Delis in Easton, PA: 3 Local Favorites, Compared
Quick Answer: Easton's deli scene in our directory data comes down to three genuinely different operations rather than three versions of the same thing. Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille carries the deepest review record at 512 and is the only one of the three open six days a week with a dine-in room and outdoor seating. Noto's Deli is close behind at 479 reviews but is takeout-only — there's no dining room at all. Betty's Luncheon is the smallest by review count at 95, and the only one of the three closed entirely on weekends.
Key Takeaways:
- Most reviewed: Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille at 512 reviews, just ahead of Noto's Deli at 479. Betty's Luncheon trails well behind at 95.
- Only one is takeout-only: Noto's Deli has no dine-in service listed in Google's verified data — orders go out the door, full stop.

- Only one delivers or takes reservations: Betty's Luncheon is the sole delivery and reservations option among the three, despite being the smallest by review count.

What Are the Best Delis in Easton, PA?
Deli Easton PA: A local search for sandwich counters and lunch spots in Easton specifically, as opposed to the broader Lehigh Valley. Our directory tracks three delis here, all on or near Northampton Street corridor addresses, and all rated within a tenth of a point of each other — 4.8, 4.8, and 4.7. What actually separates them isn't the rating, it's the format: one is a sit-down market with a full menu and outdoor seating, one is a classic breakfast-and-lunch counter, and one doesn't seat you at all.
Local rule of thumb: "Deli" doesn't mean the same thing at all three of Easton's spots. If you want to sit down and eat, Noto's Deli isn't an option — it's takeout-only with no dining room in Google's verified data. If you're planning a weekend visit, Betty's Luncheon is closed both days. Check the format and the day before you drive over, not just the rating.
Which Deli Has the Deepest Review Record?
Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille on Cattell Street holds the deepest review history of the three at 512, with a 4.8 rating. It's also the most full-service of the group: dine-in, outdoor seating, a children's menu, and both a free parking lot and free street parking. It's open six days a week, 9am to 3pm, closed only on Sunday. Noto's Deli on Northampton Street trails closely at 479 reviews and a 4.7 rating, an impressive record for a counter with no seating at all — it's takeout-only, open Tuesday through Saturday, closed Monday and Sunday.
Why Is Betty's Luncheon Different From the Other Two?
Betty's Luncheon, also on Northampton Street, is the smallest of the three by review count at 95, but it's the most service-complete: it's the only one of the three that lists delivery and the only one that accepts reservations, according to Google's verified data. It also reports full wheelchair accessibility — entrance, parking, restroom, and seating — the only one of the three to check all four boxes. The tradeoff is timing: it runs a tight Monday-through-Friday week, 8am to 3pm, and is closed entirely on Saturday and Sunday, the only deli in Easton we track with no weekend hours at all.
What Makes Noto's Deli Different?
Noto's Deli stands apart on format alone: Google's verified service data lists takeout only, with no dine-in option, meaning there's nowhere to sit and eat on-site. Despite that, it carries 479 reviews at a 4.7 rating — nearly matching Giacomo's for review depth, which suggests the food carries the business more than the experience does. It's open Tuesday through Friday, 8am to 4pm, plus Saturday 9am to 3pm, and reports a wheelchair-accessible entrance and free street parking, though not the fuller accessibility record Betty's Luncheon carries.
Which Easton Deli Is Open on Weekends?
Two of the three are open at least one weekend day. Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille runs its normal 9am-to-3pm hours straight through Saturday, closing only on Sunday. Noto's Deli is open Saturday too, 9am to 3pm, though it's closed Sunday and Monday both. Betty's Luncheon is the outlier — closed both Saturday and Sunday, the only one of the three with zero weekend availability. If a weekend deli run is the plan, Betty's isn't the stop.
How Do Prices and Parking Compare?
Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille sits a tier above the other two in our directory data at $, while Betty's Luncheon and Noto's Deli both sit at the cheapest tier, $. Parking follows a similar pattern: Giacomo's is the only one of the three with a dedicated free parking lot in addition to free street parking, while Betty's Luncheon and Noto's Deli both rely on free street parking alone. None of the three list paid parking as an option, so street availability is the practical constraint at the two smaller spots, particularly around a lunch rush on Northampton Street where both are located.
How Do the Weekday Hours Compare?
All three delis run a breakfast-into-early-afternoon schedule on weekdays, but the exact windows differ enough to matter if you're planning a specific stop. Betty's Luncheon opens earliest, at 8am, and closes at 3pm Monday through Friday. Noto's Deli also opens at 8am on the days it's open (Tuesday through Friday) but runs an hour later, closing at 4pm — the latest weekday close of the three. Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille opens latest at 9am and closes at 3pm every day it's open, including Saturday. None of the three stay open into the evening, so this is strictly a breakfast-and-lunch category in Easton, not a dinner option.
Why Are There Only Three Delis in Our Easton Rankings?
Three is a small field compared to some categories we track, and it is worth saying plainly: this is a narrower guide than our larger city roundups, built around the businesses we have verified rather than a padded list. All three, though, carry real review depth — combined, they account for more than 1,000 reviews in our directory data — and the variation between them in format and hours is real enough that knowing the difference matters more here than in a category with a dozen near-identical options.
Are Any of Easton's Delis Wheelchair Accessible?
Accessibility coverage varies across the three. Betty's Luncheon is the only one reporting the full set in verified Google data — a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating. Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille reports three of the four, missing only accessible parking specifically (though it does offer a free lot in general). Noto's Deli reports the least of the three, with only a wheelchair-accessible entrance listed. If full accessibility is a requirement, Betty's Luncheon is the clearest match, weekday hours permitting.
Which Easton Deli Should You Choose?
- Want to sit down and eat? Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille is the only one with a proper dining room and outdoor seating.
- Ordering ahead for pickup only? Noto's Deli is built for exactly that — it doesn't offer dine-in at all.
- Need delivery or a reservation? Betty's Luncheon is the only one of the three that offers either, according to Google's verified data.
- Planning a Saturday trip? Giacomo's and Noto's are both open; Betty's is closed.
- Need full accessibility? Betty's Luncheon is the only one reporting a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating all four.
Bottom Line: Pick the Format, Not Just the Rating
All three delis in Easton that we track land within a tenth of a point of each other on rating, so the real decision is about format and timing rather than quality. Giacomo's Italian Market and Grille is the safest all-around pick if you want to sit down, eat outside, and have Saturday as an option. Noto's Deli is for takeout specifically — don't expect a table. And Betty's Luncheon is the one to call if you need delivery, a reservation, or full accessibility, as long as your visit falls on a weekday.
