    No joke authentic Italian old school spot. No free samples so don't try the puppy dog eyes! They have sandwiches, bread, meats, and it's of other items from Italy!! Service is manageable and tolerable but just imagine the soup guy and tune down the volume Also come early if you have a shopping list - stuff goes by fast

    Clemente way sandwich

    Tried the new Clemente Way Sandwich today and it didn't disappoint. From the bread to the meats, it was delicious. Definitely highly recommended!! Pro move- order online and it'll be ready when you arrive.

    Amazing fresh sandwiches!!

    What a phenomenal spot!! Great Italian groceries, a wide variety of hot and cold food, as well as freshly made sandwiches/wraps. Since it was my first visit, I got a complimentary chunk of fresh mozzarella.... amazing. We split the Clemente special and Donato sandwiches. We also tried 2 sides, the avocado and tomato salad and the mozzarella, arugula and tomato salad. Everything was amazing as well as the service. Definitely a great place!!

    Hands down the best bakery in NJ . I understand why it is always packed !!!! Quality bread ,sandwiches , hot food , pizza , desserts & crew . The owners make everyone feel like family & it is a given that they do everything with love ! Must go visit !

    Bad old chicken

    I ordered a chicken cutlet broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella hero the chicken cutlet is old, and the meat was shiny and brown and to top it off they didn't even heat up the sandwich cutlets were cold broccoli rabe was cold bread was rock hard this sandwich was disgusting. they charged 18 dollars for this sandwich I really hope I don't get sick from the portion I ate. I very upset and i will have them reported. Don't eat here there selling old food because their prices are high and no one is buying. Be careful and look at your sandwich if you decide to eat here, I'M DISGUSTED HOW CAN YOU SELL ANYTHING LIKE THIS TO PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTS YOUR BUSINESS. IF I CAN GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD.

    Clemente Special Hero
    Colette F.

    Where is the meat? We ordered the Clemente special aka the Italian hero. The bread was hard and barely had any meat. The mozzarella was barely on the sandwich. We ordered oil and vinegar they forgot to put it on! How do you forget the oil and vinegar!!! The prices are ridiculous for getting a brick of bread and no meat. I used to order from them. It seems could be under new management. I will not be ordering from them again! Sad because it used to be a place to get a good hero and used to recommend the business.

When I was in there, I saw the stuffed bread. After a bit of a conversation about what was in them I opted to get two of them one with broccoli Rabe And one with mixed vegetable vegetables. Boy were we both unhappy with what we got. My boyfriend's father found his braciole and sauce to be so salty it was inedible. He likes food and he is rarely disappointed in an Italian meal. But he said it was so bad that he couldn't even eat it. He ended up throwing it away. I was equally disappointed. Maybe more so. There was no way that vegetable roll was made that day let alone any sooner than two days before. It was so stale. It was hard as a rock. And I hadn't even heated it up. I cut into it right after I brought it home. It also tasted stale. I ended up throwing it away too. Broccoli Rabe roll was a tad better. It wasn't hard as a rock. But it wasn't fresh either. It tasted meh. The only thing I was happy with are the prepackaged taralli. They were imported and were lovely. Go there for the prepackaged imported food products. Don't waste your money on the dicey homemade food experience.

It was really really great one of the best sandwiches…read moreI've ever had.. i can tell you this as a chef for over 30 years if you love corn beef, pastrami, or brisket this is a place for you. No reason to go to nyc this is the jersey spot for corn, beef, pastrami, brisket, all hands down it's a great place a lot of people would compare it to Kats in New york. My advice is order on the phone to take out 30 min ahead. This place is busy. Once the word gets around on how great the food is it will be just a long to wait like Kats in nyc So go there now Service is as great as it can be because its busy now. I dont know whats going to happen when word of mouth hits because this place is really that great If you like my reviews add me as your friend

    Pastrami Grill Bistro (Located in the Mini-Plaza)…read more83 River Dr. Garfield, NJ 07026 Latkes Pastrami on Rye Located in the local neighborhood strip mall in Garfield, New Jersey is an independently owned Jewish-style deli. Latkes: The potato pancakes included sour cream and applesauce. They were crispy and golden brown on the outside while warm and tender on the inside. This started was excellent and I enjoyed it down to the last bite. Pastrami on Rye: One of the unique aspects about this sandwich was being able to watch the chef prepare the main course right in front of you while waiting in line. This signature sandwich is stacked between two slices of rye bread and piled high & deep with pastrami and a smear of mustard. It has a flawless appearance and looks very appetizing. Unfortunately, I cannot say my taste buds agreed with my vision. I was unable to acquire a taste for this style of meat. The combined taste of the yellow mustard, untoasted bread, and meat was not satisfying. I gave it another chance by attempting to finish the leftovers the following day, but couldn't clear this plate. However, I can only speak for myself, as this is a top seller menu item and I witnessed other patrons eating it. Regardless of my dining experience, I can virtually guarantee this bistro has other menu items I will enjoy because the entire dining area was packed. There was a long line of customers that extended out the door. If I return, I will order an alternative lunch. #pastramigrillbistro #pastramionrye #garfieldnj

Nestled in an old world-like, half Sicilian half Albanian neighborhood, right across from the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Montevergine, the entire experience took us pleasantly back in time ... salumeria along the wall, aged provolone hanging from rope, and just about every handmade delicacy you could imagine.....and some new ones we hadn't seen before... Then there's .... the bread..... the bread.... Nowhere in America is there bread like this. This is the real deal (NOT the chain supermarkets--you know who you are) that offer supposedly "Italian" or "French" bread with marshmallow softness attributed to all the preservatives and polysorbate 80. No Signore, this bread contains all the goodness of that crispy crunchy exterior with pure angelic cloud interior that melts in your mouth! Bread this good can be eaten as dessert... (if there aren't any cannolis around).... Yeah they got those here too... We couldn't decide, and we were running late so we ended up grabbing a loaf of semolina bread just in from the oven and a container of Sicilian olives (with pits! Don't waste my time with pitted olives that taste like salted cardboard). Could say more but why? Veni e guarda (look and see for yourself)... Highly recommended. We'll be back! Ce' vediamo dopo.

    I like this place a lot, it's called, "Cosmo's Salumeria" in Hackensack, NJ and I've been wanting…read moreto try this place for at least a year because it was ranked in the top 25 by The Star Ledger. This day I said, "Today is the day and I'm getting a freaking sandwich from this joint.", so I rode my road bike here and it was a good 25 minute bike ride to get there. But when I finally got there it was surprisingly closed. I was confused because Yelp says they open at 8am and here I was there at 8:30 am and closed. I was super disappointed and was like ok today isn't the day I'm getting this sandwich but hey at least I got a nice workout getting here and back. Just when I was about to leave something told me to call and lo and behold Cosmo answered. He said they open at 9am and that he was making fresh mozzarella before they opened for the day. I told him on Yelp it says your open at 8 am and he said Yelp makes up their own hours but for me to wait and he'll make me the sandwich and it should be ready in 10 minutes. Awesome and he did do the selection #1 sandwich in 10 min and all before he was officially opened for me consisting of sopp, capp, salami, ham, fresh mozz, sharp provolone, sweet peppers and LTO. That was awesome customer service to me. So as I went inside to pay, he told me $10. In my mind,"I'm like seriously for this heavy sandwich I thought it would be at least $12. What a great deal" I thought. I paid and thanked him and rode my bike home burning off some calories before putting them back with this sandwich . It is a pretty good sandwich and for the price you would pay at a crappy Subway place. I can see why this place is popular and will be back for more sandwiches. Highly recommend as a good value sub place for the quality of ingredients you get at a great price. You're welcome and remember be nice to each other.

Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 Choripan Special: Half Sausage Sandwich Homemade Chips This special deal includes a half sausage sandwich with freshly cut french fries (the owner refers to this side as "chips"). This sausage sandwich is a simple sandwich consisting of protein, bread, and a signature sauce. While this may seem dull, it's actually quite tasty. The Argentinian sausage was served on a soft seeded roll. The chimichurri spread was freshly made in house and undoubtedly the best feature of the sandwich. The fries were hot, crispy and seasoned perfectly. A side of ketchup was included, but they were so flavorful they could have been eaten without any dipping sauces. There is a decent amount of seating in the dining area. Because the ship is located inside a strip mall, there are multiple parking spaces behind the stores. Carlos was very attentive and an outstanding server. He welcomed me into the restaurant and made me feel right at home. #nickssandwichshop #saddlebrooknj #choripanspecial

The steak was very tender, juicy and the chimi sauce enhanced the flavor. Bread was fresh and toasted. Also got to try the choriopan special ($11.95) which is a sausage with chimichurri sandwich was also solid. I liked the skirt steak sandwich the best, it's not cheap but the ingredients are high quality so it's worth it as a treat.
