If you’re looking for the most delicious & cheap authentic Italian food let me put you on A Litteri Inc located in a very unassuming spot in Union Market. This old school - when we say old school it’s like the definition of O.G. It's the oldest Italian Grocery Store and Deli in DC. 

How it works: you can order a sub in one or two ways: onlie or pick up. The concept is simple: you pick from a divine list of ingredients and the sub master's craft it for you. If you decide to go for a pick up, take the time to shop around the grocery store. Packed with ingredients imported from Italy; the selection is incredible. If you need dinner for 2 hit the frozen fridge filled with Grandma's lasagna, raviolis & pizza dough.

Why Are Alitteri's Subs Are a Cut Above the Rest?

Quality Ingredients: At Alitteri’s, quality is paramount. From freshly baked bread to premium meats and cheeses, every ingredient is selected to ensure the highest standard of taste and freshness.

Generous Portions: Don’t let the price fool you. Alitteri’s subs are generously portioned, ensuring you get a hearty meal that satisfies both your hunger and your taste buds.

Authentic Recipes: Rooted in Italian culinary traditions, Alitteri’s subs offer a genuine taste of Italy. The recipes, passed down through generations, bring a slice of Italian heritage to every bite.

Price: Unbeatable prices especially in Union Market. To give you an idea, 6 inch  subs run for 6.99 and 12 inch subs for 12.99 - a steal for such a delicate food experience. 

Friendly Atmosphere: The warm, welcoming atmosphere at A Litteri's makes every visit a delightful experience. The staff’s passion for good food and excellent service shines through, making you feel like part of the Alitteri family.
