Welcome to Paulie's Italian Delicatessen, where tradition meets innovation! You may recognize us as those who served you at Empire State Deli, founded by Paul Tufaro in 2004. Following COVID-19, we de…
$17.99 Spicy Chicken wrap was 5/10. Cold, bland, unsubstantial.
$19.99 Cuban was 9/10, very good. Well seasoned and even cooked meat, could have stuck closer to the original but still very good
$7.99 Fries 4/10. Soggy, and not in a good greasy way, all the spice that would have been delicious on a crisp fry turned to clumps or fell away leaving them underseasoned.
Review is definitely influenced by price shock. Three items came in at ~$55.00
Would definitely return for the Cuban, but would gravitate away from the wrap or the fries.

Highly overpriced. Not good. The Italian Stallion was burnt and tasting like beef jerky. the $18 Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap was the size of a large taquito and too wet. Fries were wet and soggy. The Potato Salad was also not good. I had high hopes for this place, but there are way better delis that aren't crazy expensive

So dry, so much bread and so little meat, barely any cheese, all dried up cheese. Barely any dip sauce.
Mozzarella Sticks (5) taste like lighter fluid

The Cuban was excellent the best I've had in New Orleans. Definitely will eat here again.

Meatball sub was to die for. I'll never buy a meatball sub from anyone else ever again !
