About Lombardo Cafe Deli + Catering

This Darling Street haunt nails Italian deli comfort with crusty paninis, stacked meatball subs, and serious espresso. Regulars make a beeline for the slow-cooked brisket or the crunchy Caprese, taking lunch out past the counter to the quiet backyard courtyard. Mornings run on hot bacon and egg rolls tucked with hash browns, capped off with crisp cannoli.

  • Italian Deli Classics: Stacked meatball subs, brisket rolls, and crusty panini options like Caprese.
  • Backyard Courtyard: A quiet open-air courtyard behind the cafe away from Darling Street traffic.
