Following a New York Italian deli model, Arrosto Delicatessen specializes in pressed sandwiches on house-made bread. "Everything we can possibly make on the premises, we make here," Weber says. From the majority of their meats (with the exception of anything cured) to giardiniera to condiments like herb mayo and pesto, they pride themselves on their homemade ingredients. e inspiration for the business is rooted in the couple's time in New York, where they were co-workers who had the same lunch break. Together, they'd grab lunch at a variety of restaurants, including a deli. "We Arrosto Delicatessen's from-scratch menu sets it apart House made both really fell in love with it, as well as with each other," Weber says.

While their staff does accept cash tips, the deli doesn't have a tip jar or a tip line on its credit card receipts. "Nobody should count on a stranger's generosity to be able to pay their bills," Weber says.
