delicious. while i’ve not yet been to the store in person, a birthday party we were at on Saturday afternoon was catered bu Jim Alesci’s Place and it was downright yummy. we had the Italian beef, pasta salad and the most incredibly lemon chicken I’ve ever tasted. i kid you not, I could eat that every day. it was so, so good. Danielle and i are gonna stop in the next time we’re out that way. I gotta try some more.

I went for the Big Guido sub with dressing. All I can say is… Wow! The bread was super fresh and little crispy on the outside. The combination of meats was delicious and ample. I also tried a square slice of sausage pizza. I should have ordered two slices. There are some good things happening here at Jim Alesci’s. I stopped in and saw a nice spread of fresh foods for choosing. There are a variety of sandwiches and pizza to select. I also saw trays of pasta, lasagna, sausage and peppers. There’s a bakery side and a grocery side too! Pick up your can of olive oil, cannolis and sub in one stop. The staff was super nice and talked about their other types of pizza. I’m coming back for sure.

In my honest opinion this is easily one of the best Italian delis in all of Ohio. I’ve been eating here since I was 8 years old and I have never been dissatisfied. It’s a family run place and the staff are amazing and friendly. The food is exceptional and I could make recommendations all day long. The antipasto salad is made with huge chunks of meat, cheese, and peppers and cannot be found anywhere else. The calzones are tremendous as well, and the sandwiches are always fresh and delicious. They have great lunch items and everything is reasonably priced. I really can’t recommend it enough. I’ve lived all over the world and this continues to be one of the best local businesses I’ve ever eaten at.

Good bread on sandwiches. But I was a little salty when I asked for a sandwich without tomato and the woman reached for a pre-made sandwich, removed the tomato, and handed it to me. Had I not been there with another person I would have made a federal case out of her doing that. Mac and cheese is pretty good. Aside from the deli there is a nice selection of Italian foods. If I don’t want take the drive to Gallucci’s this place fits the bill… only they don’t sell pizza dough.

— Hot food: They serve sandwiches using the sesame bread they bake on site. It’s crunchy and fragrant. You can call ahead to order a pizza, and they’ll bake it for you to pick up. During the week they have daily pasta specials. — Bakery: Their bakery serves delightful little sweets and desserts. We were there when the store is closing up, and they throw away whatever is left over in the glass case. — Gelateria: Recently they started serving gelato. My Italian folks told me to judge a gelateria by the color of the pistachio flavor. If it’s neon green, walk away. That’s not the natural color of pistachio. As you can see from my photo, it is very pale, hardly green. And you can see whole pistachio in the gelato. It may not be rich and creamy like Jeni’s, but you know they use real ingredients, and try to keep a fresh inventory.

Get pizza, sandwich, salad for lunch. If you want the bakery, deli, or anything else… You will pay a premium price for it. Seriously. It’s not that good to charge $ 16/lbs for sandwich pepperoni. The little Easter cookies my Grandma use to make. They were charging $ 10 for 6 cookies. A dozen set you back $ 20. That’s crazy. I can make 20 dozen for $ 20 if I want to… Have a quick lunch. Leave the rest for people who don’t know how much stuff cost.

This is everything a neighborhood Italian deli should be and more. They have a fantastic selection of quality meats, cheeses, olives, olive oil, sweets, pastas and wines. In addition, their prepared foods, pizza by the slice and bakery are fabulous! The Italian bread is baked daily and is only $ 2.75 for a giant loaf. If Jim’s Gouda is in stock, get some. It’s the best! They also have a Lavazza espresso machine and have a full selection of coffee drinks.

A long over due visit, and have to saw we plan on becoming frequent customers. We sampled the Big Guido sub, a few canolis, pepperoni bread and sauce and the anti pasta salad. All were AMAZING! The people there are extremely helpful and will talk about how everything is fresh and help with any questions you might have. They will be moving into a new location late Sept/early Oct right around the corner. We cannot wait to go back.

This is my number one favorite place in solon. its a kind of cute little deli, but they really know what they’re doing. I always get a sandwich, but it is very authentic! Also they have a nice bakery. The sandwich i get is very inexpensive but high quality.

Pizza is 5 stars — plenty of sauce and just enough cheese. Perfect! And only $ 2/slice. The muffaletta was more like 2 stars. Not bad, but I should have known it wouldn’t be a good one when he said«I’ll have to make that for you, so it will be just a few minutes.» The service was exceptionally friendly and pleasant. I was there about noon on a weekday, and didn’t have to wait at all. The bakery items looked great. They might want to dust off all the bottles of wine and olive oil though. A thick layer of dust is always a turn off when shopping for grocery items.

If you are ever in the Solon area you must try this place out. Everything is fresh and the food is just fantastic. Jim Alesci’s Place is an amazing Italian deli. You walk in and immediately you know you are going to get some great food. Absolutely love the sandwiches. I highly recommend this place.

My favorite stop while heading to Cleveland. Great Subs, Pizza, and Specialty items. Be early at lunch time as they get packed.

I used to frequent the Alesci’s downtown for lunch. I was glad that there is a store in Solon where I can grab some quick food on lunch at the new job. The food is good. I don’t really like the red sauce. The daily lunch special is a great deal for $ 6. It usually consists of a chicken or meat dish, two sides and garlic bread. There are plenty of Italian foods and things available for purchase. I think this place is great for the price.

Stopped in for lunch thanks to Unilocal reviews. Ate my way around the store since I had time to kill. Started with a roast beef sub — it was ok, nothing special. I had the cold one, not the hot, juicy«Italian Beef» version that I should have had. 2 out of 5 stars. For my money I’d rather get a sub at DiBella’s. Then I found the WINNER!!! The«old fashion» pizza. Thick, square cut pizza with no cheese and a nice thick layer of delicious sauce on top. SO good I went back the same week for another slice. I’ll surely be stopping here for a slice every time I’m in the area. 6 out of 5 stars! For dessert: a cannoli of course! I haven’t had a lot of cannoli’s so I can’t really say how good this was in relative terms. Not sweet enough to satisfy me for a dessert though. 2 out of 5 stars. I also bought a bottle of their homemade Root Beer but I haven’t had it yet.

I stopped in one day for a sandwich. It was good — roast beef the way I like it, nice amount of juice, good bread. The sandwiches are pre-made and in a display case. This is the kind of place where if you’re not careful, you will blink and miss it. Or you will be drawn into a super long conversation with the cashier on your lunch break, that will be suprising pleasant. Or you will be hit on by old italian guys. A good time for all. On a side note, there is also alot of deli items, hot and cold, italian pastas and other items which look neat, a bit pricey(root beer bbq sauce). Definitely will have to check it out another time.
