“You will not find a fresher, more delicious, authentic, amazing sandwich anywhere. This place is the real deal. I had the "Fonz" which is chicken cutlet (thin and crispy and perfect) fresh mozz, roasted red pepper, arugula, balsamic. Tough to park but for that sandwich you figure it out.“
“a wonderful place to go to! When dining out, having great food, excellent service, and a pleasant ambiance can greatly enhance the overall experience. A delicious meal, attentive staff, and a comfortable environment all contribute to creating a memorable dining experience. It's always a pleasure to find a place that excels in all these aspects.“
“Food was so good. We had 2 Tacos de Birrias, 2 Tacos Al Pastor, and 4 Tacos Jalapeños. I loved the Al Pastor and my husband loved the Jalapeños. It's a small place, but so clean. There were only two people behind the counter, but they were so courteous and you could tell take pride in the food they make. We also drank El jugo de tamarindo and it was perfect. Not too sweet, not too bitter. We went there strictly because of their high rating online, and they deserve every star they have.“
“Never had anything less than a delicious experience. The bagels are always fresh, the filings are perfect - white fish, pork roll egg and cheese, chicken salad… really the best bagel joint in the area. Quick, efficient service in a classic storied bagel house. Simply the best.“
“Went to IL Posto Eatery for the 1st time and what a great place this is. The sandwiches were outrageous and the rice balls were outstanding, the best I ever had! My new favorite Italian deli, so glad I stopped in. Give it a try, you will be glad you did!!“
“Super nice ladies working there. I came in right before close and didn't want to make them do anything whole they were cleaning up but they insisted I order something and did not mind one bit. Got the potato/cheddar and Philly cheese steak pierogi. Both were fantastic!Store is super clean with a bunch of great snacks you can't find anywhere else. I'll be stopping back in for sure!“
“Heard NJ had some good Italian delis so was in the search for one nearby this weekend and it was a pretty good find. Very homey vibes as soon as you walk in. Staff was friendly. We were the only ones there upon arrival, less than an hour before closing on a Saturday afternoon but shortly after they had a mini rush and some locals picking up a catering order. We ordered a half and full but the half was a decent size so don't be fooled. Two sandwiches, a lasagna roll up and two bevs was about $31 total, I would say pretty affordable. I would return and maybe create my own. The Italian was delicious, def recommend. I got the Chicken Avocado BLT, tasty but not sure I like the fried avocado. Some fresh avocado, cheese and maybe a pesto would've knocked it out the park for me! They also have some frozen items you can take home. Good start to my search for an Italian deli.“
“Not only is the food great, but they are incredibly friendly and remember everyone who comes through. By my 4th visit they had my order memorized and when I lost my voice I didn’t even have to say a word and they took amazing care of my lunch experience. I only have a short lunch window each day and every time I’m there, without fail, they are able to give me a quick and convenient experience without sacrificing the pleasant atmosphere.“
“This spot makes the freshest, most delicious Italian sandwiches one can ask for. My parents have ordered from here several times and each time we enjoy the sandwiches, it is well-worth it. At least when you walk in, you know what your getting is fresh and quality-based.“
“Best Taylor ham egg and cheese around. I told the owner I traveled 3,000 miles to try this place. He said if you don't like it for whatever reason, we'll make it again! The service was excellent and classic Jersey vibes. I will come here again when I visit town. I highly recommend this place.“
“What is not to like about this place?Warning: if you have a shopping list or have an idea of what you are planning to buy, try to stick with it. Otherwise, you will end up buying much more ?Their meatballs are so good that they don't last more than a day.Their sandwiches are great as well and with one you even have enough for 2 meals.The only item that is not my favorite is their mozzarella cheese, which I find too salty. But if you mix it with mushrooms you can make great quesadillas.“
“My son and I stopped in on Thursday of last week, on a whim, after picking up some items from the dollar store a few doors down. I had heard good things about the food, from my friend, who owns Pro Braids next to Irvington Post Office. My son ordered a turkey and cheese sub. He is a picky eater( with new restaurants). But he enjoyed the sandwich a lot. I am sure we will be back again. Good size portion and Halal!!Cannot get any better than that.Good addition to the neighborhood!“
“Had the pleasure of stopping into Iorio Deli with friends Eric from Cultinary Road Trip and Tyler from Foodula. Had the chance to meet “The Boss” Gilda and her son Joe as well as the rest of the very friendly and helpful staff here. We tried a plethora of things so this may take a minute haha.Started off with two stuffed breads - A Reuben as well as a Pepperoni roll. The Reuben had a great flavor and the bread itself was tasty. It was slightly odd in my mind to eat a Reuben without grilled rye, but I enjoyed this. The pepperoni stuffed bread was also good and was even better with the addition of some sauce (they called it gravy and I thought I was in trouble haha).After that we were hit with some delicious Italian items including their house made meatballs, Italian sausage and peppers, and chicken Parmesan. The meatballs were just rated #1 in Central Jersey and #2 in the entire state of NJ at the Pizza Bowl a few months back. I could see why. Very tender, perfectly seasoned, and again that sauce/gravy was killer. To be honest though, I may have enjoyed the sausage even more! I mentioned how I didn’t get hit with that typical overwhelming pop from fennel seed and Joe said they make it with ground fennel so the flavor is still there but it’s not so in your face. I loved, and I mean loved, this sausage. The chicken parm was also very good but I had a small piece because I knew what was coming next!We finished off by trying two sandwiches that Iorio is well known for. The first was “The Jocelyn” which was a roast beef and Swiss melt on an onion roll, and the second was “The Sloppiest Joe” which was a North NJ staple “sloppy joe” but in epic proportions. The Jocelyn had good flavor and the onion roll was a nice touch and change of pace. The sloppiest Joe is sitting inside the top 3 I’ve had probably ever. The meats were freshly sliced and piled high, the rye was super fresh, and the Cole slaw had get flavor and added welcomed creaminess to the sandwich.As if there was any doubt at all - Iorio Deli in Roselle Park, NJ - Didn’t Suck!“
“Lakeside Deli is an amazing place for their delicious food! I called to place a catering order at 10:30 and it was ready by 12! Where can you get that kind of service nowadays?? Staff is superb, very knowledgeable and helpful! And the food is Delish! Thanks Lakeside for being there as needed!“
“Had an awesome meal with my girlfriend at the deli last weekend. Cranford crack didn’t disappoint and I’m still thinking about the chicken cutlet! Dominic came to sit and chat with us and Joanie was the belle of the ball. Such a great experience. Can’t wait to bring my son and husband back.“
“I've been here for a year, and just now do I discovered this most amazing Italian Deli.(Only 2.5 miles from my hotel)The owner SAl was Incredibly cordial and extremely hospitable apon my entering the store, he could pretty much tell I wasn't sure about what I wanted and offered me some samples and answered all my questions, so helpful.( I say customer service is not dead. You just need to go to the right joints )Everything looked so amazing. I decided on trying three sandwiches.1. Chicken parm. ( Incredible Delicious)2. Meatball Parm. ( Super Delicious as well)3. Pastrami on Rye. ( For tomorrow )4 Tiramisu. ( Dessert )5. Vanilla Cream SodaEverything was perfect!!!Hands down the best deli I've found in New Jersey since I've been here.All in all, I had an incredible experience at this Italian Deli! From Sal's hospitality to the delicious sandwiches and desserts, it seems like I've found a gem.It's great to know that customer service is alive and well at this spot in New Jersey!“
“I often find myself dreaming about the next time I’m going to have a sandwich from here. That’s how good they are. I moved out of state but every time I visit, I tell my mom we’ve gotta pick up sandwiches when I get back! Also, the family that runs this place is the best!“
“Really great! A much better value for breakfast than the hotel next door. Super friendly staff. There aren’t many places left to get a filling lunch for $5 but this is one of them!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian egg-based options. Has almond milk for coffee“
“Great little deli. Best sloppy Joe's in Summit maybe the entire area. Great staff fast and kind. They can crank it out. You know it's good when you keep running into police officers. All old school recipes. You really have to try the brothers out“
“Dropped by today for lunch, got a grilled eggplant wrap. Full of flavor, super juicy and as thick as a baseball. Fresh mozz, arugula, grilled eggplant, sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and a balsamic fig glaze on a whole wheat wrap. This and a can of soda was $14.24. Good stuff!“
“Mermaid?♀️ is amazing how this tiny place is able to pack in all its inventory and customers day in and day out. What’s even more amazing is how much competition they have within a 2 mile radius and it is thriving. The real testament on how well they do, the quality of their cooked foods and the selection it has to offer. It is a bustling hub of culinary delights within the Polish community. Renowned for their prepared lunch counter, the spotlight shines on this culinary delight where I have seen the queue 5-10 people deep. Do not forget the delectable dessert case- it’s a sweet haven. The perpetual buzz of activity extends beyond the store, spilling into the ever-busy parking lot. Dziękuję Syrena ?? “
“I’ve lived in Belleville for 16 years and driven by this restaurant hundreds of times and didn’t think much of it, then I ordered their Krispy chicken tenders and sweet potato fries and WoW!! How unexpected, the chicken was moist and delicious on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. Literally the perfect marriage of crispy and super moist that you want in fried chicken. The fries were great too. My husband ordered a chicken parmigiana sandwich and was also shocked that it was better than any Italian restaurants, sub shoppe or pizzeria he’s order from before. This place is a hidden gem of deliciousness!! You must try it, you will not be disappointed!“
“This is my go-to deli whenever I am craving a sandwich for lunch. The staff here is super duper friendly. I am always satisfied with the service. I definitely recommend! :) The prices are also very good. Especially when you get a big sandwich for a decent price. :-) Thanks for being awesome guys.“
“Friendly atmosphere. Great menu, delicious food.! I would come back anytime. Highly recommend stopping by, making friends with the owner and feeling at home while there. Great place to visit while in between work meetings, a lunch break or just need food and place that will hug your spirit: :)“
“Give it a try. Food tastes homemade, like your Polish grandma made it, or if you're not Polish and had a childhood friend who was, like that friend's mama made it. Food is made fresh every day. You can get some traditional hot Polish foods, pierogi, stuffed cabbage, kielbasa/kraut, potato pancakes, and you can get some non-traditional hot foods, Goulash, chicken cutlet...w/mashed. You can buy kielbasa and pierogis to cook yourself at a future date, and fresh sauerkraut. Lots of imported Polish goodies, and if you don't know what they are, just ask.Fresh deli meats and cheeses. Try a sandwich!Extremely friendly owner, working hard to earn your dollar. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy.“
“These are the BEST quesabirria tacos I have EVER had! They taste like home ?? tacos come with cheese and a very delicious consume. It was not too salty nor too watery, but a perfect consistency. The carne was seasoned to perfection, and it was a nice amount. They were not cheap with the portions! You get 3 nice big tacos.This is definitely a Hidden Gem in the East Coast ! Restaurant is extremely clean and staff is really friendly. You have to give them a try!“
“Do I feel like I'm "stepping out" on Belgiovine's when I'm in Montclair but decide to come here instead? (I do.) But it'll only take one visit for you to be a true believer as well. It's small. You walk in and aside from the squad of friendly workers at both main counters you'll first encounter the amazing breads (and treats). All the shapes, styles and sizes your carb-loving heart desires will be found on one of these racks. Expertly made... dense, sturdy, flavorful, with a mighty crust (that'll give your Fixodent a workout!). Take a few steps towards the 'back' and now you're at the deli and it's overflowing with options. Each item looks bewitching and alluring and before you can even finish saying, "A pound of..." - somehow it's already sliced and bagged and the guy is waiting on the next item you need. (Maybe it's that luscious square of eggplant parm that they've intentionally left "posed" on top of the spatula or the Italian hot dog platter or that mountain of sauteed broccoli rabe that you know it's going to have that perfect 'bite'.) And as soon as you get home you immediately start crafting what's to be a most perfect sandwich with their seeded semolina, fresh ball of mootz (so creamy and delectable), and a few other odds-and-ends you snagged. Thank goodness this town is big enough for more than one amazing Italian deli and I don't have to pick which is my all-time fave.“
“The place has such a vibe. The food is just delicious. I had a bacon egg and cheese and a chicken cutlet sandwich. We all have that sandwich spot. The one we like the bread at or the coffee or the way we get treated. This is my spot now. Customer service made you feel right at home. The vibe made you want to stay and relax for a little. Take some time and read this memo the owner has posted by the register. I should have taken a picture but the one line that stop out to me, If you need to vent do it because I will vent to you. I didn’t quote because I know is not just right but that just said so much to me about the place. I will be there again tomorrow. ??Ps. Got a pic of the memo also another chicken cutlet“
“Once in awhile you come across a business owner who takes enormous pride in their products, and makes them as though they are making it for their own family. I called Cioffi's and got Jerry the owner, who helped make my friend's birthday extra special by honoring my request for a heart-shaped pizza to be delivered to his house on his birthday. Jerry was in on it from the moment I explained what I wanted, as excited and joyful about the surprise as I hoped our friend would be! He was excited about our idea, excited for my friend, and excited to play his part in the whole thing. He even sent me texts as he was preparing it and just before he gave it to the delivery guy. I am so grateful for such a well executed (and delicious!!!!) surprise. Thank you, Jerry!!! Stay YOU!!“
“(There's a pang of sadness when I see any of my old reviews that mention Clinton's iced teas. I guess I can find comfort that I drank entirely too many of them in my youth and even my own kids got to try them once or twice before the company went kaput.)Onward and upwards... it's now (almost) 2024 and while the the shelves are a bit more sparse than I recall and they got rid of their lottery machine (which seemed to bring in a lot of old-timers) - what I'm here for is their sandwiches.Specifically their #1 Italian. And I'm happy to report: they're still the best around.(And it tasted even better after a recent not-so-good visit to a Jersey Mike's in my hometown.)Besides their incredible subs you'll find the usuals (chips, soda, ice cream) and a few random items (aspirin, Chapstick).Cool crew behind the counter.Good pricing for such a quality product.Trying to find parking is still a nightmare.'Enjoy every sandwich.' -- Warren Zevon(No truer words were ever spoken.)“
“Just "discovered" this little gem of the store. Small place but they have everything Polish a food connoisseur might want. Their pierogis were delicious and smoked kabanosy very devoured by the family as soon as they arrived home. Yummmy!“
“It's a lovely place excellent customer service. Service with a smile, very professional excellent mannerism, sandwich I love the most is the a t m with spinach, with no salt. Sooo good. I figure I try it once, second time maybe it will have a different taste, no fourth, fifth one just as good as the first.Vegetarian options: Sandwich I order, excellent ??“
“Great local deli and my go to lunch spot. Neris is super affordable and their quality and portions are amazing. Every sandwich and soup I’ve had is always great and never disappoints. The staff is always friendly as well. If you’re looking for a quick lunch with great service and prices this is your spot.“
“This is my secret go-to place for made-to-order deli sandwiches in Newark. The place is located right around the corner from the Prudential Center. Krauszer's has a few locations across Newark, but this particular one is my favorite. Why? Because it's never busy and the workers are all very courteous. The main guy with the mustache (forgive me, I forget his name) greatly appreciates every customer, so I will always go out of my way to support businesses like these. I usually get their honey turkey spinach wraps--always fresh and very affordable! They don't have in-store seating, so it will be takeout at this location. **TIP: The made-to-order items come with a free bottle of water or a can of soda.“
“The wife and I had a busy day and we were hungry. Fast food seemed to be the choice until we passed by this place by chance on Stevens Avenue. We stopped in, looked at the choices and decided to give them a try with their special and an eggplant Parm that looked real good. When we sat down at home to a glass of wine and this food, we were floored. Real food, absolutely delicious and healthy. And the price was an incredible value for what we got. We will be regularly returning. It's obvious the nice people there genuinely care about their craft. What a find!!!!So here is an update. My wife and I tried this place again. This time we brought a nice bottle of Chianti and sat down in a very, very simple decor. Forget the decor. We split the appetizer, crescentina (Bolognese) with arugula, burrata mozzarella (he made it) and San Danielle prosciutto. They are starting to make pizza so we decided to split a Margerita. WOW! We walked out not bloated, satisfied and pining to come back next week. We spent about $35 ( not including tip). Again. An value unheard of in the city. As a newbee from the city to Little Falls, I can not believe the quality of the food these two put out. It is on par with the city and way, way, way better priced. This is a place to go to every other week, if not more. WE WILL BE BACK!!!Vegetarian options: The owner told us to just tell him we wanted and they will make itKid-friendliness: What kid does not like meatballs?“
“I would always get a chicken soprano with double meat. Al knew exactly how I Wanted it. I would put a twist on it. I would always get chicken cutlets with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers, balsamic vinegar, lots of bacon and prosciutto❤️Parking: It's on the street and if you get lucky and get a spot you're good“
“Our favorite Italian Gourmet Delicatessen!!Wide variety of sandwiches, salads and hot entrees!The best Brooklyn bread!Enjoy getting cold cuts especially their imported Italian Prosciutto!We always get their fresh mozzarella balls, roasted red peppers and olive salad.We enjoy the feast at home!Highly recommend!“
“This place has been where my family gets ravioli since I was born. There’s no place better in my opinion. It’s super affordable amazing delicious and is homemade in house. Get there as soon as possible and buy as many as you can with how much cash you “
“This place is the best deli I have ever been to! The sandwich I ordered was delicious and sooo fresh, definitely recommend coming here if you want an authentic deli sandwich. Also the owner was so nice and welcoming I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I get the chance to be back in the New Jersey area!“
“Amazing customer service. I called at closing time and asked if it was possible for them to get in a special order for the next day. They made sure the cut was exactly what I needed and then they stayed late to call around to source it. It was packed and ready for me when I went to pick it up. Cannot ask for better service than that.“
“Great polish food. I live 45min away and stop here for pierogis whenever in the area. From potato and cheese, to mushroom and even blueberry these are all best around. Also tried bean stew which is amazing. Bigos or hunter stew I guess is great ! Traditional dishes are also phenomenal around holidays. The bread is always fresh and probably best in the whole region. This is the place to shop if you're into this type of food.“
“Definitely My Go To Spot I always get*Italian cheesesteak*Italian cheeseBurger*Fries with tenders fries with cheese*Egg and cheese sandwich and everything is always good I used to live in the building on the corner 2 years later I still come here“

“Went here for a quick lunch and found the staff friendly and extremely nice. Ordered a wrap and was told to grab a drink and sit down. Ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and it was one of the best wraps I've had, not over sauced, right amount of cheese and lettuce. Definitely recommend.“
“I have to say, their quesadillas are rich in flavor and very well-seasoned. The quesadillas were made with flour tortillas that were warmed on a griddle, filled with cheese, and diced cooked chicken. It comes with a side of guacamole and a salad topped with Pico de Gallo. The portions and the combination on this plate are perfect. I’ve bought their quesadillas on many occasions, and their taste and presentation are consistent. Aside from their food, I can tell you that the staff in this place are truly kind, and courteous. They always greet you and always with a smile. Good customer service.“
“We were visiting from Australia and arrived a bit early when the staff noticed us trying the door they opened up early for us. The food was amazing and the warmth of the staff was exceptional as was the owner who went out of his way to make us comfortable. A must to visit especially if you’re a hockey fan…..although maybe not if you’re a rangers fan?“
“What a WONDERFUL place! Recommended by my grandma (a Bayonne native), we now go every time we visit New Jersey! You cannot beat the quality of their meats and cheeses, along with personable service, and cost for a FANTASTIC, must-have Italian sub. (:“
“First time at Michael’s Salumeria today. Found it by accident. We were just driving by and saw the panettones on display through the window. We bought a chicken Parmesan sandwich, etc. Great taste. Excellent service. We’ll be back for sure. ?“
“I celebrated my birthday today in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that we had a tremendous evening and the restaurant was evidently the reason for this strong celebration. The stuff collaborated in a very nice way, the food was tasty and my buddies were so pleased. We shall definitely visit again for more events. Thank you very much.“
“Bomb ass food. Had an appt nearby and decided to check in. Ordered shrimp tacos and grilled chicken with rice/peppers. Simple dishes but they perfected it. Lorena was sweet and attentive. The place gives that authentic feel - I really felt like I was in Mexico! Everyone was under 4ft, the decor was Mexican-esque and the music was perfectly aligned. Would return for sure!!“
“Multi layered sandwiches built with quality ingredients and fresh thin sliced rye bread. Homemade daily soups and baked goods. The secret frozen homemade soups are great care packages for college kids and under the weather friends. Tons of window seats in downtown South Orange, NJ make for the perfect lunch spot.“
