Eovaldi's has just a handful of tables, half of which sit beneath shelves stocked with large cans of tomato sauce and other cooking supplies. However, instead of making the atmosphere seem unwelcoming, it actually feels like owner Denny McKay has set up a couple of tables just for you within his kitchen. And the kitchen's the reason people come to Eovaldi's, even if they don't eat inside the deli. Other local delis may be better known, busier or have more history, but Eovaldi's delivers great Italian food in a simple yet traditional market setting.
Sandwiches, such as the Sicilian Bomber, the Godfather and the Eovaldi's Special are local favorites, as are the deli's homemade salsiccias. Eovaldi's is also popular for its catering dishes, offering Italian favorites such as homemade speidini and toasted ravioli.
