For a displaced New Yorker this place is Xanadu. Had the chicken Parm and eggplant Parm sandwiches and saying that they were awesome doesn't do justice. Everything thing that was coming out of the kitchen had my mouth watering. Italian beef, chopped cheese, you name it. The cannoli was the cherry on top. Also picked up some in house made pizza dough and sauce that I used tonight for homemade pizzas. Oh yeah, picked up some guanciali for some carbonara later this week. Not sure who bakes their bread but it is critical the deliciousness of the sandwiches. Just like NYC

I have been coming to DeFalco's for some time now and everything on the menu is amazing. The service is always welcoming and the chefs are very friendly. Lunch service is always busy but the wait time is never more than 15-20 minutes. They have a new menu item called the alla vodka chicken parm sandwich with extra sauce, cheese and pepperoncini's. This is probably my new favorite menu item and it hits the spot everytime. I definitely recommend it and this place will consistently be on my favorite list of places to eat.

Cool little Italian place. Staff was friendly and the place is clean. I got a Maximus sandwich, Meatball sub and Geek salad. The bread was so soft and flavorful. Maximus was beyond delicious. One of the best I've ever had. The meatball sub was very good. Meatballs were very garlicky but still good. I wish it came with a side of extra sauce. I also bought gabagool and soppressata from the deli. There's no prices on meats so I wasn't aware they even sold it in bulk. DeFalco's is the second Italian eatery I've been to in the Valley. I will be coming here from now on.

When you walk in, you order at the counter and then wait for the food at a table. They have a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating available and the dining area is very open. The service is fast and everyone that works there is very friendly. The food here never fails to impress me. The bread is always fresh and the dishes are packed full of flavor. The portions for even a half sandwich are very generous and there are a lot of different options on the menu.

I have heard so much about the this deli and marketplace, we finally made it it. Unique little spot with imported groceries and authentic food. I really enjoyed my sandwich and cannoli. The staff were kind, patient and answered all of our questions about the menu, which is pretty big.

I've wanted to try DeFalco's while visiting and it did not disappoint. We shared a few dishes and some sandwiches and everything was delicious. We had the tuna pasta salad, pesto penne, and antipasto salad for sides, but the highlights were our sandwiches and Arancini. I ordered the Maximus sandwich on soft bread and it was one of the better Italian sandwiches I've had. Sandwich was fresh and a good value for the price. Already thinking about the next sandwich I'm going to try here! Service was great and love the deli and Italian market part of the restaurant. Lots of good stuff. Plenty of parking out front as well. Will definitely return.

We are visiting from California and looking for a good place to eat. We found this hidden gem! This Italian deli has some of the best sandwiches we've had in a long time! We ordered 3 sandwiches to dine in and it did not disappoint! The way they layered the meat and the bread was good proportion for the sandwiches. I like the lettuce being shredded in the sandwich because you can really taste the flavors. We loved everything we ordered! I even got an extra sandwich to go so we can have it for dinner! The ciabatta bread is so good! We tried the Arancini and it was delicious! Can't wait to come back to try some more items! I really want to try their pizza and pasta but there's only so much we can eat. Until next time...

How many others have driven up / down Scottsdale road and seen DeFalco's and thought "I really need to try that place"! Well this was the day that I finally made time to stop by after reading the menu Great little market / restaurant with amazing fresh meats, cheeses, salads and authentic Italian dishes. So happy we made the time and stopped by to have our "linner" (lunch / dinner). IYKYK when you're over 50 lol

We've heard great things about DeFalco's, so we finally stopped in. Our sandwiches were delicious! The employees were helpful, the place is casual and has a nice market to look through. We enjoyed ourselves!

It's been a couple of years since I've been back here, and they rearranged the store so that it's more open and flows a little better. The grocery's to shop for are on the right side and seating to dine in is all on the left. When you come in there's a deli counter for pickup or if you want to just order meats and cheeses, then the regular line forms towards on the left. We came in at lunch time and got lucky with a table for four since someone was leaving as we got there. We snagged the table and and I jumped in the line, that moved pretty quickly, to order our pizza, past, and arancini. We ordered the 16 inch "The Romulus" Diavolo style with hot giardiniera for $28.99 and the pizza came out great. You can also opt to order it with jalapeños instead of the giardiniera. The crust on the pizza is perfect and holds all the topping pretty well. My only meh thing about it is the pizza comes out dripping wet because of the veggies in the hot giardiniera. Other than that, it was really good. When you take a slice, it looks like you're filming a commercial because it's so beautifully stringy and tastes so great. The arancini was $8.99 for a ball the size of my husbands fist and came out super crunchy which contrasted so well with their house marinara sauce. The filling to rice ratio was perfect and the filling was so good with peas and ground beef. My daughter had a whole order of the fettuccine Alfredo for $17.99 and came with a side of garlic bread. They must have done away with the side salad it used to come with, which was a disappointment. The pasta was so good and the sauce was amazing. All in all a great meal, but the prices have gone up significantly but worth it if you want some Italian food that tastes like it was from a grandmas kitchen. Perfectly tasty!
