Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Just happened to be in Lemont for work and stopped by here for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered their special of the day (pastrami sandwich). I also ordered a bowl of chicken soup and was satisfied with both. The sandwich was flavorful and filling, while the soup was delicious. I ended go back the next day for their buffalo chicken wrap (another great tasting meal). Kudos to the quality food this establishment puts out.

Nice little sandwich shop with Boars Head meats. I got some pretzel bread turkey thing, but lots of other options looked good too.

I've been here twice now and, each time, had had great food. On my first visit, I came for lunch and had a cup of chili and the vegetable wrap. To begin, the chili: absolutely delicious. Full of flavor, and lots of crunch from the onions. And...the vegetable wrap. While the veggies were extremely fresh, it just lacked flavor. On my first visit, I really appreciated the atmosphere, as it was when I had first moved to Lemont, and I got to see what a great community feel the downtown has. On my second visit, I got a to-go order of their House Chopped Salad, and it was extremely good. It was probably on par with Portillo's and their chopped salad. Incredibly fresh, and with a bright, flavorful dressing. I loved it and it was enough for 2 meals. I look forward to a third visit!

I've been coming here for lunch about twice a week now for a few months and never leave disappointed. The staff is always friendly and the food is always great. You will walk out happy for about $7
(5)James B.
Tasty, homemade deli fare. Reasonably priced also. If you stop in for a bite, tell Maryanne, Jim says hello.
(4)Ryan L.
Good sandwiches! Don't love the chicken noodle soup at times as it sometimes is a bit bland. Good ice cream as well!

Came here to work and use the free WiFi. I ordered a sandwich and a drink and sat down, but when I tried to sign online, the WiFi never connected. Even my phone couldn't connect to the router. After a few minutes, I let the staff know their WiFi was broken. Eventually someone came to check the settings on my laptop, then promised to look at the router in back. 30 minutes later, no response, no word on whether the WiFi was broken, whether they had even tried anything. I go back to the counter to see if anyone even bothered to look at the problem. Two separate staff members give me this response: "Sir, there's just certain websites you aren't allowed to look at here. We are a business." What are you implying, I'm looking at porn? Your WiFi is broken. Don't blame the customer, investigate the problem. Kinda pissed off that I paid for food/drink just to be a good customer, then after an hour of bothering the staff, FINALLY a nice guy working in the back decides to check his phone and see if the WiFi was actually broken. And yes, it was broken, like I had been trying to tell them. Come here for the food. Don't come here to do any work, or you might be accused of looking at porn.

I happened to be in Lockport around lunchtime and decided to grab a sandwich. Sweetwater Deli seemed like an ideal place to get one. It's located in the very cool and historic downtown area of Lemont. The interior is clean and features the historic architectural details of the space. Check out the ceiling if you want to know what I mean. I ordered a muffaletta sandwich, the New Orleans classic which features a bayou take on giardiniera, though the NO version features olives prominently in the mix. As it turns out, Sweetwater sells its own version of the crunchy spread in the tiny market area of the deli. The muffaletta was just about perfect. It was filled with a bounty of high quality salumi and provolone cheese on a hgh-quality roll. It was pretty substantial, so I saved half for a later meal. Any town or city would be lucky to have a deli as well-conceived and run as this one. Check it out.

Sweetwater Deli is a really cute place! Clean and friendly establishment in the downtown area of Lemont. There is a menu to order off of as soon as you walk in. You order and they run it out to you in no time at all. I had the BLT & we shared the chicken salad. Both are a must try! I know you can get a BLT anywhere but this one was just different (in a perfect way) ... all of the ingredients were perfectly proportioned. Seriously. SO good. The chicken salad was just as yummy & next time that will be my sandwich of choice. Throw in a Sierra Nevada & your meal is complete! Can't wait to go back!

Very fresh!

Great sandwiches! I love the soups and daily specials! Heard the burger is great, but haven't tried it yet.
(4)Meredith G.
I love this place! It's cute, clean, and has a ton of options for lunch. Not to mention - they have a cheese and meat counter as well. It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite on your lunch break or before a movie. It's quaint and pretty low key. My only complaint is their parking is horrid and if you go at a bad time (lunch time - Noon), you're going to have a very bad time. Park on another street and walk :)

Stopped in for lunch the other day and was pleasantly surprised. Downtown Lemont is quickly becoming one of my favorite weekend stops thanks to joints like Sweetwater Deli. Anyways, tried my hand at their Chopped Salad (minus bacon) and some of the more talked about chicken salad. The chopped Salad was solid, stocked with mountain of chunked chicken, and married perfectly with their House Dressing. The chicken salad was a little less my liking. Too much basil and dill, in my humble opinion, needing to be put back in the box as opposed to straying far from it. My co-diner thoroughly enjoyed her BLT Sandwich, quoting it "amazing" and perfectly constructed. I didn't partake but my mouth was certainly watering watching her dive in. Icing on the cake had to be grabbing a beer and wine. Nothing extraordinary, but cafes and liquor consumption aren't an everyday partnership, so combining the two only drove up their stock. Food and drink prices seemed reasonable storewide...especially $3.50 for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale! Plenty of deli take home options, as well as pre-packaged grocery accoutrement. Definitely will be stopping back to further explore their menu, and enjoy some chill time with my P.I.C. Tina N.

Everything is tasty when you're hungry. Seriously, it's a corner shop. What the fuck do you expect?
(5)J C.
Great place- love their BLT- the bacon is good quality tasty and plentiful! We had a tray of wraps at a party- the buffalo chicken was delish. They have Intelligentsia coffee and the best brownies. Not a fan of their split pea soup and wished they served an iced coffee too
(4)Molly O.
Great little lunch place! Quick food, reasonable prices, and always quality. Exactly what we need with an hour to make it out and back to the office. Excellent wraps and the Nutella cookies are amazing if they have them.
(5)Collette D.
I totally love Sweetwater deli, My favorite to go food they make is the Chicken Caesar salad, But I also like to purchase there frozen SACCHETTI.
(5)Jeff S.
Excellent excellent lunch. I could eat their Buffalo Chicken Wrap every day. And my wife raves about the BLT -- especially due to their quality of bacon. Cozy little place. Nice people.
(5)Rosanna G.
My husband and I love this place! Atmosphere is so comfortable and has a very "neighborhood " vibe to it. The sandwiches are delicious and their soup is excellent. We go for lunch and get the soup and half sandwich and it's always filling. They don't skimp on the meat. Love having a local place that's as good as this! Fun area to walk around too do you can grab some gelato and stroll around.

If you didn't enjoy your sandwich here, you sir need to get some water for your pants. Because they are on fire. Now I'm not saying this is the best sandwich in the world, or the county for that matter. But this is a solid sandwich that I will be ingesting again. As they say somewhere: Yummers. The pretzel bun is a must, and let me tell you why. Its not super chewy as some pretzel bread products can be. It was perfectly fresh and i could almost taste a bit of love in the baking. And it was prefect for the sandwich I got due to the high pile of meat. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this sandwich with the high meat to bread ratio and the minimalist approach to mustard and hot peppers. I was full after half but couldn't stop myself from finishing it off. Sweetwater is a great place to stop for lunch if you can find a table or have your food to go. And the general store aspect could be very convenient too.

This place is great! I have been looking for a local deli lunch spot for a while. The Reuben Panini was delicious, and my friend said his meatball was very good as well. Will definitely be back again and will spread the word to encourage more business. Great job guys!
(5)Bob K.
Great sandwich menu and an excellent remedy for chainosis. Tried the reuben panini - perfect. Nice garlicky pickle with. Would've liked another pickle! Nice historic feel in oldtown Lemont. Definitely worth coming back to!
(4)Sarah L.
My daughter and I were extremely disappointed with the food. The pasta was not drained well and the sauce was poured on to make a soupy mess. The bread and salad that came on the side were fine. My hot chicken sandwich was only slightly and unevenly warm. The brownie was good but tasted like a mix.
(1)Toni F.
Excellent local spot for a quick bite! Their chicken soup was delicious and I saw a few wraps coming out of the kitchen and they looked fabulous! We will come back to try other sandwiches and soups. They have a nice fresh deli meat assortment too!
(5)Louie L.
Sweetwater Deli is one of the best places for good food in Lemont! They have a great selection of hot and cold sandwiches, soups, and salads. The Jackwagon, Reuban, Gilled Chicken anything, and chopped salad are all amazing! Their daily specials are always great! The service is always friendly and fast. The lunch crowd can get quite busy so make sure to give it a few extra mins. The food is always freshly prepared with top notch ingredients. I hopeSweetwater Deli stays in Lemont forever becasue its so nice to have such a great go-to place right in town! Annette, Johnny, and Dan are Great!

Quaint little place in a town that's too beautiful to be this desolate. Sweetwater is a warm and inviting place. Reminds me of an old small town deli, but feels like home. I had the Reuben pannini and my wife had the grilled chicken. We both shared a bowl of Reuben soup, which was way better than expected. This is now my go-to place for Reubens, so sweetwater people, if you're reading this.don't change a thing.
(5)Brian H.
Stopped here for lunch after a tournament at Sunsetters. Great little Italian deli, freshly made sandwiches and soups. They carry Intelligensia coffee and the deserts are very good as well. We will come back for sure.
(4)Mike M.
First time visit. Had Reuben Panini: outstanding, also pickle was great. Son had different sandwich, he thought it was great. Next time we're near Lemont, we'll go there.
(5)Stephanie M.
This is a small place but it is always busy. A great place for lunch, Sweetwater Deli has sandwiches for about $5 and you can basically buy anything you want on the side. It's almost like a little convenience store as well. It's a great little place with a clean, inviting atmosphere. I love eating there!
(4)Kim M.
Great food and service. Good small family establishment in the heart of DT Lemont. Enjoy the Rueben Panini. Delicious :p
(5)Ruth Ann M.
I have absolutely loved my experiences at Sweetwater Deli. The grilled chicken sandwich is excellent. The chicken was moist, the pretzel roll was fresh, the roasted garlic aioli gave it the perfect amount of kick, while the roasted red peppers gave it just a hint of sweetness. Perfection! I'm also a big fan of their Italian sub. The meats and cheese are fresh, and the homemade dressing they put on it is SOOO good! Their soups are also fresh, delicious and homemade...just what you would want out of a bowl of soup. Their pasta salad is good and not overly oily like most delis. The homemade coleslaw rocks my socks. It contains big chunks of perfectly dressed cabbage. Try a Labriola Bakery whoopie pie (like the bread, it's delivered fresh each day to the deli). Holy childhood flashback, Sweetwater! It tastes like a classed-up, adult-ified version of a Little Debbie Zebra Cake. Lemont needed a nice but casual place like this, and I really hope people give it a try.

Good food, nice price, great area, close to Argonne Laboratory

So Sweetwater is far from my house but we make it out there occasionally just for their burgers! They season their own beef patties and use the best deli meat and cheese (Boars Head.) My husband got a hamburger, I got an Italian sub and for our kids we got them chicken noodle soup and pasta fiagioli and a brownie, we spent a total of $25 incredible!. The burger took 15 mins to make but well worth the wait. We were there 1 hr before it closed and they did not rush us like other places. I love the atmosphere and yes you have to try their brownies YUM! All in all great experience, great food!

My husband and I love the downtown Lemont area and decided to try something new so we Yelped Lemont restaurants and found Sweetwater Deli. Lemont is such a cool, historical town and when I walked into the deli, I had a feeling like I was walking into a modern flashback (if that's possible). Decor had a great old-time feeling to it, but was mixed with modern technology and colors. We had already looked at the menu online and knew what we were ordering. I am an Italian Sub Lover and my husband is loves Corned Beef and at Sweetwater, the Corned Beef is a Panini, also another of his favorites. Because Sweetwater is already a deli, their meats on the sandwich were super-fresh. I enjoyed the slight bit of spiciness coming from the sandwich. My only 2 commetns were that the piece of lettuce was HUGE, and that it could have used a tad bit more salad dressing on it. I wouldn't say it was dry, I'm used to having Italian Subs have a bit more dressing on it. My husband loved his Corned Beef Panini. His only comment was that he wished the cheese was a bit more melted on it. Otherwise he loved the kraut, with the marbled rye, thousand island dressing. We also ordered a small pasta salad to go with our sandwiches which either needed to be stirred or have a bit more dressing added to it. It just didn't have much flavor to it. Overall, for under $20, 2 good sandwiches with side pickles, 2 bags of chips, 2 sodas, and a small pasta salad in a great old-time, modern setting - we will be back.

Best quick lunch in downtown Lemont. Sandwiches are made to order and the soups are great. The price point makes this family-run deli an easy choice for lunch. They get decadent cookies and brownies from LaBrea everyday, so save room. Kids meals are a fantastic bargain and healthy too. Only complaint is the fake iced tea: no restaurant should ever serve iced tea from a machine when the real thing is so much better. But, I'll have a water and enjoy the deli lunch anytime.

This is strictly on the food only. They are a small market and deli as well (I highly suggest getting the giariniera relish for sandwiches). My girl and I went around her literally slanted town looking for soup on a cold night. Two places came up on Yelp.com , 3 Corners Bar and Sweetwater Deli. Not realizing 3 Corners Bar was more on the east side of town instead of downtown, we kind of stumbled upon Sweetwater Deli. Thank God we did too. Everything is made from scratch and flavorful. We got a smorgasbord of different foods: chili, pasta fagioli, mac & cheese, the italian sub, the grilled chicken sandwich on the pretzel roll, and ended it all sharing a large piece of tiramisu. Out of all those, I'd say the chili was the best thing on the table. Probably the best chili I've had in the suburbs, maybe even in the whole Chicagoland area. It was everything you would want in a chili. The exact opposite of the $1 bowls you would get at Wendy's. Don't get me wrong though, all the other food was great. The mac & cheese was blessed with what I believe the owner said was 4 different cheeses, and each cheese was tasted with every bite. I like my mac & cheese to be slightly more cheesy, but it was perfect for my gf since she's not that big of a fan of my style of M&C. The subs and sandwiches were made fresh and were hearty too. The Tiramisu was not too sweet, almost at a perfect amount of sweetness, with not much of that strong alcohol flavor that can be overbearing in cheaper Tiramisu (I say cheaper since this huge 5in x 2in rectangular slice was only $4.50). Oh yeah, I have to add that most rolls and pastries were delivered from Labriola which is something I like. If you don't make your own bread and pastries, at least get it from 1 of the better places around the area. So overall, Sweetwater Deli was a complete success of a trip, and my girl and I will be back soon. Probably tonight since typing up this review is making me hungry for their chili now. The GOOD: Everything on the menu but especially the chili. Try any of the daily specials too. The BAD: The location - Lemont is kind of way out there. My girl likes to describe it as "a town off on its own little place." I will say it is well worth the trip though. The UGLY: The car in parked in front of us that had the license plate "Twist F 8" Probably the only terrible thing I saw that night haha.
(5)Kathy S.
Off the beaten path, but worth it. I had the soup/sandwich combo, which was a tasty cup of chili and the grilled chicken sandwich on a pretzel roll. My partner had the large soup of the day - stuffed green pepper - which was really good, and the full-size Italian beef sandwich. Needless to say, too much to eat in one sitting! The deli ambiance is interesting, lots of products (pastas, sauces, spices, along with deli meats and cheeses) I can get elsewhere, but will make a point of getting them at this lovely place in the future. Friendly, prompt service and easy parking ensured a return visit!
(5)Scott P.
I love the soup !!! it changes everyday. about 7-9 dollars for soup and sandwich. Well worth it !
