Frank & Louie’s Italian Specialties

Best sandwiches in the world. I love this place. Make sure to order by phone beforehand, because it gets packed in the summer!

Delicious! Friendly atmosphere, great cookies! An absolute must when I’m in Rehoboth!!!

Come for the sandwiches, leave with a smile from an intimate, authentic experience and a sweet treat.

Do you like prosciutto? Are you in Rehoboth? What do ya know, go here!!! The owners are really friendly and the sandwiches are delicious.
They have tons of other things besides sandwiches (the cheese display is INSANE). I’ve gotten their ricotta sugar cookies and they were real gud’.
Definitely feels like a local place surrounded by a lot of touristy places named after birds and the ocean.

After getting a horrific meal at Hobos, we went next door and ordered a sandwich here. As always, they are amazingly friendly and the food is great!

1. AMAZING SERVICE. My husband and I felt so welcome!
2. Incredible sandwiches. The best. Add the roasted red peppers. You will not regret it.

One of the best deli sandwiches you’ll ever have. As fresh as can be, sliced right onto the sandwich. I grew up in an Italian household at Italian delis and these guys are as legit as it gets. Their mother makes all the baked goods even! I’ll be back and I’ll go anytime I get the chance!

This place is amazing and totally authentic Italian-​everything inside is hand cut and hand made and the reviews just can’t give you the experience-​you MUST go! The cookies and other Italian baked specialty items are the best I’ve ever eaten and even better than the ones in Italy! Way fresher-​especially their warm soft chewy bread! Why can’t I stay at the beach forever? If for no other reason than to eat this «deli“ciousness every day? And frank and Louie are adorable-​so grateful to their customers-​such a rare quality!

Oh my gosh. First time to Frank and Lousie’s, and I’m not sure why we haven’t gone sooner. Best sammy’s in Delaware. Plus Frank, Lousie and Mom are the nicest people we’ve ever meet. Love you guys!

Love love love this Italian deli
Anything you order, you will not be disappointed. All fresh meats /​cheeses & bread is good too !

Smiling, welcoming and genuine service providing awesome food. Wish we could clone these guys and share their good karma all over.
Fantastic Sandwiches, deli products, pastas, catering platters, cookies all top notch.
These guys are so cool you feel 110% before the first delicious bite!

All the Sandwiches are amazing, nice little Italian style deli/​market.
All the people inside are so pleasant and friendly.
Cookies are phenomenal homemade.
Wish they had them closer to where I live.

Frank & Louie’s is your best option for lunch in Rehoboth-​end of story.
The Tiny Dancer I had was one of the freshest sandwiches I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming. Red ripe tomatoes, authentic mozzarella, basil that didn’t resemble and taste like flavorless grass, and a chewy ciabatta bun that brought it all together. What a sandwich. Puts that certain train themed chain sub shop to shame. If you’re curious, it’s the #1 on the menu. Order it.
I’d like to say also that the people working in Frank & Louie’s when we came in and ordered were absolutely wonderful. You get the vibe coming to the beach that many of the locals aren’t exactly thrilled with the beach crowd, but that wasn’t the case at all here. I felt very welcome, the employees were super nice and friendly, and just generally everything about the place seemed upbeat and happy. That really goes a long way for me.
We’ll be back. We will definitely be back.
If you’re looking for lunch in Rehoboth, stop looking. This is the place.
Highly recommended.

Service is as described here — a bit lacking and sort of reminiscent of the soup nazi. The lady apparently feels you should know how it all works (order sandwiches first then get out of the way, she’ll add pastries and ring you up later) and gets a bit cranky at you, the complete stranger, when you don’t have a clue. There aren’t any signs and the layout of the tiny place doesn’t help.
All that aside — the food itself is pretty good. Could be better with add-​ons like lettuce and tomatoes but they’re all about just meat and cheeses so they don’t have any of that. Don’t ask about toppings or dressings by the way, she got a bit snippy at the couple in front of us who did. Even basic, it’s good stuff and very filling.
What makes the place (and service) worth it though is the butter cake. I had never heard of it before but dear god I will now be telling everyone about this amazing treat. The other stuff is tasty (we tried the macaroons and éclair) but skip it all and go right for this delicacy. It’s rich enough to split between two or even three but you won’t want to. I’m still regretting sharing.
You can call ahead and pick up which is what we’ll do next time. There’s only outdoor seats by the way so it’d be ideal to be ready to pick up and go. Just remember the butter cake!

Super nice people! Amazing fresh food. You want a quick bit get a tomato pie. It’s like a pizza without the mozzarella. You want dessert get the BUTTER CAKE! If you don’t go anywhere else in Rehoboth beach please stop by this place.

Wow! What a gem nestled in this beach town.
This place is the real deal of Italian delis, almost just as good as the best places in New York. The sandwiches may look a little pricey, but they are huge and worth every penny. The desserts are great, and all of the other items are authentic. I cannot recommend enough!

Absolute perfection. Old-​world style food and attitude. They make sure you’re taken care of, every single time. Don’t believe me?
Read all of the other 5 star reviews.

After seeing the great reviews on Unilocal,we had to check out Frank & Louie’s. The owners were there and were super nice! They gave us samples and told us about their Mom who makes all the pastries/​cookies. MAN were they good. Very authentic cookies and cakes. We got a really yummy sub and left with a bunch of cookies. We will def be going back!

Bad customer service. Went in for dinning, but there is no server. So we went and ordered on other side. That guy took our order, but let other 3 people’s food came out before us. We ordered one sub. Other people orders a lot more than us.
The food is good, but still annoyed me with their customer service too much to enjoy it.

This this friendly little local family-​owned Italian deli is one of my favorite spots in Rehoboth.
Frank, Louie and mom making some of the tasty treats around.
From their great customer service, to big smiles, to mom’s amazing cookies… I’m not a big fan of cookies in general but mom’s are yum yum!
Not only do the guys remember our faces every time we visit, they know our names too. They even know our favorite treats and exactly how we like our vegan sandwiches… Eggplant roasted pepper… And special secret deliciousness
