Get the Italian Special sandwich. The staff is great, the food amazing, and the sausages among the best.

Though its forte is wine (and tasty sandwiches), this spot sports a well-curated tap list that's six craft beers strong, and an impressive bottle list that runs the gamut from Belgium to California.
Our tip? Rosario's sells pizza by the slice. And it is killer. Not just "good for an Italian deli that also happens to sell pizza," it's the best slice for blocks around.
