    a variety of pastries in a display case
    Nicholas G.

    Took me a minute to find it since it is behind the main street and the gps got confused. This is a straightforward deli that has all the heavy hitters. Thr chicken parm hero was my go to since you can't go wrong with it. The crumb cake was also nice and crumbly with just the right sweetness. The thing that threw me off was there were a few premade sandwiches in the case. Not sure who those are for. The sandwich was good but nothing spectacular. They did have some hot dishes and I always appreciate that since you never know what you are in the mood for. I would come back but I have it at 4 stars.

    I thought this place was nice. Solid but not really amazing. It's a small deli, street parking, and a small seating area. I found it a little confusing where you order and where you pay and ended up in the wrong line. I ordered the Filomena's Hero (ham, salami, mozzarella, toppings) and it was a fine sandwich, but I mostly tasted bread over the meat and cheese. It was a perfectly decent sandwich, but it's not the best deli sandwich I've had, so A-OK sounds about right. They also have a minimum $10 for credit card, so I ordered a turnover to meet the minimum. That was pretty good. So overall, if you are in the area, a fine place for lunch, but I wouldn't recommend driving out of your way for it.

    Used to go to Filomena's for lunch fairly often, but not as frequently anymore. I recently went back and it was still delicious! - Food: Randomly discovered Filomena's a couple months back and glad that I did -- the food is delicious here. The have a good variety with alternating daily hot specials. I generally stick to the sandwiches here, such as their mozzarella sandwich (they have great, fresh mozzarella) or their Eggplant Parmagian Panini (~$8), which comes with chips. I don't think you can really go wrong with whatever you order here. - Price: The only slight negative about Filomena'a is the price -- it's a bit more expensive than it should be, in my opinion. However the food is delicious and generally seems fresh, so guess it's a trade-off. I know folks have mentioned parking as an issue, when I go during lunch time or early afternoon, there's usually street parking near the front of Filomena's. If this is full, try the metered parking lot in the Noches de Colombia parking lot. Overall, delicious and generally fresh food, a bit overpriced. I'm going to continue coming here occasionally as I have been!

    Consider yourself forewarned, this spot might just put your kitchen out of business. Stopped in randomly for lunch. Business was steady with locals at the deli counter, and the kitchen was cranking out food at a frantic pace. I ordered a daily special, sesame crusted tuna. The friendly gentleman who took my order told me it would be "about 8 minutes". 8 minutes later, a gigantic portion of fresh, beautifully seared sushi grade tuna on a bed of greens with tomatoes, red peppers and house made lemon garlic dressing was delivered to my table. They need to raise their prices. This dish was a steal at 8.95. On my way out the door, I grabbed a few rice balls filled with prosciutto and mozzarella, some zucchini fritters, and a sandwich I had sampled during my 8 minute wait with pork cutlet, avocado, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle salsa. Man oh man, they know their way around a rice ball. And the pork cutlet sandwich? Genius! My total for all those take out items was a measly 17 bucks. Seriously, they need to raise their prices. Now that I've found filomena's, my stomach is happy and my stove is collecting dust.

    Filomena's is tucked away on a small side street off Paterson Plank Road. What caught my eye, there had only been three reviews and all five stars. Well.... I won't break the trend. Stopped by today for lunch and ordered the Pisano Hero to go. It is a huge sandwich filled with Ham, cappacole, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and choice of spread. I chose the pesto. The other choices are black olive spread and roasted pepper spread. This is the most mozzarella I have had on any sandwich ever. They have daily hot and cold specials and offer catering. Delivery is available Monday through Friday 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. If you work in Secaucus or are in the area you really should check them out. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. There are about 15 tiny tables if you care to dine in and have the time. Parking is street only but I was able to find a small lot across the street and was done pretty quickly.

    Hands down one of the best Italian delis left in the area! Great home made meals each day, and great sandwiches, and they can make any sandwich a panini!!!!

    Just half of the mozzarella fresh tomato and basil panini. On the Wednesday special menu.

I ordered the buffalo wings, garlic knots, a small cheese pizza with vodka sauce instead of marinara & mushrooms, and a cannoli. The wings were not Buffalo, they were a mix between Buffalo and bbq. If I had known, would not have ordered. Did not like the bbq sauce flavor. I also asked for ranch as I despise bleu cheese but alas, I did not get ranch and had to eat my wings plain. Garlic knots were perfect. The pizza tho. Ugh, it was so bad. They made a cheese mushroom pizza with way too much cheese and then put the vodka sauce on top after!!! Like a drunken grandma pie. That's not what I wanted. I asked for, "a cheese pizza with vodka sauce." It was so soggy that it soaked through the bottom of the box. Stayed soggy even after reheating in the oven. I ate half a slice and tossed the rest sadly. I won't be ordering from here again. The cannoli was fine but wouldn't order again either. The only thing I would eat again is the garlic knots. Very disappointing for Jersey pizza.
