Great neighborhood deli. It's a shame they're closing end of next month (4/30). That first Poor Boy Deluxe we got many years ago truly warranted the "poor boy" moniker--a $5 sandwich piled high with ingredients. That and the Reuben still remain our go-tos. However, it's unfortunate that the price has increased while the amount of protein in their sandwiches has declined over the years. Regardless, def will be missed :(

I came to this deli looking for a good sandwich to eat. The place is small, cozy and has a selection of other food products like chips, novelties and the like. I had my eye on the reuben, I was craving something a little on the sour side. The person behind the counter offered me a few other add ons on top of the sandwich I ordered which was nice. I got it toasted with a bag of chips. The sandwich tasted good, but I wanted it with more sauerkraut and sauce. But, overall I had a good lunch. I plan to come back here if I'm craving another deli sandwich.

Full disclosure...Zarri's is special to me. I had my first sandwich there, shoot...almost 4 decades ago? I was a little dude. I fondly remember Mr. Zarri's bright smile, and always cheerful demeanor with customers. Although sentimentality can sway a person's opinion, I really do think this deli is worth commending. The sandwiches are simple. Good bread. Fresh deli meats and cheeses. Toppings to order. A true deli equation that is old school, and I happen to love it. There is no "specialty gourmet" angle that will cost you $25 for a sammich...get over it. Although I did have their porchetta sandwich with provolone today, it was really good. I used to get roast beef and Swiss as a youngster. I was helped by a woman with a very nice smile, and an appreciation for my appreciation. There was a cordial younger dude who was friendly and rang me up. But the real sunshine that brightened my day? Seeing Miss Zarri there. As soon as I saw her bright eyes and her always perfectly done hair, all the nostalgia was solidified, and justified. We spoke for a moment and exchanged some positive energy, and it made my already delicious sandwich that much more enjoyable. Stop by sometime, and take a moment to check out the fun stuff they offer. Thank you, folks...you are appreciated.

I attended an event they catered. I had to ask who provided the food it was soooo delicious! From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course the food was incredible! I highly recommend and will be sure to go Zarri's when I'm in the Albany area.

Driving up Solano Ave and saw Zarri's. Stopped, looked up on Yelp and decided to get a sandwich. Fun Deli, lots of Italian food items for sale. I chose a Caprace sandwich on Chibatta and add prosciutto. Flavors were excellent. Acme bread was good. Service was fast and friendly. For today's inflationary work prices were okay. I'd come back if ever in the area again.

Very good sandwiches and many other goodies mostly Italian. Service is good also. Small outside place to eat.

Easy parking and great food. Small location but delicious options. There was a sweet lady who took my order. I ordered a sandwich, got some cheese and a bottle of wine then went to my hotel near the marina to enjoy it. Perfect meal.
