There is really nothing quite like home cooking: meatloaf, Shepherd’s Pie, hot soup, fresh carved turkey, or overloaded calzones. When you can’t do it yourself, you can always count on the folks at Victor’s Deli. Located on Broadway in Somerville, Victor’s is a neighborhood institution known for serving hearty, homestyle cooking for over thirty years. It all started back in 1982, when Victor Moccia and his wife Rosa started serving customers as if they were family.

“I cook exactly the way I cook for my family,” Rosa said. “I cook anything you want me to cook. Every day I come up with something different, and they can’t believe the food is so good, and I enjoy to do it.” While Victor still serves customers and Rosa cooks in the kitchen, the next generation has taken over much of the operation. Daughter Nancy Fucile and her husband Jason are the friendly faces you’ll find behind the line, plating up oversized portions of all of the food you love.
