Serrelli's Finer Foods Has Been Serving One of Chicago's Best Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches Since 1934

When Chicagoans start talking about legendary Italian beef, a few names always come up. One of the city's true hidden gems is Serrelli's Finer Foods, located at 6454 W. North Ave. on Chicago's northwest side. Family-owned and serving the community since 1934, Serrelli's has spent more than 90 years perfecting a recipe that has been passed down through generations.  

Their famous Italian roast beef sandwich is everything a classic Chicago beef should be—thinly sliced, incredibly tender, packed with rich flavor, and served on fresh bread that perfectly complements every juicy bite. It's the kind of sandwich that keeps customers coming back decade after decade.

Customize Your Perfect Italian Beef

One of the best things about ordering at Serrelli's is making the sandwich exactly the way you like it.

Choose Your Preparation

Every Chicago beef fan has their own favorite way to enjoy it:

• Slightly Wet – A touch of savory au jus adds flavor while keeping the bread perfectly balanced.

• Juicy – The classic Chicago favorite. The sandwich is generously soaked in rich beef juices for maximum flavor.

• Dry – Enjoy the full taste of the seasoned roast beef while letting the fresh bread shine.

No matter which option you choose, you'll enjoy the same tender beef that's made Serrelli's a neighborhood institution for generations. 

Pick Your Favorite Peppers

A great Italian beef isn't complete without choosing your toppings.

Serrelli's lets you customize your sandwich with:

• Hot Giardiniera for a bold, spicy kick

• Mild Giardiniera for flavorful crunch with less heat

• Sweet Peppers for traditional Chicago-style sweetness

• No Peppers if you want the rich beef to take center stage

Whether you're a lifelong Italian beef enthusiast or trying one for the first time, there's a combination that's perfect for you.

A Chicago Tradition That Has Stood the Test of Time

Serrelli's story began during the Great Depression when founder Louis Serrelli and his son developed what would become their signature Italian roast beef sandwich. Their family recipe quickly became a neighborhood favorite, and remarkably, it remains essentially unchanged today. Generations of Chicago families have enjoyed the same authentic flavors their parents and grandparents grew up with.

Today, Serrelli's continues to roast thousands of pounds of Italian beef while remaining one of Chicago's oldest family-owned food businesses, proving that quality and tradition never go out of style. 

More Than Just a Sandwich Shop

Beyond their famous Italian roast beef, Serrelli's Finer Foods is also a specialty Italian market featuring fresh meats, prepared foods, Italian groceries, catering, gift packages, and homemade family recipes that have been enjoyed throughout Chicago for decades.
