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.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

I love the antipasto and the #13 on Asiago. Gino's never disappoints. The service is always great too, a true Madison original.

Gino's Italian Deli on Century Avenue is my go-to option for any time I don't feel like cooking or if I'm in the mood for an excellent sandwich. In college I worked at a similarly-themed restaurant/deli so my expectations weren't too high when after college I moved out to Middleton. I knew of the place and had driven by it multiple times but had never stopped until a fortunate visit from my father. After helping me move a couch, my father took a look at my spartan apartment and said, "Well at least you're pretty close to the Middleton Gino's." Upon learning that I hadn't ever been to either the deli locations or the State Street restaurant he insisted on getting subs that night. Even four years later I can still remember how satisfying it was. Over the years I've moved several times but I've never strayed too far from Gino's. I enjoy the hot subs to such an extent that I haven't managed to work my way through the menu yet, but here are a few of my favorites. My standard order is the Italian beef with giardinera peppers, provelone and a dip. I couple this with a quarter pound of the Cajun chicken salad and I'm set. I've gotten into a few disputes over the authenticity of the #12 Italian beef compared to the Chicago standards, but I believe you like what you were introduced to and for me this is the best it gets. The #11 meatball sub is another favorite, so much so that I usually have a hard time deciding when I get up to the counter. The cold subs on the menu are not to be overlooked either, although I find myself doing this all the time. My personal favorite is the #14 artichoke & turkey. The sweet and spicy honey mustard on this is perfect with the artichoke hearts and cucumbers, and this sandwich keeps well in the refrigerator so I like to take this in for lunch. The #7 roast beef is great in it's simplicity - just thinly sliced beef with lettuce and horseradish sauce. I like to pick up Gino's before heading over the Capital Bier Garten to meet up with friends and family, and the #7 tastes incredible with Capital Fest and 1900 (RIP). Gino's is more than just sandwiches. The lasagna is very well done and the fire chicken is a special treat. When I get subs for dinner I often pick up a piece of lasagna for lunch the next day. Just cut it in half and microwave it for three minutes. I've also gotten a refrigerated pan of lasagna and cooked it for a big dinner before, and it turned out very well. There is a decent selection of dry goods and sauces on the shelves, but being not so much of a cook myself I can't say I've tried any. One thing to note - there is a cash discount so you can save a bit. The prices are pretty cheap to begin with: my usual order of a #12 with Cajun chicken salad and lasagna for the next day comes in around $10. There are times that I get bored with Middleton compared with downtown Madison, but having Gino's nearby makes it all worth it.

Ehhhhh.... Yeeeeaaaahhh... Sooo.... I grew up in Chicago eating the finest Italian Beef sammiches the world has to offer. Gino's isn't true Italian Beef. The Au Jus sauce shouldn't come served on a the side. Real Italian beef will double dip in the sauce regardless of if it's for take out or not. I haven't tried anything else off their menu besides some of the side dishes which are a bit too $$ for my taste. Overall, I am not a fan of Gino's.
(2)Aaron M.
Gee whiz, this place is goooooooood. Per the man behind the counter I went with the #13 spicy Italian. Finished that and had the turtle cheesecake. It was most fantastic, must order.
(5)C R.
Poor quality . lasagna was bad. Not worth the money.
(1)Forrest B.
I'm kinda split on the review. I really want to love this place, but at best, it's 3.5 stars. The bread is amazing. Make sure you get the asiago; it's so freaking delicious. The meat and cheese combinations are well done, as are the toppings. So, what's my issue? Well, the sandwiches are 70% bread. The toppings are kinda sparse, which isn't a crisis, especially when the prices are so low. However, aside from the meat and cheese, you'll have trouble finding anything else on the sandwich. It may say "peppers," but it really should say "pepper." Overall, a solid bunch of sandwiches, and a cool shop, but the skimpiness leaves you pretty depressed. So close to greatness, but still, so far.
(4)Scott G.
Although they still get three stars overall, I just want to reiterate that there pasta salads are good (visited a couple more times since my last review). It's nice to have a change of pace of chips and sandwiches. So, here's wishing they would serve a scrumptious muffuletta, but until then I'll stop by for a container or two of a pasta salad, like the chicken pesto pasta salad!
(3)Corey D.
Who knew? No seriously... Who knew this was here? Solid marketplace for on the fly Italian ingredients and a decent Italian beef sammie. Wish there was more space to eat than the two tables which practically feel outside given the draft, but I think this could quickly be a great grab-n-go option for me on that side of town.
(4)Haley B.
Really cute deli my family always stop at on our way to the cabin. It has frech delicious food. And the interior is really pretty. Get your sandwhich on the asiago bread. Delicious!
(5)David G.
Not bad! This is not Chicago good but fresh and full of flavor ..... that should get your attention. I or my wife stop and get a something every time we are in Madison. The deli is a treat offering a variety of sides including meet balls ..... bring some
(4)Pauline J.
I used to live by here and have gone here for various things. Looking at the reviews, I'm quite sad I never tried the subs. All the other food in the cold section is delicious though. The store is lovely and is much nicer on the inside than the outside leads you to believe. The staff is beyond friendly. Unfortunately, the price made me not come here too terribly often.
(3)Rowan C.
"I wanna be a meatball from Gino's" Sandwiches, meatballs, homemade lasagna, cheese, and the oh so famous chicken pesto salad. It's all good. If you are picking up lunch or dinner from here, please let me know so I can swing by. When you walk in and smell that perfect Italian Deli scent, you know you're in the right place!
(5)Neal C.
Great prices, efficient service, and really good food! We got the meatball, italian beef, and sicilian-- all of which were really flavorful and did not skimp on the toppings. The sicilian was probably the least favorite of the three, but still was enjoyable. The italian beef was loaded with beef, but some of it was slightly fatty. The meatball had several meatballs, not dry at all, and the marinara was excellent. Great experience overall.
(4)Jean S.
Great Food, Great Value. I go here for their Wednesday lunch special. A HUGE slice (I think its actually a double slice) of their famous stuffed pizza for $5.95. You can tell the pizza is made in house from the crust to the sauce. Its absolutly delicious. I get the deluxe which is filled with peppers, pepperoni, onions and sausage and loaded with cheese and sauce. The first time you get one set in front of you all you can say is Wow. The staff is always friendly and service is fast. There are so many good things on the menu that I would like to have, but I try not to spend too much on lunch, so I just stick to Wednesdays. If you are looking for something besides pizza they also offer salads and pasta.
(5)Kady M.
Hidden gem. Meatball sub is fire!!
(4)Lori R.
Probably my favorite Italian deli in the Madison area. Great selection of sandwiches and sides. Love the pizza ingredients to make your own pizza at home and their frozen lasagna is the best I've ever had. Definitely the place to go for all things Italian!
(5)Tunaidi A.
Gino's is a small Italian deli right next to Home Depot. They sell fresh Italian groceries and offer a good selection of food goodness. I came here for lunch quite often because it's really cheap and tasty. I'm a big fan of Gino's lasagna and their sandwiches are amazing. The Italian sub, the hot meatball sandwich, and the hot Italian beef sandwich are my favorites. The best part is that you can order things in bulk, like the lasagna. Gino's can conjure up a large pan of lasagna for you to take home and enjoy for the week. It's never too busy here and on a good day, you can sit outside.
(4)Robert B.
I had the Italian Sub. Tasty. Quick service, quality ingredients and locally owned. Enjoy;)
(4)Samantha B.
Love love loveeeee Gino's! If I could afford to take the entire store home I would!!! You can not go wrong with anything on their menu but their turtle cheesecake is to die for!!
(5)Alicia E.
I love this place! It's where I stop every time I visit Madison. Great subs, great family business.
(5)Nancy W.
I have been coming here for years, not sure why I have not done a review. This place is always solid, never had something that wasn't good. Sandwiches beat the pants off other sub places, and I can't seem to get out of the place without a container of Cajun Chicken Salad. Soups are good, entrees are good. If you need a quick lunch or dinner that won't break the bank this is a good option. They also give you a discount for paying cash, another plus. Try them, you'll like them!
(5)Parker W.
First sandwich I had here... a "Pastrami Plus" on Asiago bread.... was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. OK.. maybe I'd been craving a pastrami sandwich for a week or two. Every moment..... In any case, that sandwich blew me away. I couldn't believe it! For $6 (maybe not even that!) I'd gotten a sandwich that lined right up with Bari in Chicago. I called all my friends. Asked my girlfriend if she'd consider moving up to Madison. We could stay. There was a good sandwich place. Then it all fell apart. I went back the next day, and wished I'd gone to Cousin's. Went back two more times over the next two weeks and for some reason they just couldn't duplicate that first one. I don't know what to say. I mean... they weren't *bad*, just disappointing after that first one that was just *so* freaking good. I also had their veggie lasagna once, on the recommendation of a friend (who raves about it btw). Honestly, I wasn't impressed, but I'll admit that making lasagna is "my thing" so I sort of resent when it's anything less than 5 stars. Anyway, for the friendly people, the cheap prices, and that first sandwich... 3 stars to you, Gino's. Occasionally I'll be back.... like a long-lost lover returning to the place he met an old love whom he never saw again.
(3)Underhill T.
AWESOME lasagna!! I could probably eat a whole pan of it by myself in one sitting, however my wife would probably divorce me, so i reluctantly choose to eat it in moderation.
(5)Amy S.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Great selection of salads, meats and to-go pastas and Italian entrees, all with high-quality ingredients. The subs are awesome (my fave is the #4 on Italian) - even the small is large enough to for a satisfying lunch. Be sure to get a slice of turtle cheesecake for dessert... it's a slice of heaven. Oh, and bring cash to pay instead of credit - you'll save some coin with their cash discount.
(5)Karen C.
Delicious Sicilian sub and Greek pasta salad. As soon as you walk in the smell grabs you. They also offer a cash discount. I can't wait to go back to try something else on their menu. The pastrami sub will probably be my next choice.
(5)Alden G.
Cool local Deli, fast service, good sandwiches. Take out.
(4)Tara A.
Really tasty subs! I'd hate to see the calorie count for a sub here, though. They have super fast service. We also have gotten the bake-at-home lasagna at their Century Ave location in Middleton. It's a little price but very good!
(4)Scott S.
I have wondered what this place was like for a long time--Glad I listened to the fellow yelpers. The meat lasagna was marvelous! We have a great family recipe and are always very critical of other lasagnas--as many others know few can compare to a good homemade lasagna but this one is outstanding. Try it out some night, stop in and pick up the premade lasagna, cook it at home for the family. It was $19 for a platter that could feed a family of 6 comfortably. You could also get the individual serving to taste if you don't believe me.
(4)Jason J.
It was average. Not quite the same as italian delis in Chicago, but ok, I guess.
(3)Ruthie Y.
At first glance you might not look at Gino's and think "Let's go there for lunch!." But think again. Gino's serves up some of the best on-the-go sandwiches I've found in Madison. I love the veggie sandwich--it is packed with loads of flavorful ingredients like olives and artichoke hearts and a zingy vinaigrette, all delicious wheaty bread. Very reasonably priced! The market is noteworthy as well, offering all you authentic Italian culinary needs. Plus, there is a great selection of prepared foods (fresh and frozen) that will jump out an you and call "dinner." I've tried the lasagna and wasn't disappointed. It came with a huge portion of french bread. The staff at Gino's is always friendly and helpful.
(4)Kate D.
I have been going to Gino's for a very long time and still love it! In fact now that I live in Chicago it has become a ritual that my mom brings a pound of the tortellini salad every time she visits. Great prepared salads, fresh bread and awesome lasagna! Pick it up, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Jamison W.
Really great subs. One downside is if I'm really hungry one sub doesn't quite cut it. Love the lasagna too. The meat lasagna is actually MEAT lasagna. Or maybe meat disk lasagna. (its very meaty) They have some good take and bake dinners, some Italian grocery items like olive oils, pickled veggies, sauces, etc.
(4)Terrence S.
Stopped here during our lunch break. Both of us loved our subs. I got the Sicilian on asiago bread. Absolutely amazing!!!! Best bread I've ever had with a sub. Also got the grilled chicken pesto salad which was also very good. Prices are very cheap also. Can't wait to go back.
(5)Jeff S.
My parents came to town to visit me and my wife for the afternoon. I was craving lasagna, but didn't want to spend a couple hours making it so off to Gino's. The lasagna was delicious. It tastes home made and in the very best of ways. Great garlic bread as well. I've also gotten subs and pasta salads here a few times and have never been disappointed. The cash discount is also a nice touch. Keep up the greatness Gino's!
(5)Midwest G.
Generally, I try to support local businesses if my budget allows and I happen to be in the right place at the right time. My last visit to this particular Gino's resulted in an experience that I would have to consider the next time I am in that area. My appetite was not voracious, so I settled on a small meatball sub. While the size was appropriate (or even a little generous), there were issues needing resolution. The meatballs themselves were basically hot enough, but I had the feeling that they were "reheated". One had enough pink in it that I was also questioning whether they were uniformly cooked. The spice composition was adequate, but not memorable. Typically, a balance of fennel, garlic and other spices should be present-not so, here. While the bread had a definite authenticity, it certainly wasn't made that day, and may have even been several days old. The entire sandwich would have benefitted from a sauce with more depth and less cloying sweetness. While I was making my sandwich selection, I couldn't help but notice that the raw ground sausage was being stored unwrapped in the same case and in close proximity to the sliced meat. Not cool! Finally, the seating area consists of two utilitarian sets of cast iron tables with chairs, and the room has about as much warmth as the waiting area at a muffler shop. It pains me to give only one star for this branch, but I should also make it clear that the OTHER Gino's Deli in Middleton has a much cleaner and more inviting operation. If you must get your fix, go there.
(1)Edward V.
Whether you want a pan of lasagna or a quick sandwich, this is your place to go. This is more of a 'pick up and take home' type place, but they do have a couple small tables if you're on the go. You get a discount if you pay cash instead of a credit card... Which for me is totally understanding.
(5)E L.
I only ever get the #1 here (Italian). Because it's good and I like it and what's wrong with that? There's one guy who makes them better than the others, so I like it when he's there. I think he puts just the perfect amount of dressing on. Nothing extraordinary here, but a solidly good sandwich that I can't pass up when I'm in the neighborhood.
(3)Abby A.
Hands down, far and away, the best deli in Dane County! The sandwiches are wonderful and very reasonably priced. The salads are great, love the cajun chicken and the antipasto! And the lasagna? Do yourself a favor and take home a lasagna. Also, they carry Eli's cheesecake!!! Bonus.
(5)Kelly R.
My first Gino's experience was at the Verona Rd location, and I was in love(Hello...offer me Greek salad with chunks, not crumbles, of feta and I'm yours forever). You can imagine my excitement when we moved to Middleton...a block away from the Century Ave. location!!! This store seems a bit smaller than the other, but just as high quality. Great sandwiches, and you can purchase the tasty meats and cheeses that they use. We get the half baked loaves of bread on occasion...mmmm. I've also heard that the lasagna is hearty and delicious. Will be popping in soon for a pan full.
(5)Charles R.
Gino's deli is awesome! It's not a truly "authentic" Italian deli, but it's as close as you're going to get in suburban Middleton. The subs are invariably excellent; the bread is high-quality and the meats are delicious. The cheese tastes mainly of salt but, then again, I've never actually had a sub where the cheese is anything but mediocre. Anyway, you can't go wrong with any of the sub choices. I particularly recommend the Italian beef or the Italian. The pasta dishes are also great. I've been having the ravioli since I was a kid (and the Middleton Gino's was located on Allen Boulevard) and it's always been a favorite of mine. I also really like the chicken alfredo penne; it's pretty garlicky but absolutely delicious. There are also some cold pasta salads that are worth checking out. If you have a family to feed, Gino's sells premade pans of meat lasagna (they require 24 hours notice to make vegetarian). It is some of the best lasagna I've ever had. They are very generous with the meat sauce, which is great news for carnivores like me. Gino's sells a few boxed pastas and some pasta sauces as well. The selection is similar to what you'd find at a grocery store with only a few interesting products, so it's not worth coming here just to check out the grocery. However, if you're just here to pick up some lunch, it could be worth your while to pick up a few other things too; the prices for everything are pretty reasonable, and the discount you get for paying with cash makes it even better. If you are the Middleton area (or even if you aren't) you should make it a point to check out this place.
(5)C M.
Their lasagna is awesome. I brought it over to a friends house for a pot luck and we all now call it "crack lasagna", and giggle a little bit. It's good stuff, watch out you'll be hooked.
(5)Gail H.
Incredible selection, some stuff for vegetarians bot the olive cheese spread is so good I ask random people to stop and pick me up some when they say the're going to Madison. Shameless, but I'm ookay with that. 5 stars!!!!
(5)Billy D.
3.5 stars. Decent Italian deli, but kind of new age design. They have a lot in the deli case, meaning sandwiches and pre-made salads(which I cannot comment on), but I was not impressed with the lack of Italian grocery items. That part seemed sort of half assed to me. They have frozen lasagna (kinda pricey), homemade sauce (reasonable), pizza crusts (cheap), and cheese (moderate). Worth a drop in.
(3)Colin D.
The food at Gino's is unbelievable. The pasta sauces and made-to-order sandwiches are delicious, but the lasagna stands out from everything else. It is a bit pricey, but easily worth it. The pasta salads are somewhat oily but very flavorful. Generally when I order a pasta salad it ends up looking better than it tastes, but not so at Gino's. I highly recommend checking this place out.
(5)Dave J.
Truly wonderful spaghetti and lasagna. I've been there twice and have been impressed with the food and the service
(4)Emily P.
I want to marry Gino's greek pasta salad and have its babies. I work at a fine dining restaurant in madison, yet whenever I bring that salad along to snack on during my shifts I constantly have to stand guard against my fellow (food snob) servers trying to grab a forkful. Bring home a cold pan of the lasagna and heat it up in the oven. Pretend you made it yourself. Look on in amazement as your boyfriend/girlfriend proposes.
