Swung by to pick up sandwiches for a picnic at NYBG. No wait at 11:30 AM on Wednesday. I got the casa on ciabatta (prosciutto, mozzarella, sun dried peppers, balsamic glaze), cheaper if you pay with cash. It was an amazing sandwich--the mozzarella was so fresh and all the flavors melded well together. Great crunch of the ciabatta crust and the bread was fluffy inside. Portion size was also great for a $12 sandwich. Highly highly recommend. The shop has a lot of Italian imported goods and it was fun to look at the variety of things too. read more

First stop on my recent Arthur Ave. food tour was Casa Della Mozzarella, and boy oh boy....what a way to start the day. From the moment we walked in, it was all that I wanted- reminiscent of the Italian shops and delis my parents would take me to when I was a kid. The ambiance told me right away that the sandwich I sought (the 'Casa') was going to be good....as did the two guys in line ahead of me, one who went so far as to say it would be life changing. Service was great- super helpful and patient as we perused the counter. Wanting to be thorough () we ordered two Casa's....one on Ciabatta, and one on a hero. First off....both bread vehicles were incredible. The hero was crunchy on the outside, perfectly soft on the inside, while the ciabatta was perfectly thin (allowing you to fully enjoy all of the fresh, delicious ingredients), with a golden crust. Just perfect. Oh yeah- the ingredients.... The Casa is filled with perfectly sliced prosciutto, house made mozzarella, sun dried peppers, and balsamic glaze. The balsamic tied everything together beautifully and was a wonderful touch to the sandwich, while the mozz....well...I'll say this... If you ask 10 people on Arthur Ave who makes the best Mozzarella around, and a good number of people are going to tell you it's Casa Della. And I'm here to tell you that their Mozzarella is the truth. It's delicious, creamy, flavorful...it's the kind of stuff that will have you standing in front of the establishment, Casa in hand (and mouth) without a care in the world, or whether or not people are staring at you while you scarf or down. It's that good. Also- prices are extremely reasonable, and you receive a ton of value for your dollar. Casa Della Mozzarella is not just the Casa. They are a fully loaded market and deli, loaded with everything you need, whether for a quick lunch on the go, or to supply dinner or your fridge at home. Definitely a can't miss, must check out spot. read more

Incredible fresh mozzarella. It has some of the water. I can eat it like that as snacks. I got casa sandwich on a roll. You can have it on ciabatta. Fresh mozzarella with prosciutto and I believe Sun dried tomato. Very good. I have been visiting Bronx Little Italy for a couple of times but always saw a long line that made me hesitant to go in. This time I came early around 8:30 Am. I was the third person in line. The store is super small especially at the ordering area. There's only small space for one person to stand so it's very difficult to exit while there are people behind you. I highly recommend coming here early before the crowd. read more

I came here to try their iconic sandwiches, and I am glad I gave it a go! When we got there, there was already a line outside. However, it was probably about 20-30 minutes before we took our order, so service is definitely fast! Inside is super small, but there are lots of Italian goods around to see. There are also blocks/rounds of cheese you can purchase too. We got The Casa, and ate it outside. Service was so kind and we even got to see them make mozzarella in the back! I don't think this sandwich was my favorite unfortunately. The bread had a funky smell(?) to it, and I feel like it fell a little flat on flavors and textures. Regardless, I am glad I tried and met the incredible team! read more

I would never say no to an Italian sandwich!! That's why I subwayed an hour up to the Bronx just to try Beli's top 10 sandwiches in the country. I got the Burrata on ciabatta, and inside it has fresh burrata, arugula, sun dried tomatos, balsamic glaze, and prosciutto. It tasted good but it wasn't mind-blowing good. I wouldn't have known this was ranked highly unless you told me so. The cheese was super fresh though. I just found the tomatoes to be overpowering in flavor and ended up throwing out the top bun of the ciabatta because it was just too bready. I respect the sheer quality of the ingredients. good service in the shop. Authentic in what they do. Glad I tried it but will unlikely go again. read more

I was in Little Italy, and it's hard not to stop for some fresh mozzarella. Pro tip, bring cash!! +3% fee for credit card. Food & Service: 5/5 There's no sit-down service here, but they're incredibly fast. I ordered a hero and a large order of mozzarella to go, and it took less than 20 minutes. Everything was prepared right in front of me, which made the experience even better. Ambiance: 5/5 The space is definitely tight -- you'll have to go single file to get in and out -- but it's homey in the best way. Watching them make your sandwich and fresh mozzarella in real time adds to the charm. Food Highlights: I got the Italian combo, which came with a thick slice of fresh mozzarella that was practically dripping, paired with generous portions of deli meats. Add in a perfectly crunchy hero roll, and it was the perfect lunch. Overall: A classic Little Italy stop. Simple, fresh, and worth every bite. read more

Do you ever have experiences that throw you into an existential crisis? That is exactly what happened when I had a bite of "The Casa" sandwich. Trust me when I say this is the best deli sandwich I've had in my entire life. Where had I been for 32 years? And why wasn't it on Arthur Ave having a few of these a month? I am still asking myself so many questions. Anyway, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, sundried tomatoes (I subbed the peppers), and balsamic vinegar on a hero. That's all there was to it. And what a glorious combo it was! I intended to get The Casa on ciabatta for a more sensible sized sandwich, but the food gods were looking out for me. Turns out CDM had ran out by the time I got there (Friday, after 4p) so I had no choice but to get the hero. When I saw how thick they had piled on the goods, I thought there was no chance I was going to finish the whole thing. I even allowed myself to get excited for leftovers, lol. I should have known better because I definitely ate the whole thing and am not sure I would have wanted to share. So hot tip...just get your own!! I think it was extra good because I couldn't eat it for an hour after I bought it and everything was marinating in that balsamic deliciousness. There is no place to eat inside as the store is very narrow. If you have no self control and need to dig in immediately, there is a nearby park. The sandwich is also packed nicely and can lend itself to a walk and eat situation but honestly The Casa deserves your full and undivided attention. It's just soooo good. Enjoy! read more

Very sad to give this rating as I'm always keen to promote and praise small businesses. I'm as anti-corporation as it gets, and love to give mom and pop establishments preferential treatment with my wallet. However, the cashier that helped us was particularly rude and curt, rushing us every 5 seconds to place an order. Even though we stressed that it was our first time coming in from Brooklyn with family with France/Italy, the cashier was unnecessarily rude and insistent on pushing us out. We also base our taste buds on frequenting the hometown of my partner in Italy (Lazio/Cassino), where the region is the most famous for its fresh, affordable buffalo mozzarella. We're quick by nature to order in general and used to NYC fast paced living for the past 5-10 years of living here - we really just wanted 5 minutes to glance at all the cheeses before placing an order. We ended up dropping almost $100 here for super rude service, some mozzarella, imported Italian cheeses, and questionable burrata. Upon turning the corner, we were treated with much nicer hospitality at the other shops, such as Vincent's and Teitel's. Owners, please train your staff to deliver optimal and quality customer service...this will ensure repeat business and referrals... read more

Visited here on a rainy Sunday and even with bad weather, this place always has a line! It's a very tight space with no seating, so be aware of that going in. They offer a variety of sandwiches, meats, cheeses, and also packaged items. The pricing is also extremely reasonable for the portion size of what you get. We ordered the Casa and the Positano. Unfortunately we were given the Pistachio instead of the Positano, but it was still good! As a heads up, their pistachio oil is more of a cream than a light oil. We ordered a medium sized mozzarella to take home and it was so fresh. Excited to come back! read more

"My Italian college professor raved about this place back in 2011, and 14 years later, I finally made the trek out here! I was visiting the Botanical Gardens and noticed the shop was nearby. The store is quite small and a bit cramped... you pull a number and wait outside until it's your turn. They use a speaker system to call you in. We ordered the Calabrese and were both in love. It was a decadent sandwich, unlike anything we've had before. The shop also carries a wide array of Italian groceries: snacks, pastas, sauces, and more. If you're a fan of Italian products, go there immediately read more

I stood in a 20 minute line, on a 90 degree day, in July, to see what all the hype was about. I purchased a small container of salt water mozzarella balls. I asked for two forks, and my boyfriend and I devoured them on the street outside the shop. It was great!!!! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. A fantastic place to stop and taste the neighborhood. read more

OMG this place I have been going to since I was a little girl. They are some of the nicest people and their food no matter what you get is so fresh is amazes you. The line wraps around the corner almost everyday but especially the weekends and holidays so you must order before so you can walk right in. It's a tiny store but even the sandwiches are out of this world. If you live in tri state area And you don't know about this place what are you really doing. I must go here at least once a month or I send family there to get me what I need. They are making the mozzarella In the back so when you go to pay you see them making the cheese. read more

The shop is so quaint and has the old Italian feel. I got the vegetariano with Basalmic. It was a good size and loaded with soft Mozarella. The vegetables and eggplant had great flavor and the parts that had Basalmic were perfect. I would have liked the bread toasted and more Basalmic so next time I'll ask for that. Service was great and friendly. read more

Small shop but really good sandwiches. Got the casa, but asked to add some arugula to give it some color and bitterness, on a cibbatta for about 11$. Prosciutto, mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, were fresh and it had just the right amout of meat and cheese ratio. Small place, maybe fit max 4 people in there. Selling variety of imported Italian cheese, sauce, pasta and meats. Metered street parking or subways a few blocks down. read more

"If you know you know" kind of an institution! The deli is very tight with a line that will go by quickly but know what you want - there's a hanging menu of their different specialty sandwiches and you can also see their meats, cheese, olives, antipasti, and an array of Italian gourmet treats (like ladyfingers, pastas, various jars of pates, truffle everything). We got The Burrata which was everything we wanted in a sandwich - homemade creamy burrata that wasn't too watery, deliciously soft and salty prosciutto, thin layer of fresh arugula, balsamic glaze all tucked into ciabatta (you can also get a hero for a little less - go spend the extra $3 to get the ciabatta). read more

Holy. Hell. I'm sitting in my car trying to get my mind around what I just ate. It's just mozzarella cheese, something that I grew up with my entire life?? Add Sun dried peppers. Prosciutto. Balsamic vinegar. There is no magical combination, every ingredient has been on my table for decades. I walk in before noon. The deli is small but what they're offering is huge, cheeses, meats and sandwiches. I walk to the back and ordered "The Burrata" on freshly made Ciabatta bread. Simple right? I grab a Manhattan Soda as well and head out the door. If you think you're going to sit, use the WiFi and lounge all day, guess again. This spot is small, order and GTFO. I grab my sammy in a very nice Casa Della Mozzarella Italian Deli bag and head back to my car. I open the wrapping and take a bite. The Sun Dried Peppers are mixing with the Burrata and its creating an Italian sandwich worthy of representing The Bronx. The mozzarella was creamy and oh so dreamy. Pure Perfection. Boogie. Boogie down baby.. read more

I have been going to Casa Della Mozzarella for years . Their food is fantastic and so are the people who serve the customers! That's why there are often lines outside the store.

An Italian grocery store and deli with lots of authentic ingredients. The service was great. We got the burrata sandwich which was great because they packed it with great stuff. The bread was a little tough and hard to eat. One sandwich is honestly enough for 2, you get tired of the taste quickly. The sun dried peppers were a little overpowering so there could've been fewer in the sandwich. Overall, great high quality ingredients but not as amazing it was hyped up to be. read more

I stopped by the deli to try the Bronx Tale, and it didn't disappoint. One thing to note about this location is that there are no seating indoors or outdoors..so plan accordingly. I ordered the Bronx Tale, which came with sun-dried tomatoes, roast beef, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze on a hero roll. The sandwich was pretty big for around $14, making it a great value. The best part was definitely the flavor of the sandwich! Everything tasted so fresh & delicious! I don't usually go for sandwiches, but this spot is a must-try. It's definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had! read more

I wonder if, in the history of the world, this much deliciousness has ever been packed into such a narrow space. This joint has everything you'd ever want from an Italian specialty shop. It's one of Arthur Ave's finest, and they've got all the sausages, cured meats, cheeses, vinegars, artichokes, pasta, grains, and more. And they've got a lineup of guys behind the counter who want to give you all the tasty treats. Don't you dare leave without at least two things: 1. The best mozzarella you can find on this side of the Atlantic (what I was told, and I'm in no place to argue). 2. Sun-dried peppers. I don't know why sun-dried tomatoes have become a staple everywhere, when sun-dried peppers are the FUCKING TRUTH. They are good on all the things (including the Johnny Handsome sandwich). Speaking of, this is also an excellent stop for sandwiches to bring to the Bronx Zoo, if you've blinked and suddenly entertaining children is more important than eating all the good food. (This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife. How did I get here?) But with Casa Della Mozzarella, you can do both. read more

Casa Della Mozzarella is part of my biweekly "to do" list. Some of my favorites include the fresh mozzarella, smoke mozzarella, and sun dried tomatoes to name a few.

This place fully deserves a rare 5 Star rating from us. The food was unbelievable - maybe the best sandwiches that we've ever had. "The Casa" on ciabatta was *chef's kiss* and "The Burrata" is to die for. As well, the prosciutto is literally melt in your mouth, and the mozz is freshly made constantly throughout the day and will make you rethink your perception of cheese. No seats, small shop, and a (quick moving) line are no problem when you have food like this. Eat your sandwich on the sidewalk like we did...this is New York and we don't have time for sitting. Oh, and don't bother with Mike's or Joe's. For real. I feel like I wasted a lot of time with those far inferior places. From now on I'm going to Casa Della and then to Madonia for cannoli. Life is too short for anything but the best. read more
