Family Food: One of a Kind Italian Deli Food at Tony's Beechhurst
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 01. 2017
- In this episode of Family Food, we head to Tony's Beechhurst in Whitestone, Queens to eat Italian deli food like no other. We meet Emilio and Jospehine Polito, immigrants who worked tirelessly to make Tony's into the neighborhood staple that it is today.
Their three sons-Tommy, Mario, and Angelo-all work in the deli too, and will remember your name, your order, and be the first to tell you that nobody's cooking compares with their mom's. Getting to know the Politos is a true first glance into what it means to run a family business. Tony's is their home. We just might move in, too.

I became 3% Italian after watching this video.
Steven Brown wow you are so unfunny
@Steven Brown oh cool.
This must be the funniest comment here
what did steven brown say
i became 103% italian after watching this video.
The only thing that hurts me is these businesses are suffering from big chain companies and franchises. So always buy from them even if it’s cost a little extra
Lol, nice marketing
@@datapatch7381 well he s right ...
Jon Snow you know nothing “jon snow”
Unfortunately true. Killing mom&pops
So true
That's the most Italian American family I've ever seen
Frank pinellos family same
This is how alot of Italian families who still live in nyc are still communities but we're shrinking my families born and raised in Bensonhurst and never want to leave
@@NYCfrankie but isn't the community shrinking. Are there any italian speaking americans still remaining in new york cus most of them have been assimilated
@@garnachowoodutd yes we're absolutely shrinking where I live in Bensonhurst Brooklyn it use to be 90% or more Italians now its half Italian half Chinese they've moved in and taken over and yes im absolutely the minority as some1 who Italian American and speaks Italian most are now madigans and completely assimilated
What about the cake boss family?
My condolences to the Polito family on the Passing of Mario.(RIP) The First time I watched this on munchies I felt so connected to the Polito's because they remind me of my family close tight-knit Italian family. I can't begin to imagine how hurt they must feel my prayers are with you and your family.
wait, what!!!
@@chrisjimenez6712 Yes, Mario passed away several days ago. so sad!
@@lalama741 how did he die?
@@dennismartin4794 shoveling snow heart attack
No way! Rest in peace Mario, brought me many smiles. Love from Australia
This place has cured my hangover 1 too many times and deserves all the recognition in the world. Their coffee slushie is CRACK I tell you. I'm so glad my cousin lives right down the road!
@Steven Brown What do you mean he's lying?
@Steven Brown Lol wtf. Most people aren't going to know what a granita is, coffee slushie is much more descriptive so he prolly just used it for that reason. And none of the other things you said contradict him, he didn't say that he had just gotten a coffee slushie. Chill the fuck out mate
So you're the clown he's always complaining about?
@Steven Brown hahahaha wait, you're actually mad and calling someone a liar for saying they have been to a place anyone can visit?. LOL...
@Steven Brown Lol ,pls keep this going its nice, and cringy so far xD!
Mario is the human embodiment of the phrase "hey I'm walking here".
R.I.P Mario, may he forever keep walking here!
Barrack Obama hEY! am woukin heeah
And that phrase fits well since it sounds ssoo Italian haha 💖
Very cool Obama!
haha YESSSS!!
i read this in a thick English Italian accent and idk why
When the owners speak Italian you know the food it’s going to be good
@Sindy Richelle nice stolen comment
Businesses likes this are the backbone of an American neighborhood.
laces out
Watch Amazon buy this place soon
Yep. That’s why the government closed them down with an iron fist and the public applauds it.
@@oldironsides4107 I don't know about the government, but your sick in the head if you think the public applauds this, and DON'T give me the excuse of those weirdos on the internet or the vocal minority that always tries to bring up problems for no reasons (radical leftists and extreme right-wingers) at the end of the day the vast majority of people support these kinds of family establishments contrary to the shit you seem to believe. Stop speaking ill into existence.
Taco Bell is the spot in my neighborhood!!
I love these kinda places
Spencer Rotgans move somewhere else then asshole
Honestly, who could not love these small family owned & operated eateries? Most are true culinary gems maintained by true to their community owners that put quality and service above profit and volume. It's a dying breed in the era of corporate chain fast food and franchise restaurants such as Denny's, Chili's, and such. (Which of course have their place in our community and offer up their own benefits to the middle-class dinners) The biggest reason I fell in love with San Francisco was its vast difference from the Las Vegas, Nevada & Scottsdale, Arizona scene that is just overrun with franchise/chain food, not to mention the countless Walmarts.
This has kind of given me inspiration because i'd love to open my own deli. I've been cooking for almost 15 years now but these guys make me feel like i'm rediscovering that passion for food all over again
ten years ago i used to come here as a kid and it was one of the best delis ive ever been in still looks the same.
Spencer Rotgans nice one dipshit
I live right up the block for my entire life. Food is legitimate and the family is great. They always remember you.
Lucky you, from TX
@@3rdcoastghost Sorry for the late response. I had their meatballs yesterday. The sauce is fantastic.
@@Metsfan1986 kudos!
Somewhat Knowledgeable Geek what do u get from Tony’s I’m close also
Lol fatass
The owners son, Mario, just died of a massive heart attack at 42 years old, all from shoveling snow.
Just goes to show that work isn't everything, gotta take care of your health and put yourselves first.
Couldnt help but remember the scene in this episode where he says he had his 4th coffee espresso of the day.
Rest In Peace, Mario.
That's terribly sad. Inna lillahi wainna illyhi raji'un(from God we come to God we'll return)
thats so sad to hear. I remember watching this video as it released and randomly stumbled across it again and hearing this sad message.
Too much caffeine.
Bro he has a young kid too, so sad.
@@julioiglesias1989 lack of sleep, lack of exercise, dude was at the family deli all damn day. It's really unfortunate. Bless his soul.
Rest in peace Mario. I remember when I lived in New York, me and my family would always come to tony’s deli and we loved you. You were like family to us, rest easy.❤️
What?!
@@sheccid3045 if you scroll up, you'll see that someone said he died a month ago
@@sheccid3045 If you check their instagram, you can see multiple posts about Mario
Who is Mario people keep mentioning on this soul food channel???
@@Roomfullofstrangers It's one of the guys featured in this video, he used to work in the deli
As a native New Yorker who grew up in the 70’s, this is becoming a rarity more and more.
I miss the Italians I grew up with.
Yeah, if you grew up in places like Corona, Queens there used to be Italians everywhere. I don't know where they all moved to.
@@fightsports66 the original died and their offsprings are the new generation of not caring about your heritage or anything of the likes
@@dumdumdumbest834 theyd rather make thai noodles or some shit. Its sad as hell
No they were in Manhattan to I grew up in New York Manhattan all my life and there were a lot of it Italians t of Queens 2 where did they all go to I love me some Italian food oh and let's not forget about Parkside the other Italian restaurant in Queens really classy fancy elegant place that place has been there for years and it makes a lot of money and it's got a lot of its regular a lot of new people that is a fancy elegant place in queens
Amira Blue.b I used to go to park side restaurant all the time, great place. I mostly grew up on Long Island which is where most of the Italians that used to live in NYC went.
Only two places in Queens that have Italians left, Howard beach and Ozone Park.
Dude worked 16 hours a day for 6-7 years. Thats incredible.
SPEEDIE LOKO ur dumb asf this video was made 2 years ago🤷🏿♂️
Immigrant mentality
Malachi Murljacic hard workers mentality..
jako 792 mostly immigrants work like that tho despite what your daddy trump tells you
Yea Ight foo hahahah my daddy trump?!
I used to work for a company here in Kansas City owned by Italians a few years back. The actual work itself was super shitty but I showed up early every day and always gave them 100% so we always got along. When my grandpa fell ill the same year I started their entire family held me up. My Christmas bonus was $1k cash which was 20x what I expected and they gave me all the time off I needed to take care of my grandpa until he eventually passed. Going into work every day was a treat because the environment was very similar to this. Jovial, caring, positive, playful, empathetic, wholemome. Just all around great people. Then covid hit and I wound up losing the job, as everyone else did and none of us ever looked back. But I still carry with me the fondness and love that I felt from them the whole time. Thank you for sharing this, brought me a much need burst of joy.
What was the name of the place? Lived in KC for many years.
Man, I hope they're alright in this pandemic.
They look like a takeaway business hopefully they good
Just went today & talked to Angelo. He was saying it was slow to begin and now it's picking up. Place was crammed at 1pm which is a good sign
@@user-rd7ol3tp3p that's so glad to hear! Hope Emilio and his wife are healthy

@@nowaynoway915 but its true the peaceful protests turned into extremely worse shit

Idk if it makes it better or worse that he got fired shortly after.
Senator Huey Long wait did he actually get fired
@@ol1mar Yes, he did.
@@GeneralBurkhalter1 no he didn't you fucking liar and attention seeker
Jansori Jansosten what happened
If I lived in New York, I'd be a regular at places like this. I'd go totally native, walking around in suspenders, a T-shirt and a newsboy hat, until somebody reminds me it's not the 1950s and I'm Chinese.
Bro, you totally seem like an awesome guy!
@@mumme2004 Meh, wait till you see me try to lead a street gang into a choreographed dance routine, like in West Side Story or Sha Na Na.
This made me LOL
Thomas ...oh! I didn’t expect that buddy, but its fine!
With that outfit? Most probably the 1920s...
*9:00* I love that the grandmother calls her granddaughters "principessa" or "little princess".
principessa is only "princess"....little princess would be "principessina"...like "bambolina" is little bambola..little doll
Just needs a small table outside for Tony, Silvio and Paulie to sit at.
Not vito though ;)

@@limbokillah1397 need a big table for that
Paulie: "Hey Ton, ya see the size of the meatballs on this thing?"
@@TheLordZoka "Ha Ha"
3:44 mario does a fistbump. But the ponytail guy throws a high five . Both walk away in shame.
I know, that hurt to watch
Maybe because he wore a glove and they don't want to expose the inner hand where most of the work happens to outsider. Perhaps
Mauz also because who high fives after the age of 9
where im from its fine to high five a fist bump lol nobody thinks nothing about it
@@ygbh5934 you my sir are from hell
these places are becoming a extinct. Always support local business. of course its gotta be good too!
if only people did this to all LV's brands to mainly local events to neighborhood things ah.....
the local joints care hard working *not saying those working at big name joints aren't RESPECT THOSE PEOPLE FFS*
@Kilo Byte Those are still small businesses though.
@Kilo Byte I'm assuming you live in NY. I see just as many places closing as opening its pretty even. What's scary and shitty is when the building is bought and turned into upscale housing for the yuppies.
@Kilo Byte That's true too. Some of that affordable housing especially around dumbo is like super upscale and really nice. It's crazy.
i live in jersey and theres places like this on every corner
Man such a healthy relationship between the parents, their kids' wives are going to be lucky because they will know how to treat a lady properly. Props to this family.
Is it weird that once in awhile I'll always come back to this video and watch it again, I'm not even Italian or from New York but everything about this video just makes me feel good and happy. Also reminds me of good times for some reason lol.
That's why I'm here today. I needed a nice video to brighten up a day and came back to watch this video cause I knew it would do the job.
Same here. Sweden. I rewatch this once every few months or so, just something about it that's cozy, welcoming, wholesome. Just all round good.
This is soul food, not Italian. I"m so confused.
@@Roomfullofstrangers uhm..i dont think it was solely the food that made them coming back to this video.
Same here haha. Sad to hear that Mario passed. He seemed like fun guy.
I don't really have many reasons to go into Queens from Brooklyn, but after watching this, it's time to take a trip to Whitestone.
Galactic123 Same lol
Same ❤️
This would be worth a trip from California!
Make sure you get to Cherry Valley.
I saw that about the other borough's. I'm from Queens 😂
The American dream exemplified with this lovely family right here.
What is the american dream?
U-S-A U-S-A
And they didn't just "Jump the Border" to get here either....
mahdi yes there is, it's called work hard and you will be successful. Stop the lame excuses.
teggiano salerno that’s called a “Dream”, not an “American Dream”. Maybe for you there is but trust me, most people but their asses to support their family, and even them life throws the worst at them. We live in a world where people oppress each other for their race, gender, sexuality, religion, creed, and more, and when that person who is being oppressed is trying to rise society takes away opportunities from them, and try to break them... constantly! What works for you may not work for others. You have a roof over your head, and food on your table... that’s living in comfort. Not everyone is as privileged to have what you have... don’t compare your life to others.
This is what makes America special: immigrants. It's boring to just have one kind of people. I lived in Mexico for 8 years and I missed the variety of people in Los Angeles California. Now that I am back, I go to the Armenian bakery, the Korean BBQ, the Italian pizza, the jewish matzo soup, indian food, arabic food, and the options are endless. Thank God for immigrants.
Brendan Fleming yes, but America is regarded to have the most immigrants living here. and it isn’t a competition
Usa is a melting pot, but it's cooking the people inside
@Brendan Fleming Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world. It is not a good example.
@Brendan Fleming ok ben shapiro
@Brendan Fleming The only inaccuracy here is your inability to read the initial post properly. If anything, he was talking about Mexico's lack of cultural diversity, as opposed to America being the only country with an immigrant population. Stop watching so much Ben Shapiro, it's giving you second-hand impressions of intellectualism which, judging by your lack of basic comprehension, you don't possess.
As someone who goes here about once a month. This place is phenomenal. The staff and the food is one of a kind. It’s more than just food it’s an entire experience. Really wish there was more places like this.
Yeh places like this are dying out in nyc everything is being bought by big businesses becoming corporate I'm born and raised in Bensonhurst Brooklyn my aunt lives in ozone park in queens its like 15-20 minute ride from here every time I visit my aunt or cousins I stop by they have amazing food
this is the kind of Deli Peter Parker would frequent.
Yeah i can see that
I live right around the corner from this place I grew up around there
Pappara puppiri
Bucket list: eat at a deli that Peter Parker would frequent, then go to a party that Tony Stark would frequent, then end up in a bar that Frank Castle would frequent.
This is just a deli what the fuck
This is like a scene from Goodfellas
or a DLC from MAFIA II
idiot
I wonder how many aprons they wasted...
@@tommclarty17 I think he used five, we gotta toughen this guy up!
Exactly
Ate here today (visiting NYC) and they're even more welcoming in person. Took me and hour and 30 minutes to get there from Manhattan, but it was worth the wait. They're even nicer in person, give you small samples of the iced expresso if the wait is taking a bit, and my god, the food is even more delicious than it appears in the video.
Great value for the money too. A huge ass panini, ziti, and 2 cannolis for $23 in NYC is a steal. Definitely making a return trip before I leave.
they still open? covid had a big impact on thoses types of stores
Ooooo ate where? this young lady runs a restaurant? are you commenting on the correct video? this is soul food, not Italian. I'm going to NYC soon, that is why I ask.
@@hunterbear2421 Oh yeah, they were pretty busy both times I went. Keep in mind this was around noon, so you had the lunch hour crowd there, but they had a consistent flow of people coming in.
They're out in Queens, so it was about an hour by tram and 30 minutes by bus from where I was staying in Manhattan, but was well worth the time.
@@WhoopityDoo well good to know i may visit some day. i live in Alberta canada so it would be a pretty long drive
@@hunterbear2421 Better off taking a plane to LaGuardia and go from there. No sense in driving that far.
This is the most wholesome thing on CZcams.
These guys are honestly the nicest people. I've been going to eat here for years, the food is amazing, best homestyle italian food I've had.

@@davidrobinson3148 Can I ask - I recently did a Pizza trip to NYC with my friends. We are thinking of doing a deli trip next - would you say its worth the detour coming/going to Cape Cod? :) This place looks fucking amazing though!
Rest In Peace Mario…

Hey Munchies, thanks for making these shows about real food and real people. This reality is something you seldom see in the media these days, people building communities and families with hard work. Don't get me wrong. Watched every episode of Chefs Night Out and loved it. I'm a middle class, silver-spoon-up-my-ass, sous vide-and-cocktails kinda asshole myself. But there is nothing I have more respect for than this family right here. Keep it up.
Very true..I just subscribed and I am hooked.I am so motivated..Love it..Thank you Munchies
Independent journalism at its best
My prayers go out to this beautiful family Rest in peace Mario 🙏
Mario, known you a long time. Great person in and out. RIP my friend, my brother. You will be missed. Always in our hearts.
you know its gonna taste good with its cooked by an italian mom!
will park omg I do 😍
Wtf is your grammar
thats so fucking racist. i identify as an italian mom who does not cook tasty therefore i am triggered.
Valencia!!
Alvaro E HA😂
People need to take their business to these family establishments they're slowly disappearing and will be sorely missed when they're gone...
People "need" to take their business whereever they please.
BeardedDanishViking no not really... guy is correct.
@Trash FortnitePlayer you re such a giant idiot, shame on you
Trash FortnitePlayer of course they can eat wherever lol... and that will forever continue but the “people can take their business wherever they please” is obvious.. but does nothing to address the matter/topic at hand and what places like this provide/mean to people.
@@BeardedDanishViking Grilled chicken with sautéed onions and green peppers, topped with melted Swiss cheese on a grilled hoagie bun
I come back to this video every so often and it never fails to make me feel good. RIP Mario
Amazing the father is what his generation is all about, hard working and just about family. Their family is just beautiful. They are a typical close knit Italian family.. truly blessed!!
Comes over from a different country, joins the Navy, & then opens up a great small businesses and employs people. Awesome story
Don't Tread On Peewee thats the different between italian immigrants vs the types that come today
@@Seabass1206 no thats pretty constant. Look in any immigrant community its full of small businesses that employ family/locals.
@@Seabass1206 dude 2 neighborhoods over is a Taqueria with the EXACT same story. Family that came over here, and built a small Taqueria and are passing it down to their boys. But i guess it isn't the same because....?

I would kill for a place like this in my neighborhood. Id eat there 24/7
I swear, damn
Same 😩. I'm in Queens so it's nice excuse
Same
Phew that's a lot of eating
Not 24/7 but at least once a week. The food looks beautiful.
true family work ethic and the food looks on another level
I went here about 1 Month Ago and the Family is exactly like this in Person... Tommy was my server and the Mom still cooks in the kitchen everyday. Great Service and you can feel the LOVE....
Glad they survived this pandemic
This is so Italian that I’m reading the comments in a New York Italian accent.
@El Dios Otto I highly doubt that.
@El Dios Otto The fact that people all over the world use paper cups so Italians most definitely use them as well 100%.
@El Dios Otto Yeah Mr. I speak for all of Italy. How would they serve it in a glass beer shot glass???? Holy shit man you don't speak for all of Italy even if you've "been there."
El Dios Otto obviously not been to Italy recently then
DinoGaming44 no, trust me.
Their entire family is soooo likeable
Anthony Liu I agree, they seem like some of the most genuine and kind people around.
What a beautiful family! All laughs and smiles, so heart warming! May God bless them!
Rest In Peace Mario 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's probably the last place i'd rob on the earth, these kinds of people makes me think there's some sort of hope for humanity
Come in to my shop, (CCW, permit) I'll send you running with .45 round. That' if I don't "drop you". Think hard dude, is it "worth" your life.
Jack Wongen what's with the quotations lol.
where is it?
why would you rob someone in the first place
Yo Mama exactly! 😂
I lived in Whitestone for years and went to Tony's deli every day. I miss that place more than I can express! Glad to see that they are still alive and thriving!!!
RIP Mario gofundme for his wife and daughter
Rest In Peace Mario 🖤 you’ll always be remembered through your family and your amazing work
After watching this, I realized smiles really are infections. I found myself smiling along with them. What a joyful family. The fact that they learn everyone's name, even if it's the wrong one, is such a small but touching thing to do in a big city when one can oftentimes feel anonymous. Sad to hear about Mario though, RIP.
Likewise. Beautiful, beautiful family. Got teary when I read about poor Mario's passing. Absolutely heartbreaking.
This is some pure fucking positive vibe right here, especially precious during dark times when the commander in chief is stealing quotes from Bane
Trust and believe these people voted for that fool. Whitestone is a bucket of thirst for him.
Forget fast food,places like this put love and hard work into their food
deezz nutzz fast food is more convenient though.. there’s more abundance of it.. so until they franchise themselves... fast food is still supreme
JoeTheGreat08 nooo , these type of restaurants are better than fast food restaurants
@@JoeTheGreat08 how come places that serve food greasier than a tanker be superior than these that you know is being made with effort and has a great value for money?
@@g.s.5110 No matter how cheap you try to make the food, I don't think it can go as low as a fast food chain. The quality us leagues better though. But sometimes, people need cheaper food, you can't blame them.
@@mauz791 I can understand those who don't have the time to wait for a well-prepared food.
But my thinking is, if you're only eating few times a day, why not make all of them quality ones? Right?
Oh my, this is so wholesome. This is what I needed after a tough pandemic. Had a very bad day, until i watched this. Hope everyone in the shop is ok and that they have survived the pandemic. Cheers from Sweden.
Bravo!
Hard working Italian ethic.
All working together to fill tummies & hearts..
would love to eat here.
Yeah, and one of their sons died because he lived to work, not worked to live.
It's the American way.
@@sneer0101 you're acting like he wouldn't still be unhealthy if he worked less. If you don't like the way they live don't live that way.
@@chickenfishhybrid44 You honestly think having 4 espressos by midday and working your ass off 16 hours a day is going to lead to better health? I absolutely respect the family values and business they have together but I cannot respect the working yourself to death mentality that is unfortunately seen as the norm in the US. And if you're seen as doing any less you're lazy and don't deserve a good life.
@@B__L where did I say that? My point is he might still be essentially just as unhealthy even if he worked less.
Those sandwiches look absolutely outstanding! What a cool family with such a strong sense of community.
Mario have the voice of a mafia boss
xMuNcHz because He have the sicilan accent !!!
And the kid sounded exactly like an Italian kid from the 90s
Enigmator22 parents from Salerno, he from NYC
well fuck you and the mafia
"hey you, green pants. I hear you looking for a dog or something" vinnie..
When the people working there are yelling at each other in Italian, you know you are about to get some of the best food you’ve ever had lol
i've seen this an uncomftorble amount of times.
It's heartwarming for some reason to be Italian and be able to recognize where their sometimes odd wording comes from.
3:14 "Because the boss she is!", that might sound weird, but that's exactly how he would say it in Italian: "Perchè il capo è lei!", and many other examples ahah.
lupash sei Italians ?
Oh madon'
vero, adesso che me lo fai notare è fantastico
3:44 oof he gave him a high five for a fist bump
meh, I know some people who purposefully keep their hand open for fist bumps and high fives, avoids lots of awkward situations that way
@@TheOathkeeper36 orrrrr he just keep give him a fist bump instad of high five cause he dont wanna get all the bacteria from the other dude while working with food!?!?
I work construction, oftentimes if someone without gloves comes to shake your hand and you’re wearing gloves, the person with the gloves will make a fist and other person will shake it or hi five it, cause glove is dirty. Could’ve been same in this situation
Very common here in MTL and all over France
If you high five you have to change gloves
UPDATE: Mario passed away a few weeks ago. "We lost our brother Mario last night. He suffered a massive heart attack shoveling snow." RIP to Mario
Oh my how sad
may the good lord bring happines to the food of the Italians .
They take the (italian) food business serious like everybody should. Hard working, nice people. Damn, I want to hug them.

How is this not the most liked comment, this is facken brilliant.
These people are a bunch of sweethearts. Love seeing a family like this finding success by working hard and being kind.
This epitomizes what good food and super friendly owners are all about. Nothing quite beats your favourite neighborhood deli. Condolences to the family on the passing of their son Mario.
What a beautiful family! 😀 I was very inspired by this. May they be blessed beyond measure.
Ferre Alysse agreed...you don't get this kind of Love inspired food hardly anywhere...I want to go so badly
I love how at 9:00, Josephine refers to her granddaughters as principessa and principessina, which means princess and little princess. They're such an adorable family.
what a beautiful thing you guys do here munchies. Showing the love of family and food together united!
This is not for the cameras neither. Tommy, Mario, Angelo are literally like this everyday. Definitely enjoy coming in the shop.
RIP Mario
This is how a family should be like. Everyones got each others back.
Amen! Work together!
made me tear up because of how incredibly sweet the whole family are

Blessings to your family, I'm so sorry for your loss! Incredible family values.
I love the way they are eating together. Wonderful times!
Beautiful! Just simply beautiful! Nothing beats a good family business with a mother's homecooking. Great people, they smile when you come in , they smile when you leave, they're polite, they joke around, they serve great food and work hard. Really all you could wish for. The polar opposite of what you get in a restaurant chain.
Great episode, loved it.
best episode so far
Something so heartwarming about Italians I’ve seen time and time again is them always talking about family.
Emilio's and everyone elses' smile is so contagious, I love it!
So much happiness and not a single care for money, it warms my heart. Wish I could go there!
Thought i was going to watch a video about the food at a deli, now I'm drenched in happy tears! Beautiful family and legacy!
Remember when you could work a regular middle class job with your spouse have three kids and a home and still go for your dreams and buy a business?!
My mother in law is Italian, they’re the best people in the world, it’s all about family, I’m truly blessed to be a part of it.
What a charming little deli and what a beautiful family. I'd love to visit when I go to New York again, they seem like pleasant people.

This is beautiful, this is what the word “family” should look like. I’m crying because of how hard working, loving, and supportive they are. Food, family, fun. Beautiful
“He’s gonna kill me every day” 😂😂😂 if you ever worked with Italians I bet you laughed
😆
4:38 "He's gonna kill me everyday"
Sounds like a true father figure!
This man's face is and hair style so Italian! Like when I took the first look at him I thought "He must be an Italian”, lol

This place is up to the hype. The vibe and the family working there are just such nice precious people who make the customers feel like family. Not to mention the food espresso and frozen coffee was amazing.
As an Italian myself, this makes my heart melt
What a sweet hard-working family. All the food looks delicious. Wish you all prosperity and happiness.
