This is by FAR the best place in Calgary!!!! Tony Spolintini has the biggest heart, the staff is warm, caring and friendly beyond compair! I can't say enough about this wonderful family. I will forever be grateful for their kindness and generosity. The food is insane good! The charity they give back to those in need and their community is inspiring! Best Italian Deli in town!!!

The best deli in Calgary, the three amigos Tom , Tony and Mike are the most generous philanthropists in town and don't mention a word about it. Tony's Mom and dad work at the deli and they are both gems. It doesn't get more old world, old values than Spolumbos. The food is fresh, locally sourced and amazing ����
If you love Spolumbo sausage you will love the deli. Either eat in or take away the food is well portioned for the price and location. I have had an issue once with a roll that was dried, but it was replaced with a fresh roll and a sincere apology. Diverse menu of hot and cold items and a clean, nostalgic ambiance. Another Inglewood delight!
I love this place! It’s close to my house. The sandwiches are great but it’s not my go to. I love the lasagna and stuffed peppers for take out. It’s so easy to stop by and pick up pasta and sausages. It’s such an easy healthy meal when I don’t feel like cooking. Back to the sandwiches, they are fresh and delightful. (The side pickles are so yum)
One of the things I love about spolumbos is they always support the community and always help with donations for community events. :)
Today was the first time coming here for sunday lunch
Got the special sandwich was sooo tasty only down fall was the bread was dried out right thro the middle, Was basically a cracker.
So i ate it with out the "bread"
Next time i will ask for soft bread
But the meats and spread was so tasty
And the pickles OMG so good
This place never gets old for me. Love the salads, and the feel in the place. Sandwiches are dynamite, only heartbreaker.... they don't open Sundays. Parking is super easy, they have their own lot on the side.
Spolumbo's is staple in Calgary and home to the best sandwich in Calgary, the Spolumbo's Special. The quality of the ingredients and freshness of the bread are consistently excellent. The service is always great and personable contributing to the comfortable atmosphere along with the local memorabilia on the walls. As good as it gets for sandwiches and sausage.
I appreciate the concept. You can get this stuff in Safeway for half price. You get this at the Stumps games. Awesome with onions. The deli brings it into focus. It's a nice spot. It's good. It's Calgary. You're paying for it. It's a hot dog not a piece of art.
Living in Calgary you're almost guaranteed to come across Spolumbo sausages at some point. They're at the local grocery store or at the local diner. While their sausages are good they are not anything special. If you work in an office you've probably come across their sandwiches as well. This seems to be the go to place in Calgary for Italian sandwhiches. They're big and very hearty. Going into Spolumbo during lunch time, it's generally hard to get a seat.
This is in a great location. Inglewood is such a nice area to wander around when it's nice outside. Came here for lunch with my boyfriend. While I am a fan of their sausages, I didn't know they made anything else until we went in. Their sandwiches are tasty and are well portioned. The gentlemen working there are always friendly and great at answering any questions you might have. Would probably come here more often if I didn't work/live so far away.
Absolutely love it here, it's a staple in our house hold. No other product compares to this sausage, it's natural, it isn't greasy, and the flavour combos are so delicious. In terms of the deli, the sandwiches are so good. The bread is fresh and crunchy and the cold cuts are tasty! Tuesday's are Spolumbo bun day and it's by far my kids favourite thing. I strongly suggest giving it a try, it's busy but the line seems to fly by. Great job to the owners and staff! Keep it up!!
Best sausage I have ever had... Won't buy another sausage anywhere else: also... Meatloaf sandwich is to die for! A family staple for sure, no other product on the market compares. We make sure to head down to the deli on Tuesday's for Spolumbo bun day, they're our absolute favorite!!

I love it, Wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often. But what happened to the bread on the meatloaf sandwich? The meatloaf is still outstanding, I'm not sure when they changed it from an Italian bun to this pita like bread but it takes a great sandwich and makes it very mediocre at best. Yuck. The Tomato salad is so delicious here, wow good!

It's been quite a while since I've enjoyed the delicious food here, what with Covid and all I guess. But I had an appointment nearby so stopped in and grabbed a sandwich to bring home. Of course the cutlet parm, still incredible delicious! I've missed the pickles! Thanks for the delicious food again today.

I travel a lot, well not these days, but one thing I love and pretty much every city I've been to or town on any continent is the fact you can get a great sandwich pretty much anywhere. Calgary is my birthplace and I love this city, but I always tell people it is chain restaurant hell here.
Spolumbos Is a special place, a place where everybody can feel welcome even though it is sports themed inside. It is owned by former Stampeder football players, and more often than not you are greeted by one of them coming in and yelled across the restaurant thank you when you were leaving. I don't mind the drive coming here because I know that the food is always incredible and then the atmosphere is great. I pretty much have to go-tos, either The Mamas meatloaf or the cutlet sandwich and I add hot peppers to both. Both of these sandwiches are so filling and you know you should only eat half and take the other half home but you can't stop because they taste too delicious with the amazing tomato sauce dripping down your hands and arms while eating them. Wow I'm getting hungry again!
They also have a counter where you can buy different flavored sausages and a freezer where you can buy prepared meals all for very reasonable prices. This is a must eat at place if you are visiting Calgary and a must eat that place if you live here.
This is an iconic place in Calgary and, if you haven't been here before, you should definitely give Spolumbo's a try. I've shared many meals here over the years with good friends (my favorite is the Montreal smoke meat) and they make terrific sausages! What keeps us coming back is the desserts. We can never leave this place without bringing home extra peanut butter chocolate chip bars, date squares, chocolate brownies and the incomparable magic squares which are truly magic!
Been coming here since I was a kid. Great food, amazing staff. It was a pleasure meeting Connor recently who treated me and my co workers exceptionally well whenever we come in. I find these guys make great consistent food, it’s always perfect. And everyone is super smiley. Thanks guys! Keep it up

Always loved the food here. Their sausage products are the best in town. I was absolutely blown away by how much the owner does for the community. Brings extra meaning to "support local".
Can't beat this place when your in the area and need something to eat. Not in the menu but ask for the budget special! One of their sausages on a bun with 2 huge meatballs and tomatoes sauce, its so good.
