What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Antonella's Italian Kitchen is a classic Italian deli in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, built around made-to-order hoagies, fresh chicken cutlets, and homemade meatballs. Its Chicken Cheesesteak, sauteed onions and peppers finished with white wine and melted provolone on a toasted seeded roll, is the dish the deli's own website credits to a Food Network Best Thing I Ever Ate feature. The shop sits on Conestoga Road and runs daily specials, including a Monday and Tuesday hot roast pork sandwich and a Thursday sandwich the menu calls The Roy.

According to antonellasitaliankitchen.com, current as of 2026-09-08, the deli lists weekday hours running roughly 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., sells gift cards in person, and takes orders through its own site as well as DoorDash and Grubhub. The same site's footer carries a 2026 copyright line. The business also caters home and office events on request, per the same source.
