Bella Monte Italian Deli

Excellent italian deli in Pompano Beach. I’ve ordered the Original Italian sandwich many times and it is always perfect. The italian bread is fantastic and the seasoning and dressing are great. The staff are very New York and are very funny and welcoming. I highly recommend this Italian deli if you’re in the Fort Lauderdale area.

Really excellent Italian sandwiches at this place, which I’m always kind of surprised to find outside of the northeast. I’ve had the Famous Italian, the Joseph Rocco, and the DiMaggio, all of which have been great. The seeded Italian bread it comes on is just about perfect.
One of the things that really impresses me, beyond the actual execution, is how good their menu is – I could swear every item is targeted for me, despite having such a diverse selection. That in itself is hard to do, and is one of things I really love here. (Of course everybody else has completely different tastes than I do, this is actually a huge negative…) The fact that it actually delivers on that promise is just that much more impressive.
Overall, just a really solid place — really good food, great selection, very reasonable prices.

Best deli in south florida like a real new york deli great food great staff meatballs are amazing and best sandwiches in town try the 4 foot and 6 foot subs the BEST!!! all boars head only the best

Stopped for a sandwich after diving off Pompano Beach. Read some good reviews so we decided to try it.
We split the Venetian for $ 8.95 and a cannoli for $ 3.25.
The sandwich on ciabatta bread was good and hearty but a bit dry. The cheese was like American cheese and way too dairy, if you know what I mean. The olive paste was good however. Maybe add more of that. Also if you dip the sandwich in olive oil, a la French dip, that may help out.
The cannoli was very good. Sugar overload.
I don’t think I would return. Maybe try somewhere else with all the Italian options in the area.

The best Italian Deli! No need to go anywhere else! They have everything! Good quality and run by great people!

Great Deli Great Hoagies

Had to try Bella Monte after hearing a friend of mine rant about this place making the best subs in town.
It’s a really cute market with a small but cozy sitting area.
It’s a typical Italian market you’d find in upstate NY.
Nice selections of olive oils, balsamic vinegars and plenty of pasta both homemade and prepackaged.
So back to the main reason I stopped by.
I ordered a Prosciutto & Fresh Mozzarella w/​sun dried tomatoes on a Ciabatta roll w/​drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette drsg. and The Gavone, which included fried chicken, roasted peppers, mozzarella & broccoli rabe on a seeded white sub.
Both subs were excellent, tasted fresh and the bread with just right however, neither one had enough meat.
Nothing like you’d get in a real NY sub joint.
I expected for a $ 13+ sub I wouldn’t have to complain about extra meat.
I actually had to scope out some of the bread just even out the meat to bread ratio.
I would definitely try it again but next time I’m going to pay better attn to the guy making the sub and less time walking around the store.

Fantastic find in Pompano Beach. An Italian Deli straight out of Arthur Avenue. Terrific breads make these sandwiches really first rate. Ask for the Chiabatta bread every time with mortadella my favorite.

Bella Monte is a little more than just a deli. Walking in you get an amazing scent of all the things you associate with an Italian deli: bread, Parmesan, olive oil, a little balsamic. Browsing around you will find many authentic Italian ingredients that may be harder to find other places, and Bella Monte makes their own sauces and even frozen meals you can grab and cook at home later.
I made my way up to the deli counter as we were looking to get a few sandwiches on our way to the beach. They have an overhead menu listing the basics, but they also have many more customized sandwiches listed on the counter. I absolutely love sandwiches, but have recently given up meat, meaning that my go to turkey sub is no longer an option. At Bella Monte this is no problem at all. I ordered the Joseph Rocco which has fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, artichoke, mushrooms, eggplant, and tomato. You are given the choice of a wheat or seeded Italian sub roll. I went with the Italian to give myself an authentic experience.
We arrived at the beach, and after lounging and working up an appetite in the sun we got out our sandwiches. I was in love. Everything, including the bread, tasted so fresh, and the flavor combo was perfect. The sandwich was huge, and I was only able to eat half… and I think a seagull got some of the veggies that fell out also as they were overflowing. Now the sandwich was definitely amazing, and probably worth giving this place five stars on it’s own; however, what really pushed me over the five star threshold was the pickle. I had added a large deli pickle to my order. I adore pickles, they’re probably my favorite food, and I have had many, and I have to say I’ve never had one this big. Yes, I ate the whole thing… probably not great in terms of my salt consumption for the day but totally worth it.
Bella Monte is located on Atlantic just before hitting the bridge to get over to A1A and the beach… and it’s on the south side of the road, perfect for a quick stop. I would definitely recommend it over Subway or Publix for a beach sandwich. Their subs run mostly around $ 10…but as I said, easily two meals, and with the quality of the ingredients way worth the price.

it was cute inside and used fresh ingredients. But they gave me american orange cheese and brown mustard even after the employee working there joked with me saying that she ensured that she gave me american white. It was still nice though, they stack their sandwiches fat.

OMG, the Italian subs are to die for. this location is great is close to Pompano Beach so order your sub and watch the waves of the ocean. tons of Italian goodies, it’s not just a Deli but a great store. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. I love this place!

I’ve gone back a few times now and the food is good, the prices are decent, but the lady in there just hates me for some reason. Maybe its because I ordered the wrong thing and had to have it changed (twice)… who knows. Would I go back– most likely, its right across the street from work. Would it be a first choice– no, unless I wanted Italian food that day. I’d recommend it to friends. The atmosphere– its nice, the staff /​owners, are like New Jersey Italians that may come off abrasive if you’re not used to straight talk :) fortunately, I lived in NYC. Try it, its worth it and they have great products in their store.

My wife is a discriminating eater, but she absolutely loved the Italian Sub she ordered — destroyed the entire sandwich!
Fresh, flavorful, high quality deli meat and cheeses with fresh bread — outstanding!

Tasty
Not many true Italian Delis around anymore. Glad to find a place like this for a good Italian sub. I’ve only be here a few times, but I like it. You can pick what type of bread you want which includes Italian bread. I love the crust of Italian bread and here they have the real deal. Nice crunch with a soft interior, you just can’t beat it. Fresh cut meats some provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and those lovely hot peppers. Finished off with some oregano and oil and vinegar. Tasty!
Now and days Italian style food is pretty much American. It’s hard for me to call it ethic food, but it is. You can taste the difference if you have their sandwiches on the Italian bread. That separates this place from the Jersey Mikes (probably Italian), LaSpadas (probably Italian) and Subway original owner Fred Deluca (probably Italian). See what I mean Italian is America:)

My fav sub. Fresh fun and friendly. Love this people not too busy Have little store inside that you can buy pasta Olive oil some stuff for cook Italian food. Desert here awesome I can’t stop eat. Good coffee try Capone and DiMaggio sandwich

Friendly family owned place near the intercoastal. I had a Joe DiMaggio on ciabatta and split a cannoli. The sandwich was very good, with «home-​made» mootz. The cannoli? Quite possible the best in Florida… close, but just maybe the best.

Upside: Good place for overstuffed sandwiches and hard-​to-​find Italian cooking ingredients.
Downside: No matter how many timed you go there, owners are never particularly friendly. I am always leaving there asking myself why I give them my business.

Excellent Italian deli, they offer a large variety of Italian staples like olive oils, balsamic vinegar, fresh olives and a lot more. They also have pastas, soups, a deli counter and amazing made to order sandwiches.

Bella Monte is an Italian deli with tables in the front to sit down and eat. You can get lunchmeat sliced or they can make one of their many sandwiches or hear up any of the pre-​made foods they have displayed behind the glass case.
I ordered an Italian hoagie. The dude who took my order was kind of a jerk to me, but he made up for his jerkiness by making me a killer Italian hoagie. Holy cheet! THIS IS THE REAL THING, Y’ALL!
The décor of Bella Monte is very odd, but the food makes up for the weird décor.
If you would rather cook up your own italian masterpiece at home, Bella Monte has all sorts of imported goods to make yourself a killer meal.

«Looks like another Italian Sub shop» I said to myself upon approaching its doors, but I couldn’t have been more wrong about that. It’s much more than that and much more than a mere deli, in that it actually is an Italian store though not what I would call an Italian market.
They carry all sorts of oils, infused or otherwise, wines, some fresh meats, aged meats, cured meats, baloney, fresh poultry and a good assortment of wines. Then there a various prepared pasta sauces and other take home ingredients that will turn your at home dinner, wherever you live, into an Italian dinning experience.
I had a taste of one of their many sandwich selections and WOW! You can tell that this really is an Italian deli.
Plus, and beyond all of that, it’s sort of a cool hang out of a place to be.
