Italian deli

Prosciutto and provolone purveyor

An Italian deli is a shop specializing in Italian cured meats, cheeses, olives, and prepared foods.

The term evokes a particular atmosphere—glass cases of prosciutto and salami, wheels of provolone, jars of peppers, and the smell of fresh bread.

Many Italian delis make sandwiches to order: I grabbed a meatball sub from the Italian deli on the corner.
