A Chicagoland Staple

Rex first opened in the 60’s on Chicago’s west side, making a splash on the scene with its homemade Italian Beef and selection of fine Italian Deli meats. After moving to the north side, Rex has continued its legacy of excellence, catering to hungry Chicagoans for 60 years and counting!

It's All About the Food

We built our reputation on authentic, homemade specialties, particularly the Italian Beef and our sausages stuffed by hand in house with our own secret blend of meats and spices. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch or need to cater your next big event, Rex has you covered with the best Italian foods you’ll find in the neighborhood!

As soon as I stepped inside this little corner deli I realized that this was a real deal Italian joint. Paninis, subs, pastas, fresh baked cookies, spumoni. Spumoni! I haven't had this in forever. Everyone is friendly and the prices are great for the quality of food. And the quality is five stars all the way. I went with the Guy Fieri sausage sub. Real Italian sausage, marinated peppers, Italian roll. Really good. Second visit: I came back with my fiance so she could sample the great food too. My Italian Sub was really good. Her stuffed pepper was divine, maybe the best I've ever tasted. It came with generous portions of a delicious focaccia bread. She ended up getting two meals out of it all. We both give it five stars.

Italian deli where you can pick out pre-made pastas, variety of salads, eggplant parm, arancini, calzone, soups, cookies and pay by the pound or per item. It's laid-back and easy to find something you'll like. The vegetarian options we've tried there have been full of flavor. We've been there a few times, and it's been a consistently good experience. The people working there are friendly and helpful. They have tables inside if you want to sit down and eat your meal there.
