Alpine Delicatessen - Niles

Been going to Minnelli's for over 30years. Best Italian Sausage ever. Family run Italian deli and grocery. 6 stars.

We are obsessed with their meatballs and sauce. Completely ruined us on spaghetti sauce in a jar. Frozen meatballs are no longer acceptable. We were fighting over the last meatball. It was not pretty. Genuine Italian food, great sandwiches made to order, and perfect sauces/gravy for those of us who have given up on perfecting homemade ones.

I had the meatball sandwich $7), which was filled with four large meatballs and covered in sauce on a hoagie roll half of it and I was almost stuffed). They served it up quickly, I paid at the front and was on my way. There was a line at the deli counter, but they were separate from the prepped food. I can't wait to try the other offerings here.

Best place to buy Italian sausage in all of Chicago. All the foods they sell are terrific. Very nice people and fun butchers

I had driven a friend to a doctor's office in the OakMill Mall. While strolling around I explored Minelli's and found gluten free Italian bread score!! and an amazing assortment of deli salads, olives, antipasto, etc.; the perfect solution for appetizers for a dinner party later in the week. Even if my friend does not need to return to the doctor, I will definitely return to Minelli's! What a great find!
