Mario’s Deli II

This is an excellent sandwich and soup place. I had the chicken tortellini soup which seemed handmade and plenty of ingredients, not all broth like some places.
I also had a 7 inch Italian sub which had plenty of meat and the bread was super fresh. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for soup and sandwiches.

I came in here for a sandwich and it was ok. The service on the other hand was great. Very friendly and great conversation. I decided to try other things on the menus since they have more then just sandwiches. The cheese ravioli was very good. I even order a meatball witch was not small at all and tasty.

All the food is good. My favorites are eggplant parmesan, beef sandwich (way better than Portillos) and their chicken salad plate. I love their sesame bread for their subs.
Thanks much! =D yum

Love «The Joey» sub. Love the brownies! Love the new pulled pork with coleslaw (you can order it without the bun). So delicious! Staff is friendly and genuinely likes to get to know their customers. So, if you’re an impatient person who dislikes small talk — not sure if you will enjoy Mario’s Deli. You can probably pre-​order your sub and then just pick it up if you are in a hurry to get your sandwich made and handed off to you. Mario’s has a booth at Music in the Park every Wednesday night in Bensenville (thru August) — so be sure to check them out there also! They’re open until 7pm most evenings! Love this place and its rare to have owners who actually seem to genuinely care about you as a person. You’re not just a number at Mario’s!

Great service and great food. Their Italian sub is the best I’ve found — Southside or Northside!

Mario’s is all about the hype of mediocrity in my book.
Order the Italian sub and you’ll immediately notice the cuts of meat are strategically folded offering a nucleus of dense compaction That’s a visual ploy, or if anything, just try to chew that mass of confusion.
Speaking of confusion… the «Bread’ is soft and fluffy. That would be spot on if served on a New Orleans Beef or Shrimp Po’ Boy! Not Here! The soft bread has no substance at all. The «Brick» of meat gets continually squeezed with every bite and eventually compressed as a projectile in any direction you desire!
Everything about a deli should be upfront and in your face. Not here… your sandwich is prepared behind a secret wall. That’s a visual screw up for a self proclaimed deli.
Ordering at Mario’s really tests your patience. From the time you order until the time it actually makes it into the bag, your life flashes before your eyes… I remembered when I first learned to ride a 2-​wheel bike; I remembered learning to drive a stick shift; I remembered slamming my first can of Old Style Beer; I remembered walking in the door over 20 minutes ago!
The fact that your written order is handed off to someone hiding behind a wall to prepare it «secretly» is disappointing and frankly annoying.
Mario’s employees walk around casually with smiles on their faces as they fill lunch time catering orders while you do a slow burn… waiting for your sandwich.

Really good sandwiches and really good prices.
So why only 2-​stars?
The customer service is HORRIBLE. Two weeks ago, I waited 18 minutes for one cold sandwich.
I learned that day to never go there between 11am and 1pm. Their catering orders take priority over their waiting customers. They took my order, and they took my money. Then they made me wait 18 minutes for a sandwich.
Today I waited until after the lunch rush. This time, the owner took my order and simply walked away. After a couple minutes, my sandwich was place in the window, where it sat for several more minutes. I was turning to leave when the BOH employee finally brought my sandwich out and took my payment. All the while, the owner was busy conducting (what looked like) employee reviews, in full view of the waiting customers.
They make it seem like you should feel privileged to get to eat their food.
Just once I’d like to feel like you value my business as a paying customer.

6÷16÷2015 12:30pm, ordered a 12″ Italian sub, took 20 minutes. WOW! Nothing spectacular about the sub, next time I’ll hit Jimmy Johns, they have better bread.

Love love love Joe and Mario’s Delli II !!! They did such a fabulous job catering my daughter’s graduation party in 2013 that it was a no-​brainer to use them again for my son’s graduation party on June 7, 2015! The food is in a league by itself!!! We had their incredible ravioli, mostaccioli, beef sandwiches, deli sandwiches, fruit salad, house salad, chicken tenders, mac & cheese, and their famous rocky road brownies and each dish received rave reviews! The service is as incredible as the food. Joe, and his daughter, Anna, could not have worked harder, more efficiently, or been more friendly if it was their own party/​guests! I couldn’t imagine these parties without Joe and would never use anyone else. Thanks Joe — you are beyond the best and we are forever grateful!!! Barb Montagano 6÷10÷15

Great little deli! Ordered the 7 inch Italian and it was wonderful. Fresh meats and love the dressing they put on it. The lettuce was nice and crisp too, which is all too rare these days in delis. Had and pasta salad too, and it was okay. They’re very nice and took the time to ask how I was doing, and not in that «I could really care less» way, but genuinely out of kindness. Good food, food people.

Stopped in here for my second visit to pick up some sandwiches.
Ordered the Italian and Prosciutto subs and their Macaroni salad.
Their macaroni salad is made with the pasta shape that I think is called dialetti (?) And has some corn, green peas, and a little red onion or shallots in it and it is good. I’ve had it on both visits and will make it my regular side.
The sandwiches are also very good. Nice bread, fresh ingredients and they don’t skimp on them either. Very solid sandwiches. I am looking forward to trying other ones here.
Service was very friendly, always a plus.
I like this place. If you are in the area they are definitely worth checking out.
Cheers to all

I’ve never actually been here, but my job orders catering from here at month end every once in a while. The subs are absolutely HUGE!!! The only ones they order are American & Italian. The Italian is good. The ravioli taste like plastic to me. The meatballs are pretty good. They have this pasta salad with ditallini pasta and corn it’s absolutely AMAZING! It’s my fave by far.

Goodness sakes, what a gem of deli this place is! Fresh pasta salads, outstanding menu of sub sandwiches, soups, mouth watering desserts, and to-​go pasta dishes for reheating later in your jammies and slippers.
I had a simple turkey and swiss on wheat bread and it was 10 on the 1 thru 10 sandwich rating scale. Plenty of tables for a nice spot to sit down and eat lunch! Free soda refills. On my next visit I’m for sure getting dinner and dessert too.

Frequent visitor to this joint. You’ll find it in the strip mall below a condo building near the Bensenville train station. The cold case has several soups and salads (think pasta, potato, veggie etc) to add to your meal options. They have lots of chips (big bags and individual sizes) and a wall of cold drinks or fountain drinks to choose from. Prices range $ 5.50 for 7″ going up to $ 9 for 12inch subs. My favorite is the Joey sub.
They recently added a members club through your email which can provide discounts. Wednesdays in the summer are packed for Bensenville’s «Music In the Park», so you won’t find parking for blocks.
Come grab a sub and enjoy the festivals.

I originally tried this place because it’s right next to my job — but boy am I glad I did! Anything that I’ve ordered is delicious… The Marinated Chicken and Cheese, the Chicken Salad and the Italian Beef are my favorites. The people are really friendly and always remember my name and what I usually order. I have brought friends there and definitely recommend it to others!

Been going here for years. My favorite subs in the area hands down! Generous with the meats too. The staff is super friendly. The owner Joe is a really nice guy and very personable. Great soups too. Very nice desert selection. I would highly recommend this place to anybody.

I’m working in the area for the day and looking for something good and local. I looked up places to eat and saw Mario’s on the list. Honestly, Mario’s was the closest so I decided to try it out. I’m so glad I did. I ordered the Italian sub lunch combo. The sandwich was delicious! It was full of meat! No paper thin slices of meat but hearty portions. I also ordered the cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad with feta. That was so good, too! I wished I ordered a bigger portion. I will definitely be making a trip out there for some more food.

Friendly staff and good subs.

They make a great Italian beef with several cheeses available to pick from. They have this amazing garlic pasta that is pretty addicting. I started buying it by the pound. Just tried a baked mostaccioli today and it was pretty tasty. These guys are versatile and are very friendly. They take pride in their food and you can tell with every bite. Haven’t tried their chilies or soups yet but based on their others items I have a feeling their winners.

I just placed another order for the company I worked for and must say its always a pleasure ordering there and talking to Joe… he is very efficient and remembers what we like and how we like our order.
We usually stick with our favorites which are:
*Meat Lasagna
*Cheese Lasagna
These trays are HUGE and heavy and just awesome. He gives a ton of food and its really good.
*Meatballs
Everyone goes nuts for these. MUST try!
*Italian Beef
The beef has a definitive spice in it that makes it really yummy.
I will have to go in there for lunch one day and order just an individual meal as we always just cater from here but Im sure its just as good!
