I spent over $20 for pastrami sandwich. The meat wasn't hardy as a proper deli would serve. It was delicious but not worth the price. Service was quick and not much to the place. It was in a food court at an airport. read more

Atrocious, paid over $25 for a combo with dressing and it had basically no meat (on a triple meat sandwich). It was also swimming in a sweet thousand island and had no pepper (red or -incini). Tasted gross but had to eat it. I went back and told them they made me the wrong sandwich at first, they said no it was right they were just out of half the ingredients.... Would've been nice to know ‍ only not giving a 1 because they gave me more meat when I went back and the workers weren't rude. Still though - horrible. Never come here read more

Food (3/5): Not the best sandwich and quite overpriced but decent quality. I got the pastrami and the special. Both were pretty good bread and meat combos. Service (3/5): Probably the best place in the bazaar because the other places take a long time for the food to come out and aren't that good either. This one is efficient and fast. Ambiance (3/5): Nice looking storefronts and ambiance until you realize they're all part of the same kitchen with low quality, overpriced food. However, this seems to be the only convenient, quick pick-up place near the gates so ends up being the only option. read more

Ordered a sandwich. The meat and cheese only covered about half the bread. Such a huge ripoff.

So disappointed when all I wanted was a good Italian sub once landing in NYC. They were very short/staffed, and did not follow the order directions. read more

Had the saddest pastrami on rye I've ever seen in my life. And it cost $19.99. The pastrami was tough and dry too. read more

REALLY great meatball sandwich and if you are truly lucky you will get to interact with Patricia N., a TRULY delightful human being!

Waiting for a flight in Newark gives you time to explore the airport and grab a meal. There is this fancy place in terminal C where businesses have electronic ordering using an app, self check out and the estrange crepe place that becomes a wasabi Asian restaurant in minutes. I ordered a Bagel in this place and despite the sign "order here" all you find "here" is a QR code to order online, once you do you, of course you are asked for a tip before you have even talked to a person, when they called My name was to tell me some of what I ordered they actually did not have... I had a decent Bagel nevertheless but within few minutes around 10:25 am they started telling everyone breakfast was over... they were getting ready for lunch but the late comers did not have a chance to get anything even if it was still in display... well, the place is OK but the service and the experience was not... I guess they do not deserve more than 2 stars... may be only one but I am usually nice! The owners if there such a thing should te-think their business model...‍ read more

Casciano Italian Specialties - Order here? - Italian Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Relatively reasonably priced Newark airport food. You order on the screen and then an old lady grumpily makes your food at her pace. We got the Italian Sandwich which was disappointing because the roll was not fresh and there was something spicy that was not in any of the ingredients. Chicken salad was fresh, tasty, but a bit dry. read more

Customers can scan a QR code and place an order from their mobile device, but the restaurant will close, unannounced, between services (e.g. breakfast to lunch transition), and will not/cannot honor the online order. Once this happens, airport passengers who have flights to catch, must now visit a website that one of the restaurant employees must give them in order to request a refund for an item they shouldn't have been allowed to order in the first place. Take your money elsewhere. read more

I've never been to an airport like this where every restaurant averages 2 stars. Food: I ordered had the combo sandwich at this deli place. The meat was not bad but the bread was dry and not good. 2/5 stars. Checkout process: - Order on iPad to get ticket - checkout toward the front using ticket. TBH this is a slow process since it's confusing to people's Tip: If you're planning of flying Out of terminal 3 (United) from. Newark International Airport, eat before coming here. read more

So there is one person making sandwiches here so if you are in a rush - not the place to go. Can't comment on anything else. It takes way longer to order via the stupid online system than just talking to a human. If you are going to force us to use the online system, at least have decent free WiFi. read more

Pastrami sandwich was same size as small grocery store loaf of bread, and had 3 thin slices of meat, all for $16.50. You can make the exact same thing at home using ingredients from any supermarket. Go to the noodle place across the food court; portions were massive for only four dollars more than this. read more

My family and I were stuck at the Newark Airport for a while, and we decided to grab something to eat. Man I wish I head read the reviews before ordering. First, there's no cashier to take your order-it's all done by scanning the barcode and ordering by your phone.. 2nd, this food is just gross. The pasta salad cheese taste super old. And you can get a better sandwich at 7/11 for far less than what I paid. Im sure my stomach will be paying for this later . You're better off getting a bagel from Starbucks. A complete waste of money - gone to the trash read more

Took way too long for a $20 sandwich that tastes like trash. Will not be back ever- I'd rather not eat.

Yikes. I knew I should have steered clear of Casciano's when I saw its 1.5-star rating on the Yelp app. Unfortunately, based on my appetite at the time, it looked like the most appealing restaurant option inside Terminal C (near Gates C70-99) at Newark Liberty International Airport. And of course, being in New Jersey, how could one go wrong with an Italian specialties restaurant? Very wrong, apparently. We were looking for something to eat for lunch and I was drawn to Casciano's sandwich menu. It appeared they had some good stuff when it came to meats (e.g. prosciutto, Genoa salami, meatballs, mortadella, soppressata, capicola), cheeses (e.g. fresh mozzarella, provolone), and breads (e.g. semolina hero, sesame roll, potato bread). There were over a dozen different sandwiches priced at $10.00 to $11.50 each. We also had the option to build our own sandwich. Ordering was done via touchscreen. We ordered one Godfather ($11, roast beef, buffalo mozzarella, tomato, garlic butter gravy, sesame hero) and one Italian ($11, prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, marinated eggplant, preserved tomato, pesto, sesame hero). BLECH. Despite being made to order, both sandwiches were very cold, hard, dense, salty, and simply not very good. From bread to meat, the only ingredient I thought was any good was the buffalo mozzarella and even then, it wasn't great. I don't know what was up with the ingredients. Everything tasted old, like leftovers that had been stored in a fridge past their expiration date. I'm not picky when it comes to eating and I'm actually pretty tolerant of mediocre to sub-par food. These sandwiches were worse than that. My girlfriend took one, two bites at most, of her Italian and immediately set it down and went back to the food court in search of something else. I, not wanting to waste food, tried to eat her sandwich and realized why she opted to trash it instead. It was awful. As a fan of eggplant, I found the eggplant in the Italian to be ice cold and borderline repulsive. I wasn't able to finish either sandwich notwithstanding my attempts to force myself to. Service was fine. There was a nice man assisting folks with the touchscreen ordering devices. We waited about 10-12 minutes for our order. There was a line and only two people working behind the counter preparing sandwiches. Payment was handled at self-checkout kiosks. If you're looking for food in this part of the airport, you're probably better off going to the burger joint, pizza joint, or the Vietnamese sandwich shop (Vo Banh Mi) nearby. read more

Great storefront in the new Newark Airport United terminal, with high tech displays to enter orders, good menu board, and great pastry section. I ordered The Belt breakfast sandwich on toasted whole grain bread, which is a bacon, tomato, lettuce, and fried egg sandwich. I'm not sure if this can be ordered with mayo, but it's too dry, and if you're a calorie counter, this would work well for you. I am not watching calories as much as I want to truly enjoy what I eat, and this was too dry and the bacon was bacon but somewhat tasteless. The fried egg and sandwich overall needed a lot of salt and pepper seasoning. The coffee is a good full bodied italian roast. I will likely return to try something else, as they do have a lot of interesting items on their menu, both for breakfast and for lunch. read more

I am learning that it can be challenging finding restauraunts in the New Jersey Intl Airport that will leave you feeling like you got good quality food at a reasonable price. Remember to use Yelp to check places before trying them there. Thanks to flight cancellations and delays I got to try Casciano for an unexpected airport dinner. I ordered the Itallian Sausage Sandwhich, mainly because the guys behind the counter said they were out of ingredients for all but two of the sandwiches on the menu. It costed $12.00 and was about 8-10 inches long. The role was soft and both the sausage and veggies were pretty good. I was satisfied with the food overall. Unfortunately the service was not very good. The staff seemed to have an attitude, likley because of having to tell customers over and over again what they cannot order due to being out of ingredients and where they had to go pay for their food. They have this weird system where you order on a tablet at their counter which prints out a ticket but then you have to take that ticket to a self checkout counter at a different location, scan it, then pay, then come back to their counter to pick up your food. Also, the wait time was a bit long. Also, there is no place to sit around this place. After getting your food you have to go search for a table with open seats around the gate terminals. If their service and process for ordering and paying were a little better I would give this place a 4 but right now it is just a 3 in my opinion. read more

Honestly not a terrible option in Newark airport for the money. Everything in the airport is overpriced but at least this spot you get a decent amount of food. The Subways quite large, and could be split with two people if you paired it with a side of something. There's so many different options in the airport that this Italian sandwich shop hit the spot with me. Easy to travel with and to eat in tight seats given there's no area to dine in anymore in this terminal. read more

The husband and I shared a chicken parm sandwich from here...it was.....ok. The sandwich seemed a little dry and it was a bit pricy for what we got. I know it's airport food, but I still wished it were a little better. Maybe try elsewhere? read more

I wish zero stars was an option. Literally got NPC's working here. All the lady could say was "we're not ready for lunch" to every single question I asked. Cherry on top was they proceeded to in fact be ready for lunch but I was unable to order in time for my flight. read more

In the nice looking food hall in the United terminal, but after 30 minutes (!!) I received a text saying my sandwich was ready, so I went to the counter, and... it was not ready. The sole worker (poor guy, it's hard) began making my sandwich, but I told him to stop, as I had a flight to catch. The nice thing is you can abandon your order because you don't pay til it's in your hand. Downside of this is you get on your flight hungry. This restaurant could improve by: 1) Putting an "estimated wait" widget on the ordering iPads, so you can make an informed decision; 2) Having the system to throttle/refuse orders when wait times are too long--or asking whether you can wait 40minutes. I felt bad for the line worker, but also, he wasn't a speedy guy. read more

Like most other airport establishments, this is over-priced and the food looks better than it tastes. Once I ordered my food and started eating, I was wishing I had picked something else or ordered fast-food. I thought it was difficult to screw up pizza, but I got a calzone with mushroom, spinach, and peppers, and maybe it was my fault that I tried to go with a "healthier" option that didn't have cheese instead of picking a greasy piece of pizza. This was like what I imagine cardboard tasting like - dry and flavorless. Even dumping on the marinara sauce didn't really help. I got a salad too, which was just mixed greens dumped in a bowl, plus your choice of tortellini salad or some meat / mozzarella salad. Over-priced? Yes. Edible? Barely. I won't be coming back here again. Your results may vary, but I'll be checking out the rest of the mediocre options in Terminal C next time. read more

If you want to experience New York authentic rudeness then this is the place for you. Service is slow and unpleasant. Wait staff yelling at clients telling us we didn't order from the right kiosk. Couldn't find my order. Then said it was after others that had ordered after me. No masks worn while yelling over the baked breads to be used. Sandwich was dismal lacking any originality or content of quality meat. Price is ridiculous for what you get. When my order was finally prepared it was presented by tossing it on the counter and saying there's your sandwich. Like I said. Authentic NY rudeness. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

Well now, who knew you'd find an oasis of kind of good food options at Newark International Airport? I think they call it a Bazaar or Marketplace or something like that but you'll find at least a half dozen regionally-themed counters from Japanese to Italian. Casciano's is the Italian counter. You order at an iPad and wait for your number to be called. But you have to pay first before the food it made, don't think you have the other option. No dining and dashing here folks. I've eaten here a few times along my travels. It's quick and easy. Can't really complain. I understand the economics of running a restaurant in an airport. The markups are going to be huge because the lease is exorbitant. I mean you have a captive audience here. Stick to the sandwiches at Casciano's. Maybe get a side salad from cold case and a bag of chips from anywhere in the marketplace. And call it a day... read more

Just don't come here. Employees have a bad attitude and are clearly trying to finish their shift and go home. My sandwich was absolutely drenched in olive oil (it was supposed to be pesto), and was the absolute greasiest sandwich I've ever eaten. I HATE wasting food, but even I could not finish the sandwich. If you want something quick, the pizza across the markethall looked decent. Otherwise, go sit down at a different restaurant if you want a sandwich. read more

This place can't get out of its own way! It has tons of workers, none of which are doing anything. It has new iPads to order from; none of which seem to work worth a darn. This is my second time trying to get a bagel from this place and it takes more than 10mins to do so. It is comical and slightly entertaining to watch the minions behind the counter ask what I ordered from their iPad over and over again and the proceed to bump into each other as they frolic about looking for something that I'm not sure has anything to do with a bagel.... So I guess there's that. read more

I should have chosen to die of starvation instead. It would have been less painful than the heartburn that this place left me with. I ordered the "Jackson" Which translated equals 3 slices of unremarkable white bread a few slices of limp bacon, cold, soggy, tomato slices and American cheese. $10.50 for that? ! Really? I mean I understand that it's airport food but this is just awful! read more

Had to wait 20 minutes for a $10 chicken parm sandwich that lacked taste except for the char from being incinerated in the convection oven. Lady at the cash register was happy and polite. The other three persons behind the counter making the food were completely disinterested in their tasks and moved so slow I had to check and see if I had taken the wrong meds this morning. Too bad you can't give less than one star because that's what they deserve. read more

The guy working was very nice, but there was a long line of people and each item ordered is made individually. This takes a LONG TIME. The meatball sandwich wasn't bad but it took nearly 20 minutes to get and that's a ridiculous amount of time in an airport. How about hire another worker??? read more

Meh, ok, for airport food. Small portions and overpriced but not horribly bad. The girl at the cashier needs some customer service training. No acknowledgement of my presence and hardly a thank you. read more

You're going to have very few choices in the Houston Airport for snacking, but keep on walking past this one. IPad ordering is the norm throughout the airport, but descriptions of the food and pricing are not readily available. Olives and pasta were mushy, sandwiches were overdressed, and blah. I'd have had better luck at McDonald's. read more

It's in an airport so 1.5/5 average is probably more like a 2.5 or something if it was somewhere else. It's better than most of the other places in here but that isn't saying much. Had a roast beef sandwich from here ages ago while waiting for a plane read more

Employee that made the food was extremely rude. Won't answer questions. She made our sandwich incorrectly and when I asked her to redo it, she told me to pay for a sandwich somewhere else. She eventually did remake the sandwich, but made sure I waited a long time. read more

Facing a long delay I was looking forward to finding some sort of filling meal to get me through the next couple hours. Having a gluten allergy makes things challenging when it comes to airport eating. I found this restaurant on Yelp after searching for gluten free and seeing someone else's review that said they have gluten free bread on the menu but never have it available made me skeptical but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. To my surprise they had it today! I went to the ipad to place the order and I agree with a lot of the reviews on here that it almost makes it more difficult if you have questions, etc as there was no one around or who was not rushed. The line behind really adds to the pressure so be sure to scope out what you want from the menu board before stepping forward. The true downfall of the ipad is that to get gluten free bread on a sandwich you have to build your own custom sandwich. I spotted a sandwich on the board I could have too but was unable to substitute the bread through the limited user interface. So I built my own to try and match the one on the board and ala cart it ended up being an extra $10-12 to try and match one off the board. Double the price of the one on the board. So I backed it down and got a turkey, bacon, and avocado on gluten free bread. The sandwich was as good as could be expected. The bread was not the best I've had nor the worst. The bacon was subpar and cold. Turkey was good. Avocado seemed fresh. Overall, if you are looking for gluten free in a pinch that's not a bag of chips and a cliff bar in Newark Airport give it a shot to see if they have it in stock. read more
