Fratelli’s Delicatessen

Fratelli’s Delicatessen brings a family-run, counter-service deli experience to Sweetwater Town Center in Apex, channeling the owners’ New York and Chicago roots into a welcoming spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests line up at the counter for stacked sandwiches and deli staples while the team shares the story of Nan, the matriarch whose recipes and hospitality inspired the concept and continue to guide the family’s approach to cooking and community.

All-day breakfast sandwiches and bowls headline the menu, from the over-the-top Hungry Man with eggs, bacon, sausage, and ham to the Jersey Classic with Taylor pork roll. Signature hot picks such as the meatball parm with house marinara and the Chicago-style Da’ Beef share the spotlight with cold heroes like the Berserker roast beef, antipasto salads, and a grab-and-go market of pastas, sauces, and deli meats.

Beer, wine, mimosas, and Bloody Marys complement the hearty fare, and the kitchen maintains a dedicated station for gluten-free orders to keep sensitive diners comfortable. Diners can linger in the cozy indoor space or spread out on the expansive patio that seats about 50, while dessert cases tempt with cannoli, cheesecake, and Italian cookies, proof that Fratelli’s is as much neighborhood hangout as it is a destination deli.
