Reviews for Zanini’s Deli in Oak Harbor, WA
Stopped in for lunch on an island excursion and it was amazing. The turkey sandwich was so delicious (great bread!), and the... pasta salad was pretty good too. Everybody was so friendly, and someone with a great voice was singing some Sinatra. For dessertI had an Italian soda, which was also very good! Read more
I?d never been to Zanini?s before. After going into a nearby business I thought I?d just pick up something for dinner so I... popped inside. After a couple of moments an employee greeted me and asked if she could help me. I explained that I?d like to getone of the spaghetti dinners I saw in the case. She said she was sorry but they weren?t open. She said she?d ask Jackie. Anotherperson came out of the kitchen and again asked if she could help me. I apologized as I didn?t realize they were closed. Again Isaid I was hoping to pick up some spaghetti and bread. She handed me both and when I asked how much, she said the cash registerwasn?t open and I could pay next time I?m in. As she walked me to the door, she asked how many were eating, and I told herthree. She went back inside and brought a second bread saying ?you don?t want to run out of bread!? I couldn?t believe my ears!Who does this? I left, and sat in my car feeling just so grateful for the kindness, trust, and amazing customer service I hadreceived. The meal was outstanding. Miss Jackie just gained a loyal customer who plans to share this story at every opportunity. Read more
Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Auntie Jackie! I've been looking for a real authentic Italian Meatball sandwich that... reminded me of my hometown of Brooklyn, NY. I was born and raised in Little Italy and the food was always a family affair. This food will bring your family together and more importantly the food is delicious! Strongly recommend stopping by andenjoying eating real Italian food. The best of Italy west of the the mighty Mississippi. Thank you Auntie Jackie for theconversation and walk down memory lane.

Not much to add that others have not, except that: 1) they accommodated our desire for no plastic utensils or boxes; 2) it's the... best focaccia and pasta salad we've ever eaten: 3) they have a pleasant place to sit outside (covered); and 4) they areofficially the nicest people on the planet.

OMG, the food is perfect!! Best cannoli on the coast, all you can expect cannoli to be and even more. Perfect, fresh, balanced,... worth driving from Seattle!!! Place is full of love and warmth?? definitely will be back ?? Read more
What an incredible experience. The people were fun, Auntie Jackie was amazingly thoughtful and kind. The people who work here... make this a 5 star place on its own to say nothing of the food. The food of course earns itself 5 stars as well. The food wasfresh, the portions were huge and the quality was impeccable. It is so rare that you have TRULY exceptional food or Service butthis little mom and pop shop has it all. My wife and I were treated like family from the moment we entered the establishment! Inever write reviews but I so badly want this place to stay around that I could not help but want to do some small part tohelp. Thank you again Aunt Jackie, we will definitely be back! Read more

This place has 5 stars and from my experience today it is absolutely well deserved. Not only was the food amazing looking and... exceptionally tasty, but the young ladies who worked there were the most accommodating people I have ever met. So warm and kind.And even though they didn?t have A/C or a fan in there they all had smiles on their faces and made sure we had enough food! Byfar the best food and experience we?ve had in the 5 days we?ve stayed here. No food can compare around these parts. Stephanya,Mini, Holly, and Naomi?. If you?re reading this, thank you all for everything. The cannolis are 10 stars out of 5. I won?t takephotos of anything because you should go see for yourself and be pleasantly not surprised that everything is awesome. Not surewhen I?ll be back around Oak Harbor, but if I do come back I hope this place thrives and it?s a first stop for everyone. Read more
