Meet Emilio and Jospehine Polito, who run a distinctive Italian Deli in Whitestone, Queens. Their 3 children– Tommy, Mario, and Angelo– all operate in the deli too, and will remember your name (the majority of the time), your order, and be the first to tell you that no one's cooking compares with their mother's. Tony's is their home. We just may relocate, too.

A joy ❤
Time to eat!
The full video about this spot is worth the watch for sure👍👍👍
Omg that bread looks absolutely divine. Such a special place
Love businesses/people like this. Who cares if it is fully authentic, nothing is anymore. Embrace the love they have for the culture and good food.
“Fully Authentic” is a complete gimmick anyways. Cuisine and culture evolve rapidly, and thats how businesses develop a niche to secure themselves in. That’s authentic.
I gotta go here
Amazing
When you goto Tony’s, it’s an entire experience, the quality is always the highest, on a cold day they hand you an espresso, and the holidays at Tony’s.
This is how a shop should be run. Beautiful people.
There should be one of these delis in every neighborhood
Unfortunately too expensive for the average Joe to go more than twice a month. People rather go to Aldi and Walmart.
We’ll said
At least in MY ‘hood!
@F-R-D-SYou blaming Tony or the economy with grossly uncompetitive wages?
@AndrewBlacker-t1d sure, whatever floats your boat. Fact is that not many people can go out often enough to sustain a business like this everyday.
That is why I go by Em instead of Emilio
Emilio is a great name.
There is nothing i would be more proud of, than to be called the wrong name by an italian deli/shop owner
That smile is what keeps me comin..
Wishing the whole family happiness and continued success 👏
He is one of the kindest Italian’s I’ve ever seen online. 🎉
Such a wholesome environment ❤. Peace be upon you brothers
This is life ❤
The Tony special is to die for…Queens stand up!
Emilio is a beautiful name
