Roma Market Italian Deli is an Italian supermarket and deli in Pasadena owned by Rosario Mazzeo and known for "the sandwich".
"The sandwich, as the late restaurant critic Jonathan Gold referred to it, is Mazzeo’s life’s work. Wrapped in cotton candy-colored butcher paper, its contents are simple and never change: crusty bread made by a Sicilian baker, a drizzle of good olive oil, a couple slices each of capicola, mortadella, salami and provolone. It has taken on legendary status over the years; a necessary stop for anyone who claims to know or love Italian sub sandwiches." Jenn Harris, Los Angeles Times
