NOW OPEN: Gaetano's Italian Deli

John Yusko opened Gaetano's Italian Deli at the corner of Second and Christian (902 S. Second St.) back on March 1. A carpenter by trade, Yusko says he and his wife have been kicking around the idea of opening their own deli for a few years now, and nowhere else than in South Philly, where they're both from. They're doing breakfast sandwiches, coffee, danishes and muffins in the morning, then hoagies, wraps and panini using Boar's Head meats for lunch and dinner. (The "Jewish Deluxe" specialty hoagie has roast and corned beefs, turkey and Swiss all up on it.) They also have a rotating selection of hot dishes, including chicken cutlets and homemade soups, roast pork and beef sandwiches, etc. Deli meats and sides to go, too.
Gaetano's is open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 am. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Full menu after the jump. See the comments for a menu PDF download link.
Where is the menu again?
Mithras: My mistake, Mithras — the scan didn't turn out so great so I didn't post it, but I forgot to edit out that line. Here's a PDF of the menu, sorry about the scan quality.
Thanks!
Tried the Italian Deluxe today. It was pretty good. I still like Sarcone's better, but Gaetano's is a good neighborhood spot.

Whose bread are they using?
Good to know that there are still some traditional deli places like yours where you can both enjoy sandwiches piled with quality meats and some vegetarian options as well. I hope your place is more of a traditional deli where lobster dishes are non-existent. Some deli places, in struggling to offer options for their customers, come up with an extensive menu that does not fit what their restaurant is all about. Running a Fort Lauderdale catering business, I think that the quality of the food you serve is more important than quantity in terms of a wide selection in the menu.
