Purchased a sandwich, # 25. It was delicious. Just a note...I would have liked to see more coldcuts in the sandwich. They were paper thin. It seemed like a veggie sandwich with a whisper of cold cuts. This store has a lot of delicious foods to offer. The cashier was friendly. read more

We've had them cook the BBQ package at our home 4 years in a row. All of our friends and neighbors rave about the food and look forward to our party every summer. The quality and quantity of the food is exceptional for the cost. And the cooks are always courteous and very helpful. They set up, cook, and clean up all very professionally. Pack up and label any leftovers and put them in your fridde. It is top notch service all the way. read more

Aleo's has all sorts of stuff here. You can get anything from stromboli to sandwiches to penne vodka. That is exactly what I did. The stromboli was delicious. The sandwiches were your standard fare. I likes the fried eggplant with mozzarella and peppers. The chicken was a little rubbery but still serviceable. The penne vodka was decent as well. Aleo's is a 3.5 star spot. One of those that if you need a bite it wouldn't do you wrong but won't wow you either. read more

Awesome food, great people! Best Italian Deli around! It feels like you're in Brooklyn!

We used Aleo's catering services for an executive event at work. Words cannot describe how impressed EVERYONE was with the quality of the salads, wraps, and hero sandwiches. They were accommodating with the order , punctual with the delivery, and the food was AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU Aleo's read more

It's pricey and it's really good. Outside my budget for going all the time, but every time we do pick up here it's such a treat. Owners clearly take pride in what they do, staff is always nice. It's a treasure for Lincroft. read more

I experienced Aleos when they catered my company's holiday party a few weeks ago...... and I was hooked! And I am VERY picky with my Italian food. I just had to try it again, and decided for the first time in 20 years, to have someone else (Aleos) cater for my family on Christmas Day. They did not disappoint. Not only was their pick-up on Christmas Eve completely seamless, during the drive up, I encountered someone named Christine who was just so kind and outgoing. Her customer service, along with the great tasting food, went beyond anything I could ever imagine. THANK YOU Aleos for making my 2023 Christmas stress-free, and THANK YOU Christine for being so awesome! read more

Would put a negative star if that was an option, my mother ordered on the phone for my dad's birthday and everything we received was wrong plus we were missing salad, bread and dessert and then when I called to ask if we could fix it they told me no and blamed my 84 year old mother. I was sitting next to her when she ordered and I heard her specifically ask for the "dinner package ". Unfortunately My dad picked everything up and did not know that items were missing or why. Also, it was $88 more than the original $100 package. read more

Holly Freaking WoW!! If your Italian & know great food, then this is the spot!!! My first time here coming just for lunch but I'm blown away by the presentation, selection & omg the taste!! The food taste so perfect!! I can not wait to bring my wife here!!! I will definitely be back!! read more

I have catered with Aleo's for personal and corporate events too many times to mention over the last 18 years. The meat, pasta, cheeses, salads, and sauces are consistently delicious and freshly prepared. No order is too big or small they are always there for us and are a pleasure to work with. I go exclusively to Aleo for my weekly staples. Their food is simply the freshest! I would just like to include that I will always remember the integrity of the owner and staff of Aleo during hurricane sandy. Many in our community was without electricity for two weeks. The people at Aleo's rose to the occasion with their generator and start pumping out delicious pizza pies to literally feed our community. The pies were low in price and the staff was always patient and pleasant to our community . I will never forget that! Consistent delicious fresh food and integrity! Second to none! read more

Aleo's did the food for my husband's repass and everything was delicious. I'm Italian and very fussy when it comes to eating Italian food outside of home, but the food beat my expectations. The eggplant rollatini was perfect nice bite and just the right amount of cheese. Baked ziti, sausage and peppers, chicken parmigiana and meatballs were just like mama makes. Thank you for making a difficult situation a little easier. read more

I was very disappointed with the service. I ordered for Thanksgiving on Tuesday the antipasto, 2 lbs for $50.00 mind you. I placed my order and was told to come back tomorrow at 12:30. The gentlemen that was there said you can come back in a couple of hours maybe I could make it. I was like no problem I'll just pick it up tomorrow. I leave my information credit card, and then I get a call later that day saying they can not fill the order. So now I have to go out the next day buy everything and put it together and we all know how crowded everything is now. So I thought I had everything and then the business calls to cancel no explanation just canceled who does business like that so disappointed. Food is good but i guess they don't care about the customer read more

Do NOT get spaghetti and meatballs on the kids menu, hot dogs or any of their subs. Their sauce is super pasty and not flavored at all, also their hot dog is in a regular Portuguese roll. My friends ordered a sub and they asked for hot peppers and got jalapeños. Instead of oil and vinegar they got balsamic. I know places that will explain before they deliver should they improvise on anything. And this place surely did not. They only received one star for the fast delivery. read more

Aleo Italian Specialties - Very Pasty and not flavored - Delis Near Me - Lincroft, New Jersey

Just had a party catered by Aleo. The food was delicious (chicken francese, penne vodka, rice balls, chicken cutlet hero) and the service was great too. I called to change my order a bit and the girl I spoke with was very helpful and didn't mind all my questions. Food was reasonably priced and everyone at my party loved the food. read more

Needless to say I will not be purchasing anything from this establishment again. Purchased several full trays of food beef and broccoli had the texture of shoe leather. When calling the store to speak to a manager he was not available nor did I ever receive a phone call back As requested. I was told there would be a credit for me well needless to say that didn't happen either. Upon calling to place an order to use my credit the person then told me I was supposed to bring the food back that I was unpleased with, asked to speak with a manager again that did not happen. Very poor customer service to say the least. read more

Whenever I'm in Lincroft I stop in for a quick lunch. I go straight to the back refrigerator section as that is where they have all their grab and go stuff. I usually get a salad with grilled chicken. They have all kinds of salads and if it doesn't have grilled chicken they will put it on for you. I usually also pick up some wraps for my family. They have a good selection of cold cuts and already prepared foods in the deli counter. Italian cookies and bread too. Small place and very popular especially around lunch time. No seating to eat. Prices are on the higher end for some stuff so buy things here you can't get cheaper in the supermarket. They do have excellent quality and everyone is really nice. read more

Just told by my landscaper not to eat here...He picked up a Chicken and pesto sandwich from their pre-made sandwich area and a few hours later became very sick...and his wife being a doctor, confirmed to him that it was food poisoning!!!! Said he was going to call the board of heath to let them know but he felt bad. I think its important that people know that certain places do not offer fresh foods. read more

There are very specific things that are good, but most of it is not so great. Cold cuts are very pricey - I think Whole Foods might be cheaper. Best Market is just about half the price. So avoid buying them here if you can. Cold prepared foods are very pricey and hit or miss. Pre-made salads are good, pre-made wraps are not - they wrap them so part of the parchment paper is inside the wrap, so you must undo the whole thing to take it out. If you wait online for a fresh sandwich - they're very good, although the line can be a little long and there's not much room to stand (to be fair, that's not their fault). However, best of all - their homemade ricotta reigns supreme. It's a little on the sweet side, but I love it that way. read more

The selection of food was great. I was very impressed with the freshness of the food. We had an Italian sub with the works and it was tasty and flavorful . We got a bunch of salads and meats and everything was top notch. I would definitely go back. We went back a second time and also bought the sauces, once again very good. We love this place! read more

Aleo's just catered a bridal shower for me. The girl who I ordered the food from on the phone was very professional, and answered all of my questions. Picking up the food was very easy and organized. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend the teriyaki chicken fingers. Everyone loved them. The chickpea salad was a huge hit as well. I will be ordering from them again in the future. read more

I really would like to give this place a good review, but it's actually just overpriced average food and service. Most of the boxed pasta I've bought there tasted freezer burned and terrible (and I've given numerous opportunities!) Half the time I ask for thin-sliced deli meats, they slice it EXTRA THICK! For $12/pound for regular Boars Head ham, least they can do is slice to request. Premium food prices not commensurate with quality of food. Pre-made food behind glass is hit or miss. On the plus side, bread is pretty good for the area. Order anything and see for yourself -- overall quality and service doesn't merit premium pricing. read more

Get the Chicken Aleo sandwich! Probably not good for your health, but this is a lightly floured chicken patty fried and then topped with a rich looking buttery sauce with Prosciutto. Their other Italian specialties look good, however have not purchased anything besides the Aleo and the Neo (the wait staff heard Aleo as Neo, but like it anyway). read more

Have been hiring Aleo's to cater our parties for a few years now. Food is delicious and usually not many leftovers. highly recommended! read more

The quality of the food is solid, on par with salumerias in Brooklyn and Staten Island. My main issue is with the speed of service, or lack thereof. You can stand there for five minutes before one of the guys behind the deli stops whatever it is they're doing and asks if you need help. Once they do help you, it's at a snails pace. Also, pricing is a drop higher than other Italian delis in the area. Update: Service has gotten worse and the prices have gotten higher, so I've stopped going all together. read more

This is defiantly my favorite place! They have everything here! The food here is out of this world I come here almost everyday for lunch and dinner. They have AMAZING pasta, meats, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and even desserts ( the best cannolis ). You have to try this place you won't regret it!! read more

I've read all the other reviews about this place and I must say I have the complete opposite opinion.. first off authentic Italian food does not come out of a box of ronzoni, it's made from fresh ingredients and pastas.. My experience with Aleo was as bad as it gets.. I recently tried them out for there catering, and it fell so short that I would have enjoyed Macaroni Grill more than this place... First off I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled pick up time of 1 o'clock. Waited at the counter for ten minutes before anybody even asked me if I was being helped.. Once helped I told them what I was there for and things just got worse from there, the young girl behind the counter( really the only reason they earned a star) was very friendly and helpful, came back and couldn't find my ticket with the order.. it eventually surface 15 minutes later without the owner even acknowledging the situation although he was standing there watching this occur.. so finally now 1:30 they begin to bring my food to the front... Oh and by the way I ordered a tray of chicken scallopine a tray of penne with smoked mozzarella and veggies and a 4 foot Italian sandwich 3 simple items 254.00 bucks.. Getting my money was the quickest thing they did!!!! I was always under the impression that HOT CATERED FOOD MEANT HOT!!! Not so much the case here, my food was brought out to me cold, so now I have a house full of hungry guest who had to wait an hour for me to heat the food up.. I also went next door to there pizza parlor and experienced the same poor quality and service.. My brother ordered a large plain pie 20 minutes before we got there and it still wasn't done, matter of fact the pie was never cooked because the minimum wage high school staff never put the order in.. So I settled for a pie that was previously cooked and sitting on the counter.. Great management!!! I would never eat here again nor would I ever tell anyone else to, POORLY managed and mediocre food at best(with a kitchen staff full of south Americans) If you are considering having this place cater your meals, re think it and go to the olive garden, AT LEAST THERE BOXED PASTA'S WILL BE SERVED HOT!!!! read more

Wowwwww. This deli has a gigantic selection of creative Italian food. I absolutely loved it. I came here with a friend and we got a POUND of fresh ravioli, marinated in seasonings and oil with all kinds of grilled peppers and sun-dried tomatoes. It was so incredibly flavorful that I can practically taste it when I close my eyes... a week later! I could tell that all of the ingredients were fresh and that the ravioli was homemade. The cheese filling was really creamy, too. One of the best parts was that we ordered a pound, plus two Pellegrinos, and the total was TEN BUCKS. If I were to go to Manganaro's in Hell's Kitchen or somewhere else in NYC, that same order would have easily been twenty dollars. Really worth it. And easy to pass by... so pay attention! read more

The best Italian deli in New Jersey!!

I'm officially done with this place. Overpriced and HORRIBLE customer service. They all stand with their backs turned and no one acknowledges you. The girls at the counter are even worse. There has never been a time where I wasn't waiting for at least 15 minutes. What a joke. read more

Amazing authentic Italian specialty market. Phenomenal prepared foods, sandwiches (though don't expect jersey style subs), gorgeous meats and sausages. read more

Great Italian food. My wife shops there religiously , their bread is fantastic, their sauces are fantastic and love the chicken pinwheels. They also catered my daughters b-day party, great services, their cook was great, brought all their own supplies and was cost effective. Keep up the good work! read more

I love Aleo's. I work at an office in the area and reps send us lunch from here all the time. Their salads are fantastic! I have also tried a few of their pastas as well. Always lunch sized so I wouldn't know about how their catering is. They are definitely worth a try if you are in the area. read more

Overpriced! Be prepared to spend $10.99 for a pound of American cheese and $11.99 for Boars Head ham. Some items are worth it, such as freshly prepared burger patties and sausage. I've also seen kids picking on cookies from the deli containers even though their parents were not purchasing them. The homemade ricotta is basically Polly-O with a little something extra. read more

Vinnie is the man! The food, selections and quality are off the charts. A lot of time,preparation and secret recipes make this the best Italian Deli in Monmouth County. Catering services done in a professional manner. When it comes to holiday and special occasion catering nobody does it better! You will not be disappointed ever! read more

Great ricotta, amazing broccoli (in-house, catered was different). Reliable catering, friendly staff, authentic Italian. Great baked ziti, crab cakes and chicken parmesan. (Only the pasta primavera wasn't a hit at the party they catered -- but I think it's the dish itself, not the execution). read more

Guy behind the counter displayed awful customer service and was extremely rude. On top of that, the sandwich I got was over 10 dollars!! And extremely unsatisfactory. Place is really over priced and over rated read more
