We have only good things to say about Enzo's. He was super kind and generous with us. I would highly recommend Enzo's cannoli!! Really really delicious! As far as local businesses are concerned, this is one we ought to fight to keep. Such a wonderful little treasure in our downtown neighborhood.
Great local Italian shop. The sandwiches are delicious! They are extending their building. So, hopefully in a couple of months that will be ready. Excited to see their wine collection when it opens. But in the mean time. If you haven’t been go grab a sandwich, chips, something to drink or some other Italian goodies!
Met a friend for lunch today (4-16-25); I drove in from Downtown Newberry and she drove in from Pelion. I've spent so much time in NYC, Bronx, Queens, etc area I should have placed residency there (originally from Irmo) - she is born and raised in Syracuse, she has been here for 20 yrs. So we both enjoy quality ingredients. Until today, we hadn't found a NY/New England deli in SC with GOOD and PROPER bread, until today! She had the Chicken Parm sub from the hot menu, and I had The Italian from the cold menu. Both were off the chain...the bread is the major KEY to a great sub! Grab the 2 Cannoli deal while you're there. Only negative is that they only have 3 reserved parking spots, all other spots are USC resident numbered/reserved/towing enforced spots. I wish they had another location in the Lexington or Chapin area, with proper parking. It would be a grand slam! But we'll be back as there are about 18 or so more subs to try!
New location at the old mill! Fast and friendly service, sandwich was great, definitely big enough to share!
Visited during the lunch hour for a superb Artichoke Caprese! I added hot peppers for heat, definitely was a great add to the overall flavor! I was surprised at the size, I honestly could’ve saved half for dinner. I’ll definitely be back!
Read it was the "Best chicken parmigiana sandwich " in S.C. Three of us headed out to find out. We had trouble locating the place and then there was a sign that said they MOVED! Thank goodness it was only minutes away. The sandwich was awesome. 2 of us are from Jersey and we set the bar pretty high, lol. Deffinetly recommend this place.
Sandwiches are excellent. I personally love the Italian and the Hugo with a side of creamy Italian. I order online and they’re usually ready for me in less than 10 mins. They now also have a few designated parking spots in front which is a huge bonus!
Great quality Northern style deli down here in the South! The subs are HUGE! With fresh bread and tons of sub options. The Tina sub is a great vegetarian sub option that leaves you super filled! They are constructing a store front next door too, that can’t come soon enough!
