I've ordered from Plated by D a couple of times now. The first time was when they were located in…read moreLodi, and I still remember my initial walk into their store -- seeing the jalapeño jams, the different sizes of guava jams and all of the intricate accessories they carry immediately stood out. Everything felt thoughtfully curated, and you could tell a lot of care goes into their selections. Most recently, after their move to Hackensack, we ordered a charcuterie wreath, and it was absolutely stunning. The presentation was beautiful, but the quality and flavor truly made it memorable. And unfortunately, because of the chaos of event planning at home no picture was taken to capture it. The way it was devoured... we honestly have no words. Everything was gone within minutes, which says it all. From the visual detail to the taste, every element felt intentionally and beautifully put together. Highly recommend for gatherings, holidays, or anytime you want to impress guests with something that looks incredible and tastes just as good. Shortly after that, I think I went to an event and they actually use plated ideal also and I was so happy that they were well-versed with a local business they had an array of options tea sandwiches and bites that gave me ideas for my future next orders.

Almost too beautiful to eat....emphasis on almost because my friends and I literally devoured this board. Does the D stand for devoured? I was able to pick 4 meats and 4 cheeses. There was also a plethora of fruits, nuts, crackers, olives, etc. Literally something for everyone. The ordering and pickup process was extreme efficient and they were very friendly and responsive. The quality of the items was top notch and they were not stingy with the portions! I will definitely be ordering again for any future parties or events.

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.

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.

The timing was perfect, as it had just started to rain…read moreand we needed shelter- and Joe's is very roomy inside, with seating for those who wish to eat in. The interior of Joe's is awesome, with the walls stocked with a great supply of Italian cooking fare. As you journey towards the deli counter you're immediately greeted with an offer to sample the fresh, house made mozzarella. Captain obvious pro tip: SAMPLE THE MOZZ To put it plainly, this was the best mozzarella I have ever had in my life, and I am someone who enjoys his mozz. It had a delicious milky flavor, was extremely smooth, and had a wonderful salt profile that took it to another level. It was truly amazing. I could go on about it forever, but in the essence of time... Our intent was to order 2 chicken parm heroes, but the man at the counter who gave us the mozz sample recommended the 'Brontese' and after reading the ingredients (Prosciutto diParma, fresh mozz, wild arugula, Sicilian pistachio cream, evoo, cracked pepper) I went for it. Needless to say it may have been the best deli sandwich I've ever had. The way the pistachio combined with the prosciutto and mozzarella-but didn't overtake it, was amazing. So to go along with my Brontese, we ordered a Chicken Parm, and a Bronx Bee (crispy chicken cutlet, hot honey drizzle, fresh mozz, sweet soppressata, hot cherry peppers, baby arugula) and loved them all. Outrageous value as sandwich prices are extremely reasonable. Awesome experience at Joe's. The staff was incredible...helpful, kind, and went out of their way to talk food with us. The location and atmosphere were perfect. And the food....you have to try it to believe it.

I wish they put more roasted peppers to give more flavor. There are several cutlets in that sandwich. Maybe trade one cutlet with more red peppers to add sweetness to the sandwich. I didn't taste any vinaigrette as described on the menu. I also had Con Ed: prosciutto, eggplant, arugula, mozzarella , sun dried tomatoes. This sandwich is tastier than DSNY. I recommend this one. The guy who helped me in my opinion was a bit pushy. He gave me a sample of cheese. It was really good. It reminded me of L'amuse Gouda. It's sweet, savory, like butterscotch. He tried to sell me a big piece. I asked for a small piece. He cut me almost a pound. I recommend to be more specific about the weight.
