sandwiches and ate outside, Mom ordered the #20 Mozzarella, Roasted Peppers, Fresh Basil w/ Pesto and I got the #26 Italian Beef with Mild Giardinera; both were very filling and tasty. As for the groceries, they had some interesting items - some imported from Italy and some from NY/NJ - they also had a lot of items/brands that you could easily get at Publix, Kroger, or Whole Foods. As for the deli, I saw something that turned me off to their ready to eat prepared meals - there were dishes of pasta salad, roasted veggies, little pizzas, etc. that were not only sitting out at room temperature, but were poorly covered with plastic wrap. They looked good, and the flies sure seemed to be enjoying them, but I've learned to be a little picky about food safety since Hubby's a restaurant food safety specialist and works for the FDA. So I asked the kid behind the counter if it would be OK to get some of those salads to go, or if they had to be eaten in the store, thinking that they are using "time in leu of temperature" which means you can leave something out at room temp for up to four hours, but then you have to throw it out. If that's what they were doing I would have expected him to say you can only get those if you're going to eat at the tables, or tell me what time I had to eat it by if I got it to go. But oh no, he says "I guess you can leave it out until you want to eat it." Wrong answer, besides what if I wanted to eat it tomorrow? So I say to him "Well I don't want to leave it out for too long, that doesn't seem safe" (trying to give him a hint) and ask how long it's been sitting out already (it is around 3:00 PM BTW)...and he shrugs. So I would stay away from anything on top of the deli case just to be safe, or at least ask one of the adults what time it was made. It's a nice place but I wasn't blown away like the other reviewers, maybe they went on the weekend when all the breads, cookies, and desserts were out; I'll have to go back on a Saturday next time. The husband and wife (or brother and sister?) were helpful and friendly, and they chatted with the regular customers and asked about their families; has a nice neighborhood feel to it. I'll be back soon for more torrone and sfogliatelle, and I'll bring Chris to get his opinion on the ready to eat foods.

    I just love this place for the authentic food, especially the Italian sandwich choices. Personally, I favor prosciutto or capicolla, maybe some provolone on an Italian roll - you get the picture. They also have a nice wine selection - with good advice included. Plus, they have a selection of baked goods or deli meats. A nice, small outdoor seating area makes it a great place to stop for lunch or carry out.

    Being Italian I must say this place definitely gets my thumbs up for a good homemade meatball sub, and lots of other great Italian dishes! Ive even picked up a bottle of wine, and other extras here. The garlic rolls are so fresh and good, you literally taste em in your mouth for days after (so only eat these when your not with your loved one, unless you both eat em, that cancels it out, lol)! If your around this side of town its worth running in for a quick pickup or sit out on the little porch they have and relax! Buon Appetito!

    There are few places like this in the south. It's a real NYC deli run by a real NY family. It doesn't seem like much at first. It's sort of a restruant, and sort of a grocerie stors. But the food and specialty items are the best in class. And, the wines rival the best italian restaurants. Easy to rank this place a 5 star.

    The best thing that E. 48th Street Market has going for it, along with the food and all the other things mentioned in other reviews, is its authenticity. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff are genuine and consistent. We had a couple of prosciutto/mozzarella sandwiches (#15, mine with red peppers), and picked up a couple of Italian specialty items that you couldn't find at Alon's, let alone Kroger/Publix. We also appreciated the poster promoting the Italian Film Festival at GSU later this month. Props to all the other reviewers--talk about consistent--all 4 and 5 stars! Keep up the great work!

    New York Italian family owned deli with all the wonderful meats, olives, pasta, and meatballs that you can eat. There's even some covered outside seating. A little pricey, but there's no other place like it in Atlanta. Delicious.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
