    Italian sub
    Virginia T.

    Ordered an italian sub with everything on it, including hots. What I got was a single layer or thinly sliced mortadella (3 slices total across the sub roll), 2 slices of provolone, tomatoes, sliced onion, pickle and hots. The veggies were fresh but where's the meat?!

    Chicken Margarita Sub - delicious.

    I was driving through Waltham on a late Saturday afternoon. I had never been to Lena's. The person who helped was nice. I ordered the chicken margarita sub (grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, fresh basil and olive oil). It was very good. I ate there. There are only three tables but the place was clean and comfortable.

    Ordered a hot BBQ Roast Beef sub and this is what I got.
    Nilsen S.

    We have ordered from here a few times but had a very disappointing experience today. I ordered a Hot BBQ Roast Beef sub. I also preferred it toasted with peppers, onions and provolone cheese. When the order arrived, the sub had no sauce whatsoever, was cold and not toasted. My wife also a ordered a meatball sub, with a request to be toasted. Her sub was soggy, untoasted and without any cheese. The meatballs also had an off flavor. Neither of us finished our meals. I can be pretty forgiving of quality issues, but it's very hard to recommend a place if they go 0 for 2 on just getting you the item you order.

    Menu description
    Hollie B.

    If you order something don't expect it to come as the menu has described it. Order a caprese salad supposed to be mixed greens and instead I got a bunch of iceberg lettuce with a little bit of mixed greens green peppers. They might as well have just taken a garden salad and thrown on a couple slices of mozzarella. Will never order from them again don't recommend them to anybody this wasn't the only item in my order that was messed up but this is by far the most disappointing!

    "steak tips"

    I would give this a 0 if it was possible. Worst steak tip dinner ever. The menu reads marinated steak tips with rice, steamed vegetables and a dinner roll. When our dinner arrived we received a pile of steak (if you could call It that) drenched in marinara sauce with steak fries. I called to inquire about getting a replacement because that is not what I ordered and they said "we can give you a discount for next time". No, absolutely not. When I said no we would like the meals that we ordered he said "well we are too busy". Worst thing you could ever say to a customer that you delivered the wrong food to. So they ended up sending the new plates over to us after 30+ minutes. When we got them the steak was nasty strips with what looks like mustard that had tried to be wiped off, a pile of raw veggies and a stuck together clump of white rice. I will NEVER go here again. I tried to order local and support our working neighbors but never again. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Charred boneless chicken wings. How can they package something for delivery that is so clearly garbage?

    The crust was nice and chewy and not too thin, just perfect.

    This was our second time eating here and chose to sit at the bar, which is quite nice. Jessica…read moreserved us and was very sociable. We had oysters to start. They were meaty and tasty. For dinner, Jessica recommended the Veal Milanesa, which I highly recommend. The restaurant is elegant and waitstaff are very professional. We will definitely go back.

    I really want to like this restaurant. It is convenient to where I live, it has its own parking in…read morethe back in a difficult area to park (Moody St, Waltham), the staff is friendly and accommodating, and who doesn't love Italian cuisine? We were 4 people, made a reservation, and were seated quickly in a half empty dining room. First off, the waitress asked if we wanted bread. We said no. She brought bread anyway. 3 squares of focaccia bread for 4 people. It was cold and a bit stale, likely it was from the previous day or earlier in the current day. The decor/ interior dining room is handsome and well appointed, adjacent to a large bar area. Our favorite appetizer was a colorful beet salad. The main course was a step up from the stale focaccia. We tried the special: Lemon-Basil scallops with peas/asparagus risotto - the scallops were nicely grilled but the risotto was very mushy. Same for the lemon-Basil pan roasted cod on a bed of asparagus risotto - the cod was lovely but the risotto was poorly executed and quite mushy. Maître-d was very accommodating. Will try again and give Stazione Di Federal another chance.
