GENEVA, IL — Genevans can now access a slice of New York City without hopping aboard a flight.
A New Yorker born and raised in Queens, Nick Gaynor brought a taste of the city that never sleeps to Geneva by opening Nino's Italian Deli, a small counter-service restaurant off State and Fourth streets.
"I missed the sandwiches from home," he told Patch. "The style that we do it, where we cut very, very thin slices of meat versus more of a thick cut that I've noticed in other places. ... We wanted to bring that style [to Geneva]."
Nino's uses the highest-quality meats and cheeses for its sandwiches, though the price gives customers the "best bang for your buck," Gaynor said. He sources turkey breast from a small farm in Michigan, bread from the East Coast and some styles of mozzarella from Italy.
