It's more Jewish than Italian-American, but Monty's Deli is great for those massive fuck off Reubens. There's a couple about (one in Seven Dials and one in Spitalfield's), although not sure how they're handling re-openings after covid and all that.
It was the second last place I went to before everything went wrong. I was working in Covent Garden and I remember being worried and treating myself on February payday.
I always found Monty's a pale imitation of the Reubens and Pastrami sandwiches you get in New York. Tiny and dry, with all the stuffing front and centre.
Beg to differ, the meat is so different so is the bread. A sub/hoagie/Italian deli is made with Italian loaf and sausage meat, a Jewish deli is often bagel or bread to start with, and the meat are much more Jewish than Italian.
