    Very good italian deli and grocery

    Real Italian delis are a joy. Virgilio's has the makings for some great sandwiches, but don't forget the pizza - and, as they say "the bread makes the sandwich" so try their fresh baked breads. My favorite is the fresh cannolis.

    Now That's a Real Sandwich

    Great bread filled with meat and cheese, the real thing. One could easily feed two. We ate outside, it was a nice sunny day. We were hungry after a very productive whale watch. The locals seemed to like the place as well. We'll go again...More
