*****  Alfonso’s Arthur Avenue Deli, 3429 Galt Ocean Drive, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308, (954) 533-0351.

You can thank me later for giving you Alfonso’s Arthur Avenue Deli…the consummate “hole in the wall” Italian deli/restaurant combination. This joint is an absolute “must try.” You name it and this joint probably has it, or will make it for you…Eat-in/Take-out soups, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, pastas, cannolis, deli meats, cheeses.

I am telling you that Alfonso’s makes some heavy duty great stuff…my last sojourn netted me a chicken parmigiana sub ($8.95), a sausage/peppers/onions sub ($8.95), a slice of pizza ($2.75) and a cannoli ($1.25)…and no, I didn’t eat everything in one sitting.

Alfonso’s is open Monday-Saturday 9am-7pm and Sunday 10am-5pm.
