Distefanos Authentic Italian Foods Incorporated

If you want absolutely rude counter service with attitude this is the place to go. I drove from the Westside to go here because of the food reviews and then I saw all the people on Google who had my experience and it's been going on for years. Has to be family. Girl can't serve you or answer questions without rolling her eyes, huffing like you are dumber than dirt or just being plain rude. Same with the girl at the register. Never a smile or thank you. I'll stick to Galucci's and Alesci's with friendly people and even better food.

Always on the lookout for that speciality shop for special occasions. For great Italian choices, this is the place! Needed authentic Italian loaves of bread for Christmas Day dinner and heard about this gem. Checked it out and it was exactly what my wife was looking for. First, bakery was outstanding! Fresh breads, rolls, cookies, and anything you are looking for. Deli meats they cover anything you are in search of. Olives, olives, and more olives! Meal dishes ready to heat at home, they got you covered! Deserts as well! A great stop and for us Eastsiders a good spot to fill up your Italian desires!

Curbside pickup during pandemic is great. Broccoli pizza and focaccia are the stuff of my childhood.

This is definitely an East suburb gem. Not only a great little grocery store, but they have a large deli selection (including specialty Italian meats), a bakery with fresh breads, cookies, cannoli, and more, a great hot foods counter, and a made to order sub menu, optionally toasted. Included at no additional charge the expertise on the products from the Italian workers. They don't just sell the products, they know the products. Tell them you want to make the best pasta sauce ever and they'll help you out. The hot foods counter is fantastic I've tried a number of things and it beats the pants off of any standard grocery's hot food counter (even Heinen's). The roast beef, the pizza burger, and the pork chops are my personal highlights. The pizza burger is two slices of pizza, upside down with a massive freshly ground sausage patty in the middle. Delicious. There's no place to eat at Distefano's so plan on eating in your car, or if the weather is nice there's a few parks nearby.

Love this place! I like to buy a variety of eats for my home. On my first visit, I got stuffed peppers, chicken cutlets, broccoli rabe, crab salad, chicken cutlets and mac n cheese. All divine! Love the olive bar too!
