Amazing food and staff, Palma's has been in Worcester forever and there's good reason. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home. The food is delicious, I've eaten here for both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast sandwiches are great and the Italian sandwich is a neighborhood favorite. My wife and I are queer and we feel very comfortable here.
I got a soup and Greek salad with chicken on top… it was delicious!!!! The soup was just right. Not too salty not too bland. Perfect for the weather! And everyone here is very nice and it’s a family owned business vibe. I’m glad they are still open and doing well.
Have been there twice now and their meatball sub is one of the best that I’ve ever had. I hear the Italian subs are great as well. I’ve also tried the cannolis and they were very delicious as well. They have so many other pastries and Italian cookies that look delicious and I can’t wait to try. I also noticed fresh Italian bread for sell that looked delicious and really peaked my interest. Would recommend and will definitely return!!
Glad I stopped by here. This place had one of the best Italian subs I’ve ever had in my life! Very very authentic Italian deli/bakery/cafe. Great place to grab food or just enjoy an espresso coffee. They also have some European products for sale.
Very friendly authentic foods and made with fresh quality ingredients. Italian pastries are incredible. If you want a large order call ahead of time! Perfect for any special occasion. They have everything from cookie platters to pies. I highly recommend the carrot cake,it was so delicious, light and fluffy but the frosting made it even better! Breakfast sandwiches are freshly made and they offer deli sandwiches for lunch I also grabbed some pasta with sauce to cook at home. The people are so kind & friendly here. The place is very clean. I live over an hour away and I'll be returning again as it's worth the drive.
