I don't remember the date on this but the older man Federico has worked with Ross since he was 15 died suddenly yesterday. ( He was the one that said the market was like a wife to Ross). They closed the store yesterday.. Ross and him were like family. He was a big part of the Roma Family. RIP Federico.
🙏🏼 May Federico RIP.
Respects from Canada for this great man, and for sharing his amazing story
I grew up around the corner from here in the 90s/2000s. Thank you for making this; I can finally share this unique experience with others.
Yes!
Im here at least once a week. Don Rosario is a treasure ❤
I would love to go there
I came to Pasadena on a business trip once and this is the only thing I ate. I'd buy 2 every day. Coffee in the morning, 1 sandwich for lunch, 1 for dinner. One of the best weeks I can remember.
Fantastic story & this world will never be like ours was!!!!!!!!
I love this store and the sandwiches. I always felt good going to this store because of him. So respectful.
Mi Familia, My dad and Ross were cousins, My grandfather Peter Impala started this store.When I watched this, I had tears In my eyes.... Thank you Ross, for all you have done, We love you, Thank you Federico for looking after him. Love the Sandwich story never knew how it all came about.
Was your father Joe Impalà? My great grandmother was Angelina Mazzeo, her sister was married to your grandfather Peter Impalà, and her brother was Nicola Mazzeo the father of Rosario Mazzeo. My grandfather was Dominic Mavilia Puglisi my grandmother was Frances Oliveri. Mazzeo came from Faro Superiore Messina Sicilia and Impalà came from Massa Santa Lucia Messina Sicilia.
@@salvatorelucania1369 yes! So good to know. Have you been to Sicily to meet the rest in Faro Superiore?
Your grandfather Peter and your father Joe knew my grandparents Dominic and Frances very well. I have some pictures of your grandfather Peter and your father Joe with your grandmother

Awww memories of my youth. The bread is so yummy.. I am going to visit you Ross
Grew up a couple streets away, he’s like a distant uncle to me lol. Great man, great store, great sandwiches!
Love the Sandwich!❤
So glad he is still alive! Used to go there every week.
Love him!! ❤️
Dude’s a legend. I’ve bought sandwiches from him many times!
Aww, a great man he is! I hope I can taste his sandwich in the future. Thanks for this video.
Such a beautiful story, now I have to visit the place!
Beautiful video!
Great video! We used to live around the corner from Roma market. Miss this place
We grew up in Pasadena / Altadena in the 60s and Roma’s/Rosario was our “staple” for his sandwich and their pizza! Wonderful food and tradition when we visit the area. ❤❤
I couldn't love this anymore. I have never been to Roma. But I will go this week.
This is so wonderful! I am embarrassed to say I have lived close by for 30 years and never visited the Market! Now I will.
Thank you for making this!
Such a wonderful and welcoming place. Their sandwiches are amazing!!
Bravo ❤ci sone chose soldi non possono comprara tante rispetto Don Rosario🙏🏻
I see elements of my family in this story. It made me feel better, bravo. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this video! I have lived in Pasadena/Altadena since 1980. I have driven by the place when I drove on Lake, but never stopped in. Heard good thing before. This video sold me! I need to taste the fresh ingredients made into a sandwich. Now comes the hard part. Should I share this on my feed for others to see or do I keep this information to myself. Lol, chances are that every on my friends list knows about this and I am the one bringing up the rear.
Great work Jake and friends!
Those sandwiches r bomb!! My mom makes it for us tho we buy the fresh bread which is crispy and fresh, turkey and provolone!!! Soo delicious!!! Ive been going there since I was a kid!!!
Awesome!
Beautiful! That's amore.
Well done, thanks for this film. I’ll stop by whenever I’m down there.
very nice
I love visiting this store, feels special the moment you walk in. Always great to pick up new treats to try at home.
Greetings from portland oregon
What a wonderful video! Thanks so much for honoring Ross in this way. We lived in Pasadena for 40 years and he was always there! Great memories.
👏 BRAVO. That was a well made video. Thanks for creating. 💓
Great video. Brings back lots of memories. We lived 2 blocks away. I will always remember the way the store had that "Italian" smell. Cheese, meats, etc. Ah, now I'm hungry.
Nice work!
Good job on this!
I have been in there a few times... I'll pick up two similar items and from the back of the store I hear "Don't get that one- get the other one- it's better". Love going in there
God Bless Mr Mazzeo
This is a very well made short doc. Rosario is treasure. Nice to see him recognized.
Incredible story & man! Thank you for making this. I’m going to eat there next
Beautiful video
Great little film - will share it far and wide! Love this store and Signore Rosario. Decades ago when large supermarket workers in Pasadena went on strike we decided to shop in small family stores like his Roma Deli - and never looked back. Not just the sandwiches, but all his food is AMAZING, and Rosario as well as his cashiers and helpers are warm and helpful. Thank you for the film!!!
Roma, Rosario and the whole staff are great! Well done with the documentary!
🕊
Absolutely love it! Great job! ❤
Don't HESITATE, GO EAT HERE NOW before it's too late.
Many places like that in old New York, the Italian deli, the Jewish delicatessen, Puerto Rican Bodegas, those were the days.
Great job! Me ha encantado este documental. Felicitaciones Jake, por tu dedicación y bello trabajo.
I get a few sandwiches from him every other week. It’s a good shop.
Amazing doc fellas. Great work. I visit this gem place often.
Insane staying power
Okay, but WHERE is this sandwich place located??
If I could give it 100 likes I would.
still there in pasadena ca..$5 dollar sandwich
so how do take credit for just putting meat and cheese on a roll?
The guy on 5:17 should still ride his skateboard there please down vote if you're overweight

As a Greek I love Italian food and a great sandwich, but there is nothing special about that sandwich looking at it Sorry.
You don’t get it my Greek friend, but that’s okay.
