Carlo's is a family owned and operated grocery store and sandwich shop where providing quality, value and service are a family tradition that has been passed down through the generations. At this friendly neighborhood sandwich shop located at the corner of 52nd St and 20th Avenue (a few blocks from FDR High School), they only use the freshest ingredients including hero rolls that are baked with unbleached flour with no bromate added and top quality meats and vegetables. They are best known for their chicken and eggplant parm hero's but their other sandwiches are equally impressive in both size and taste. I recommend visiting soon because once they are discovered outside of the neighborhood, they will be packed! Note that are only open weekdays and are cash only (they have an ATM machine in the store)

Love a good deli that has a food stand with a sandwich and fast eats menu. Very affordable and…read moreeverything was melty goodness fantasticness. The only tough things to consider while ordering from here was the staff had a hard time understanding orders between my friend and I. The sandwiches from here does take a while to come out as they're making it from scratch - so be prepared for a semi long wait. We both ordered different items - a Philly cheesesteak and a chicken cutlet sandwich with a side of fries. This place has a good assortment of deli items and snacks to sell with a narrow hall. The hardest part from our experience was both the chef and the cashier had a tough time getting our food orders correct. My friend got a Philly cheesesteak but both of them added an order of fries with her sandwich when she didn't get one. Mine was the chicken cutlet sandwich with the fries but the cashier was about to ring up my order and almost mistakenly stated it was the Philly Cheesesteak (almost got charged the extra price for the wrong sandwich). Luckily my friend and I were detail oriented and stopped them before anything was entered. Since the extra side of fries was made, they were nice enough to give my friend this no extra charge. But it was quite painful to correct and shocking on the customer side. Food is still good and didn't have a bad experience once we got to munch on dinner. But definitely check your items and the price charge when ordering from here.

I've been meaning to go to ALC for a while and finally had a chance to stop in before visiting my folks. The guys behind the counter are the nicest. They recommended the Pork Ridge as it's their Saturday special, and boy did it not disappoint! They sliced the porchetta off the roll and reheated it in the oven for me. It was topped with some aioli and grilled on a panini press, and it was just perfection. I also got the salmon with two sides for my parents to split. They're usually picky eaters, but they loved it! While you wait for your food, you can also do some grocery shopping. They have a ton of meats and cheeses, a fridge dedicated to caviar, and all other sorts of Italian specialties (like these delicious almond cookies from Italy that I bought). There are a few tables in the front if you want to sit and eat, but it's mostly a grab-and-go kinda place. Will 100% be back!

She gives me an attitude every time she sees me I believe she doesn't like Black people. There could be some type of racism going on. They have poor communication skills. They have horrible customer service they speak to anybody black disgusting they look at us in a nasty way they don't try to communicate on a reasonable level. My sandwich was wrong and she was arguing with me that I was the one placed the order wrong instead of just complying and giving great customer service and fixing my sandwich, which usual food service providers do... fix What's the issue that's wrong for the customer !!!! other than that the food is good !!! but the customer service and the people that worked there are horrible !!!!!!!! management should re train their staff on how to give good customer service.

I got hoagies: an Italian, a roast beef, and a honeybee. The guy at the register was annoyed giving money to his girl. He took my order in an annoyed way. He translated to the other guy in the back. It eas great. The guy in the back makes great sandwiches. Meats extra thin, cut to order, and stacked in an appetizing way. Condiments just right. Hoagie in on a seeded loaf. Generous portions. When we opened our food back at the record show, someone immediately asked where we got them. He was bummed he couldn't leave and he was right - the sandwiches were great.
