I was passing through Gran prairie and stumbled upon this absolute gem !! I can’t recommend my experience enough, I had a gorgeous Giorgio Armani ciabatta sandwich and it was ridiculously good. I am envious of the people of grande prairie having this insane place as a local stop. Amazing selection, inventive flavour and leaves you wanting more !!

This place is a gem. The sandwiches are delicious, the cheese selection is amazing and it’s our go-to spot for Italian grocery items. Bonus: impossible-to-find Italian and Sicilian beers. The staff is welcoming and the owner, Tony, is friendly and always takes a few moments to chat. We love this place.

First time trying this place out today! I got the Vesuvius sandwich with sauerkraut, and the daily soup special (okra, rice, chicken, etc). As well as a Black Forest cannoli. It was absolutely fantastic. Definitely a great place to grab food and such a nice staff. Would highly recommend heading in to grab some food! Tons of sandwiches to choose from, pastas, deli meats, cheese, fun snacks and more!

This small Italian Bistro is a hidden gem in Grande Prairie. Locally owned and operated with amazing staff and quality customer service. Got a sandwich too go, deli meats, cheese and some homemade sausages. The daily special sandwich was delicious. Can’t wait to try the sausages later with some pasta. Do yourself a favour and support Calabria Deli & Bistro. You won’t be disappointed.

Ordered takeout - spaghetti bolognese - and was absolutely delighted. I would drink the sauce, seriously, it was that good. Accompanied the lunch with tiramisu and could not have been happier. Service was exceedingly quick. Atmosphere is cozy, slection in store is great, and the smell of freshly cooked sauces and meats is a feast for the nose. A true GP gem.

I found Calabrias this past summer, and Ive been coming back weekly ever since. Ive been trying a new sandwich every visit and every one has been fantastic. Amazing breads, meats, and toppings with quality and selection you dont see anywhere else in town. Today I strayed and tried the featured individual pizza, and was blown away again. This place is a well kept secret and an absolute must try!

Really great cannoli! We tried them at GP nights. We went to the shop the other day, but they were closed well before the posted closing time that was pretty disappointing, because we were looking forward to seeing what else they had to offer! Edit: reply to the owner there was a sign posted saying that the shop would be closed early the day we went, but when we went in,(which was well before the posted time of early closure)the door was unlocked, we went in and the young man told us they were closed. We double checked the sign and our watches, and it was 45 minutes before they were due to close, even with the early closure.

Such a treasure trove of treats! Dozens of cheeses to try, imported and domestic salumi, soft drinks, and wines and Italian liqueurs now too. I want to try every last thing here but I might have to be carried out. The sandwiches are amazing, such a fun menu (I always order #11 - Le Streghe). The grocery items include pickles from all over Europe, fruit preserves, chocolate spreads, cookies, crackers, and so many pasta varieties and ingredients for sauces. They also make fresh cannoli and daily soups.

The sandwiches were very good, definitely the same standard that I have expected from that place for the last few years The Caesar salad was good and I m quite confident they do a housemaid dressing However, the cannoli was made with an artificial whipped cream, and I found that incredibly disappointing - Not the same calibre of cannoli that I m used to getting from there It was like the whipped cream that you get on top of drinks from Tim Hortons, like the bottom of the barrel artificial whipped cream

Long time supporter of this establishment. To say I would be disappointed would be an understatement. I was disrespected on more than one occasion and I will not support this type of behaviour from the owner. Sending a special thanks to Amber for all her great service. They clearly don t care about their product and customer retention. I will never set foot in this store again.

Worse experience ever at any deli ive ever been to. We came in to buy a bunch of meats, cheeses and pasta items. We were not greeted at all. The owner and an employee looked at us multiple times and didnt say a word. We tried to order the meats and cheese, and the girl working the till said she is only the till girl, she cant help us. The owner just had his back to us the whole time, store was empty. We paid for a couple dry items and left with no meat, cheese or lunch. When this place was Domenicos Deli it was 1000x better. Will never return here.

I love the atmosphere of the Domenicos Deli. Although I only go in there to get sandwiches and have yet to buy their meat/cheeses/etc, the employees are very kind and attentive. Sometimes I wake up and my first thought in the morning is that I need to get the Italian Job sandwich for lunch that day; it is THAT good! I believe last time I was in, one of the owners served me and she was so sweet, informative and talkative. Not to mention she spoke highly of her staff and said she enjoyed slow days so that her staff has a chance to experiment (the result was bacon chocolate chip cookies, which I wish I had tried). Overall, I love this place and will continue going there frequently because of how much I love to treat myself to their amazing sandwiches!! Go in and try one all while supporting local. :)

I woke up and really wanted a good sandwhich. Googled to see if there was a good deli in Grande Prairie and saw this place. So the mission was set and to the roads i set off. Upon arriving the staff greets you immediately with a smile. Helpful in any questions. I got 2 sandwhiches with some customization with no problems. The speed at which they made the 2 sandwhiches was impressive as well! Good organization. Now the Taste Test: First bites reaction W-O-W!! The feta veggie spread along with all the shaved deli meats was to die for. I will be going back many many more times when i need a sandwhich fix. Thanks Domenicos Deli!
