I’m a Philly guy always on the lookout for a good cheesesteak. V & S delivers with their new offering. Bread was fantastic and soft. So many do the crunchy bread that shreds your mouth. Definitely passed the “Philly” title. I added sauce and cherry pepper relish. Kinda like a pizza steak. Fantastic! My new go to spot. Next time trying a sub…

– Very friendly staff. Warm hospitality.

– Delicious hot sandwiches (I had their Chicken Parmigiana sub), the bread was perfect.

– Atmosphere is typical deli. It’s small inside with no seating area inside. Standing room for ordering only and it’s tight. There are about 3 small tables with chairs outside. Total seats about 8.

– My only two negatives are, they charge 3.99% if paying via credit card. That’s really high. So bring cash.

– Lastly, my sub was delicious but could have had a bit more chicken.

40 years in, V&S is sacred cow territory. For some Boca lifers, this place is holy ground. And I get it — when it’s good, it’s really good.

Let’s start with the gripe: V&S is practically wallpapered in Boar’s Head branding. That might fly at Publix for a Pub Sub, but in a real Italian deli? Hard pass. Cold cuts here usually don’t do it for me. That said, they’re not 100% Boar’s Head — there’s Citterio in the mix. On one visit I took home a prosciutto, roasted red pepper, red onion, and fresh mozzarella sub on a seeded roll. No Boar’s Head in sight, and it was excellent.

Where V&S truly shines is the hot food. Chicken cutlets, meatballs, sausage, and especially the eggplant all have serious fans. I tested it with the eggplant parm sub — because eggplant is a benchmark most places fail. Here, it’s done right: layers of properly seasoned fried eggplant, good-quality mozzarella, a ladle of rich sauce, and that big seeded Italian torpedo roll. The thing is massive; I barely managed half of a half. At $21 with a Manhattan Special (no diet version, sadly), it’s easily sharable.

On another visit, I rolled in too late for breakfast (they cut off at 11), but the staff kindly cleaned the grill and still made me a bacon, egg & cheese. Eggs cooked perfectly to order (over easy), bacon crisp, and again — that monster seeded roll. Service like that earns real points.

And don’t skip the prepared foods case — I’ve raided it for meatballs, arancini, antipasto salads, and more. All have been solid and worth taking home.

Verdict: V&S remains a Boca institution for a reason. Forget most of the cold cuts. Stick to the hot sandwiches — the eggplant parm proves they know what they’re doing. And if you’re early, don’t sleep on breakfast.

If you are looking for a good Italian Deli, what you will find here is not good, but great. This is the very first time, that I found my side of New York in Florida. The food transported me back to Little Italy in NYC. The customer service by the owner Sal was great. The place had the NY Vibe and the food, was spectacular. My highest recommendation to V&S. Thank you Sal for making me feel at Home! Mitch and Joanna Petriccione

I get the eggplant parm at every Italian deli that I can…it’s a must-do-right-sandwich. The eggplant portion was enormous and perfectly cooked with the right amount of sauce; the Italian bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The downside…the eggplant was way too salty and made the sandwich hard to finish.

I give the atmosphere 3 stars because the wait was as anticipated for a hot sub ordered, but the size of the deli is limited making the wait kind of uncomfortable-suggest ordering online. Also, there is a 3.99% upcharge for credit card so bring cash if you can.

Solid sandwich shop. Inside is fun to see of the numerous homages to New York City. High-quality ingredients and friendly service. Actually my favorite thing there is their potato salad!

It’s just the first time I ordered from v&s. I got the meatball side dish and roast beef sandwich. The sauce (we call it gravy) is incredible!!!! Let me repeat this.The sauce was incredible!! Just like my Italian relatives.
The sandwich was incredible. I just was not in love with the meatball, but that’s okay.Everybody makes a meatball different.

I just want to say how thankful I am for the hospitality and the immaculate level of customer service I was given by the staff. placed an order through uber and my uber driver selfishly took half my order. I called and they took care of me like family. Amazing food, amazing service. I will definitely be back, they will forever have my service as a customer. It’s nice to know there are still local businesses that will care for you as their own!!

Some may call themselves Italian Delis. But V&S walks the walk & talks the talk. A true Italian gem of a deli. You may wait on a line that is typically out the door. But I promise you it is well worth your time. The staff is friendly & impeccable at what they do. Fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared & never disappointing. Hot or cold sandwiches are equally delicious. As a former NY’er I know a good Italian Deli when I see one & V&S is the real deal.
