"I had an excellent experience at Tessa Delicatessen the other night. The place is charming—bright, clean, and beautifully decorated. The staff were fantastic; I would honestly give them a five-star rating just based on how friendly the guy at the counter was. I ordered the Brussels, a muffuletta sandwich, and got a Cuban to go for my husband. The Brussels were delicious—they weren't fried, which is a nice twist (not that there's anything wrong with fried Brussels!), but they were tossed in a light dressing and topped with tasty cheese. The muffuletta, which was recommended to me, was very flavorful. I particularly loved the crusty bread and the olive spread. I didn't try the Cuban, but my husband said it was excellent and devoured it quickly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!"

We shared the Rueben and Brisket Dipper. They were both fantastic, but the Brisket ruled the day

The food at this restaurant was incredibly tasty; each bite exploded with flavor, and the service was outstanding. I will certainly be coming back for more.

Everything I have tried here is delicious. Their tuna sandwich, arugula and chickpea salad, and black bean burger are my favorites. Nice people working there too :

This place is amazing! The brussel sprouts Caesar salad was amazing even without the dressing. The chicken salad was also great. Overall great service, food and atmosphere. Will be coming back!!! View menu

Affordable, got a sandwich, cookie and scoop of chicken salad for $22ish. Cuban was pretty good, could use more pickles and mustard, it was a little dry. Chicken salad is interesting, pretty acidic but flavorful. The cookie was fantastic!!! I can’t wait to try more!

We eat here a few times a month and it never disappoints! The sandwiches are so good and the bread is always fresh. Their salads are also fantastic. We've gone at lunch and dinner on various days and the quality is always there.And the brisket dipper is seriously the best sandwich I've ever eaten!

I've been wanting to try Tessa for some time now, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm a fan of classic Italian subs, and the original Italian was outstanding. The flavors, breads, meats, and sauces were all spot on (I usually skip the tomato). I can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu! View menu

I had lunch at this restaurant yesterday, and it was so delicious that I decided to order dinner to take home as well. The BBQ pastrami and the meatloaf sandwich were both outstanding. There’s plenty of space indoors, a few two-top tables outside, and they even offer cocktails and charcuterie. I can't wait to return and try those! This place is a real find.

This place really is something great, but I’ve been coming here for awhile and the St. Jude (my favorite) definitely isn’t as good as it used to be.The St. Jude used to have capers, and had a wonderful, briny taste. Now there is a caper mayo, and it doesn’t hold up compared to the original. It’s a good sandwich, but not for the premium price.My partner ordered a burger which was pretty good, but they didn’t ask how he wanted it cooked and it came out medium well. There was also much more bun than burger.Overall still a great place, but the prices are up there and the food itself doesn’t stand out as much as it used to.
