Angelina's Fine Italian Deli
About This Spot
Walking into Angelina's Fine Italian Deli in Hawthorne feels like stepping into a cherished neighborhood gathering spot where time slows just enough to savor good company and generous, carefully crafted food. The space hums quietly with a steady rhythm—the soft shuffle behind the counter, the gentle murmur of familiar voices exchanging greetings, and the distant clink of sandwich boxes being wrapped with care. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a moment, know you’re in trusted hands, and let the everyday rush pause.
There’s warmth here that extends beyond the ovens and deli cases. The atmosphere carries a genuine sense of connection, reflecting the pride of a family-run kitchen where recipes aren’t just followed—they’re lovingly lived. It’s the kind of deli where the air carries the subtle hint of freshly baked bread mingling with the rich perfume of roasted garlic and herbs, teasing the promise of a satisfying meal.
Menus unfold like personal invitations to share a slice of Italian American heritage—a lineup of sandwiches with familiar yet thoughtfully layered flavors that feel both comforting and refreshingly vibrant. Whether it’s a hearty chicken cutlet paired perfectly with melted provolone and sautéed greens or a classic Caprese layered with ripe mozzarella and sweet roasted peppers, each bite tells a story of tradition balanced with care and attention to fresh ingredients.
What truly sets Angelina’s apart is the human element—the genuine friendships that build among regulars, the easy warmth extended to newcomers, and the palpable care in every interaction. It’s a place where the hospitality isn’t just a gesture, but a lived experience, making each visit feel like returning to a home where the food warms the spirit as much as the belly.

The best that ever was and ever will be! Angelina's is the best spot for Italian food in the tri state area. You don't get quality like this even in some of the best restaurants around! The John Special is the broccoli rabe, chicken cutlet and provolone classic that is a long time favorite. The Chicken Vodka Parmesan Roll is outstanding, simply outstanding. Everything is fresh, tender and flavorful. The only downside to this place is that everyone loves it. Better get there early! The staff are incredibly friendly, good people and I always look forward to seeing them. No one encapsulates old Italian values and cooking like them! Come hungry!

One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! Everything is incredibly fresh, and the owners are super friendly—it’s easy to see they care about their food and their customers. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. I always go for the chicken sandwich with chipotle mayo, pepper jack cheese, and perfectly crispy little bits—absolutely packed with flavor. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Everything at this deli is amazing, but their sandwiches truly stand out—they’re fresh, flavorful, and consistently top-notch. You can tell a lot of care goes into what they make. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. They treat their regulars like family, and around the holidays you can even see their extended family helping out. It gives the deli such a warm, welcoming feel and makes you want to keep coming back.

I could write a book about this place. I’ve been a loyal customer turned family to the Occhipinti’s for many years. If you grew up in an Italian American household, you’ll feel right at home here. Angelina and the boys created something special here simply by being themselves. Just perfect Italian American soul food and a warm loving family dishing it out. NOBODY does it better.

I came in earlier today and it was my first time at Angelina’s Deli, and it was such a great experience. I ordered for my husband, my friend, and myself, and we all got different sandwiches so we could try each other’s. Every single one was flavorful and absolutely delicious. We had the Giuseppe, the Little Nicky, and a turkey sub with bacon. The bacon was crispy and cooked perfectly, and the chicken cutlets were tender and full of flavor. John took my order and he was friendly and welcoming. The whole experience made me feel like part of the family. I wish I had come here sooner, because it is clear Angelina’s has been a neighborhood gem for a long time. I cannot wait to come back.

Based on their reputation, we decided to give them a try last month and now absolutely cannot live without visiting every Saturday! Sandwiches are incredible, made on the best bread ever and with top quality ingredients. Service is friendly and professional as well.

Small deli but ...DAMN what great food. Tried their famous chicken cutlets, outta this world. Also took home a mortadella sandwich with burrata, pesto and arugula: probably the best sandwich I've ever had. Heading back next week!!!
