Virgilio's Bakery & Deli - Gloucester, MA

Regular customers know Virgilio’s as a great source of take-out sandwiches made on fleecy submarine rolls. We are especially fond of the “St. Joseph” (named for the patron saint of working men), which is Italian cold cuts, oil and spices. Most business is take-out, but there area couple of tables for dining here.

Michael Stern

"In Virgilio's window is a motto we can live with: 'Bread Makes the Sandwich.' In this case, excellent bread is abetted by top-notch cold cuts, oil and spice."
