Jo's Italian Deli

For myself, I love supporting local businesses across the city and I found this establishment by chance. Unfortunately, to my horror, I was extremely disappointed with the food. I found the chicken alfredo to be extremely plain and bland. Imagine eating a cardboard box filled with mustard. In addition, the bread was really stale and had this indescribable texture. I felt like I was biting into a piece of rock and eating rubber at the process.While the prices were quite on the cheap side, you get what you will pay for. I will be giving this establishment one more try in the near future and will change my review as needed for better or worse.Luckily the service and atmosphere was spectacular. Food was definitely not worth the price point.

Great spot for affordable Italian meals! Only $11 for the spaghetti and meatballs(Pasta is great and al dente, the meatballs taste different than regular ones but pretty fresh and not too salty). The pesto penne is good too (but slightly saltier). It comes with a slice of focaccia (but it was pretty salty). The ambience is nice if you want to dine in and there is a small market section if you want to buy things home.Overall, recommend!!!

I have never been too Italy, but I wouldn't be too wrong to say that this place serves authentic Italian experience.It is deli so it may look not as nice, but price is amazingly reasonable and foods are great. It was my first time having chewy rigatoni which I loved.They also sell some Italian condiments so great to get some stuffs.They close on Sundays so keep that in mind.

Decided to come check out Jo's Italian Deli after hearing all the amazing reviews online and was not disappointed!The portions are great and the price is completely reasonable. The pasta is handmade and the focaccia on the side was a perfect addition to soak up all the sauces.We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and the spaghetti with meatballs and both were delectable! Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for some delicious cheap eats.

This place is absolutely worth the hype! The food was so fresh and tasty. The salads were pre-packed and in their fridge but still tasted great. Their price is amazing for the quantity and quality of food. Let’s go through the details:We got 2 lunch combos:The pesto pasta with the Caesar salad: 8/10 very fresh and tasty and light and the salad was good.The Rosé: 8/10 was tasty and full of flavor with a house salad which was my favorite, a Mediterranean style salad with pierces of focaccia inside.The star of the show in my opinion was the Focaccia, that comes with the pasta lunch combo. I would order a tray of only Focaccia if I could. It was warm, soft and crunchy on the outside. Absolutely delicious. 10/10

Great quality food! Simple, delicious, and fresh! Definitely a place to check out if your in the area. Had both the Italian and Meatball sandwiches. The pasta is just as good if you want a little more.

I heard amazing things about this place for its Italian food and prices.You can't find $11.19 +tax pasta with a slice of focaccia in Vancouver.Judging but the image looks delicious; however, I could say that I was not impressed with the taste.Food 2/5 (Spaghetti)Price 4/5Service 4/5

I like this place! I tried their vegetarian sandwich back in the spring and just came for a quick dinner and got the rosé pasta. As I recall, the sandwich was very tasty with lots of filling. It was on the oily side for my taste, but there's definitely an argument to made that you shouldn't order an Italian-style sub and not expect it to be oily, so take my criticism lightly.I really liked the pasta! The rose sauce wasn't too heavy but it wasn't watery at all either, and there were lots of bits of sun-dried tomatoes and onions and another green vegetable (maybe celery?) that helped fill it out as a meal. There's black pepper and red pepper shakers available so you can season to taste which I did. So nice that they cook the pasta fresh for you. The focaccia that it was served with was, like the sandwich, a little too buttery for my taste, but otherwise it was nice. Very soft and absorbent of the sauce, but also topped with herbs that made it perfectly tasty on its own. It felt like something I would get in a nicer restaurant but with the convenience (and lower price point) of the cafe setup.Their dessert bars are average - I’m glad I tried them but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get them again. The addiction bar is their take on a “healthier” dessert bar and has pieces of nuts and dried apricot, and they also have a lemon bar. I liked all the “bits” in the addiction bar. They store them in plastic wrap which I don’t care for, besides being wasteful it also crushes the crumb topping in the lemon bar.The staff I've dealt with have been friendly and helpful with menu questions, and the overall feel of the place is bright and fun. The food is priced reasonably as well.The grocery market has the basics for Italian cooking like good-quality pastas and sauces, but not really any specialty items that you couldn't find in a large grocery store. Prices are avoid the same as mid-level grocery prices, so it's worth buying it from them if they have something you need.
