Marino's Deli

Nestled in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis, Marino’s Deli is a cherished neighborhood gem that expertly brings classic Italian-American flavors to your plate with warm, genuine hospitality. This beloved deli and restaurant offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere where the aromas of fresh-baked bread, homemade sauces, and perfectly seasoned meats invite you to savor each bite with delight.

Marino’s menu is a tantalizing celebration of hearty comfort foods and Italian favorites. Their iconic Sub Marino — layered with Genoa salami, cappocollo, provolone, crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, and drizzled with savory Italian dressing — is frequently praised as a definitive deli experience. Those craving heartier fare can delight in rich, slow-simmered Meatballs or the flavorful Italian Sausage Sandwich, each bite bursting with the kind of soulful, satisfying flavors that evoke home-cooked meals. The Beef in Barbecue Sauce Hoagie and The Polish Hoagie offer savory, bold alternatives that keep locals coming back for more.

Don’t miss Marino’s daily hot specials, like their Meatball Dip and Italian Sausage Dip, each served in a sauce boat with optional cheese and peppers that add layers of creamy richness and just the right kick of heat. Their Stuffed Italian Loaf — a masterpiece of Italian sausage, ham, spinach, and melted mozzarella baked in a golden crust — is the kind of indulgence that turns an ordinary lunch into a memorable occasion.

Pizza lovers will appreciate Marino’s 14-inch pies customizable with a generous variety of toppings ranging from classic pepperoni and sausage to unique additions like shrimp and sauerkraut, ensuring every slice satisfies your craving. For a sweet finish, the house-made mini cannoli offer a delicate, creamy contrast to the hearty main dishes.

Beyond in-house dining, Marino’s Deli thoughtfully caters to your busy lifestyle with beautifully arranged deli trays and convenient box lunches, complete with chips, pickles, fresh coleslaw, and a homemade cookie — perfect for office meetings or casual gatherings.

What truly sets Marino’s apart is the authentic care woven into every aspect of the experience. Customer Amy Sitze beautifully captures this sentiment, sharing how the staff went above and beyond to help her after surgery, a genuine kindness rare in today’s fast-paced world. Ethan D praises the unpretentious, no-frills vibe combined with Italian flavors reminiscent of the East Coast, while longtime patron Terry Horstman highlights Marino’s consistent ability to “hit the spot,” making it a lasting treasure in the community.

Whether you’re a local looking for a dependable lunchtime favorite or a visitor eager to experience authentic deli craftsmanship with heart, Marino’s Deli offers a flavorful, welcoming refuge where quality ingredients, time-honored recipes, and heartfelt service come together.
