I got a nice italian hero with salami, ham, prosciutto, fresh home made motzarella, marinaded mushrooms, ref peppers, perfectly baked italian bread for lunch. I really wanted a hot sandwich but on weekends there is none. This means i will have to come back on a weekday to try the hot menu offerings. I was able to share my sandwich, as its loaded with meats, really hit the spotin taste and freshness. read more

Leo's Latticini Mama's - Lunch - Delis Near Me - Corona, New York

One of the best sandwich spots in all of nyc. Their turkey hero with Gravy is the goat, please get it and try it. Try it fresh with hot peppers before the bread gets soggy because of the gravy. They also have daily specials such as chicken parm with pasta which is also pretty solid. They used to have a stand at citi field as well, I miss it since this place is a little out of the way for me and parking is a nightmare. read more

Great deli spot for classic Italian sandwiches. Got the mamas special and mozzarella hero. Both solid sandwiches filled with fresh ingredients and impactful flavor! Friendly staff, got to meet Irene too! Clean on inside and gives off homey vibes. If you also want to eat sandwiches at their garden, it's on the same block inside the cafe they co-own read more

The absolute best sandwich spot in Corona! It's the home of the New York Mets and has been an institution for us since back in the day!

This is the most famous Italian deli in Queens. It has been here and run by the same family for over 100 years. I've always wanted to stop and try their sandwiches, which are supposed to be outrageous. The food at the U.S. Open is notoriously expensive, so I'm happy were able to make the stop. I ordered the Mama's Italian hero special by phone & will pick it up in :30. Once I was here I realized that they had piles of ready made sandwiches to grab and go. Everything looked and smelled delicious. The shop was packed with gourmet Italian items piled up to the ceiling. Our sandwiches were delicious. The bread was so fresh, there were thick slices of fresh mozzarella, and the meat was generous. Lunch was a real treat. read more

Mama reigns supreme! The top tier Italian deli/ cheese shop on a key corner Corona that's big on the Mets and keeping Italian traditions going.. she's an ideal ambassador for culinary legacy here in Corona. Big stop for Mets fans I hear. I understand the sandwiches are top notch but we bought Italian staples like fresh mama made mozzarella and imported Italian olive oil & artichoke. All Jarred goods were wrapped on Leo's butcher paper and you feel the love and traditions here. read more

I was greeted by the owner after placing an order for the Turkey Deluxe. She was so incredibly nice and welcoming, and shared with me this eatery is indeed fact and institution to the area since-what? 1920? It's incredible that this place is still around and it is absolutely important that these New York originals do what they have to remain. It is these places that keep the spirit of New York as special as it is. The Turkey deluxe was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The gravy, made fresh daily, was perfectly savory without being salty or overpowering in flavor. The turkey felt like it was the best leftovers the evening after thanksgiving. You know how sometimes the turkey your grandmother made is somehow even better the next day? It was exactly like that, and with mozzarella. I had mine cold but definitely will have it hot next time for the variety. The bread was soft, fragrant, and had just the right amount of bite. The flavor profile was deepened by the gravy being soaked up. Again, big day after Thanksgiving vibes. All in all, I'm very happy and proud, as a native New Yorker, that these important places remain stalwart. Hope I can visit again soon. read more

Leo's Latticini Mama's - a sub sandwich on a table - Delis Near Me - Corona, New York

A classic that has stood the test of time. Hot dishes are amazing, but their fresh mootz is the best in the city. Can't go wrong with mama's special sandwiches. Say hi to Irene. read more

Everything. This place is wonderful and old fashioned at its finest. I wish you would deliver read more

Mama's is fiercely local, deeply rooted in the neighborhood, and consistent in its delivery of Italian American classic sandwiches. Don't come here expecting dainty, hipster-nouveau-rustic, European food: this is not the place you're looking for. But, if you want a thicc sub that will delightfully fall apart in your fists during your sunny picnic in nearby Flushing-Meadows Park, Mama's will help you out. You can also come here to get cold cuts, various antipasti, Italian pantry goods, and, down the block at their bakery, Italian pastries, but I've really only come for the classic sandwich with a bunch of layered meats, cheese, pickles, and mushrooms. I am tbh always too scared to ask for any modifications to the Mama's special sandwich but I am always thrilled to eat what they give me. Is it the absolute best Italian American hoagie you're ever going to eat? I'd probably pick, locally, Stretto Bros in LIC over Mama's. But, there is something that feels "authentic" (I know, I know, the word is cringe now) about Mama's, and it's a real local mainstay that seems to have been here for generations, with the original "Mama's" daughter running the show. Come for the sandwich, find vibes that are increasingly rare in NYC, and enjoy their hospitality! read more

The special is a great sandwich! Love it! And the pastries next store are the best! Owner id a lovely lady and very welcoming

Great stuffed Schell's and sandwiches, the best! Meatballs are wonderful. Everything here is delicious, almost as good as my grandmothers. read more

This place has been around for a long while, but I only came here for the first time this past summer, and now, whenever I find myself in the area, I try to come by here for a nice fresh sandwich for lunch. I'll usually get their fresh mozzarella hero, and I'll add tomatoes and peppers as well. They have hot tray daily specials, as well as other specialty Italian ingredients. I love that they're Mets fans and I want to try to support these guys as it's rare to see businesses last for decades now. read more

This is a legit italian deli in the neighborhood at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend the italian hero, they make a ton of these and know what they're doing. They also make home made mozzarella, smoked mozzarella, and tons of different varieties of fresh made pastas. Come for a sandwich for lunch and take some pasta home to make dinner for the family! read more

I would say this is the best place to get a sandwich in New York City. I've come back many times. I love watching them make the sandwich and putting on the gravy. You always get a full sandwich and they are not cheap or the meat or the sides. read more

It is absolutely delicious!!! Friendly service, everything is fresh and clean. I also had a latte, and it was made perfect. Coffee was fresh. read more

This is an absolute MUST. Worth the trip if not in the area. This place is a legit NYC ICON! Family owned over 100 years. Best sandwich in Queens, if not NYC. Momas special is a classic sandwich and personal favorite. The sandwich was hand made and designed by Momma her herself. Mommas ides was to pre make the sandwich and have a few at the ready for the cops and firemen, so they could come in and grab and go back to work. The sandwich dont seem to last more than a few minuets. The recipe and concept is carried on by her children. Perfect sandwich! I get it every time. They also have some other fantastic menu sandwiches and daily hot specials Mommas also has a very good Traditional Italian bakery that is a fantastic place to wash down a Mommas Special with a perfect cappuccino and fresh cannoli. Worth the trip, highly recommend! read more

A unique neighborhood landmark that lives up to its reputation for old-school homemade quality and value for money. Their sandwiches can't be beat. read more

Love this place!! Awesome Hero's and sandwiches. Can't go wrong with the Turkey-FresH Mozzarella-Peppers-hero with brown Gravy. Also have great hot dishes like home-made ravioli. Great place to stop when going to a Mets game or other event at Citi-Field. Owner is great!! read more

The Backbone of Corona. This fine Italian deli style kitchen serves up satisfaction and beyond. From their weekly specials to their imported meats and cheeses, you'll feel like your visiting you long list Italian Nana from the moment you walk in. Portions are large and robust. I suggest their Sopresata which is pre-sliced and any special from either day of the week, from eggplant parm to meatballs, to fill your void of good Italian feasting. R.I.P. Mama. Sad to see you go but your memory lives on strong. read more

Been going for years. Always excellent. The new girl needs to put more on the fresh roast beef sandwich. Kind of short changed me today. Hopefully she gets better. read more

I don't understand the hype about this place. The sandwiches are as thin as can be. I've been here multiple times and pray that the previous time was just a mistake but I think this is the last straw. They always disappoint when I open my sandwiches and see slivers of whatever you order. They go cheap on the cold cut meats!. Let's dive into the details: Place - not ideal for parking because the area is congested all the time. If you do come here by car, plan accordingly. Also keep in mind they have a bakery/cafe section on the block. Be sure to go into the one in the corner for the average sandwiches. Service - average. Food - I got the mamas special because hey...it's mamas special! BUT be warned, they pre make these god knows how long in advance. That's a no no I'm my book. I want my sandwiches fresh. Like I said above, they do not pack it with much. You'll be hungry if you're a normal sized person. The taste of the sandwich was good though! I also tried the super Italian - I would recommend this over the Mama's special because instead of it being pre made they take the cold cuts that was pre cut from a container and then make your sandwich....yeah...but it wasn't a bad sandwich. Overall, the sandwiches are not bad but for the money you can get better elsewhere. I will not be coming back as I am not a fan of pre cut & pre made sandwiches just because they can get busy at times. read more

This place is a gem!!!! The smell walking in is so inviting. Irene who I believe is the owner, greets you with such warmth. My husband and I are so happy we found this place. Today we ordered 2 subs. I got the Turkey Deluxe which tastes like Thanksgiving in a sandwich. My husband got the combo which had salami, ham, cheese, peppers...AMAZING! Sandwich is so big i was only able to eat half. Also, do yourself a favor and visit the bakery...two doors down, Tiramisu...perfection. read more

This place is a neighborhood gem. Stopped by on Tuesday to pick up couple of heroes for a Mets doubleheader - Mama's Special and Roast Turkey with gravy. Each hero was longer than a foot long and stuffed like crazy. The Mama's Special had red peppers, mushrooms, salami, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. The Roast turkey had some tasty bird, gravy and fresh mozzarella as well. The sandwiches were heavy, tasty and provided enough sustenance so we could enjoy eight hours at the ballpark. Total was $23 - may seem pricey, but they were damn tasty and a bargain compared to what they're peddling at Citi Field. read more

When I lived in New York it was one of my Favorite places to have lunch or dinner. I would say it's one of the best sandwich places in NYC . It's been around for as long as I can remember. And even today the same family is still there. If your in Queens by Citi Field its a MUST visit. Whenever I have to travel to NY I try to visit this place. Real authentic and old fashion. Don't forget the fresh mozzarella on anything you have. read more

I love this place. It's a few blocks from my job and it's a wonderful walk in the spring or fall for a delicious sandwich. The mamas specials are bomb! But I am biased since living off salami and cheese are my goals in life. The sandwich usually consists of salami, ham, fresh mozzarella. You walk in and all the cheese hanging off the ceiling makes the most delicious smell, as if you've been wrapped in a blanket of cheese and might walk outside and be in Italy. The lunch specials are really good too. Their stuffed shells and chicken parm are also good! Another plus is you can always buy fresh cut salami or cheeses and a bunch of other goods from Italy. read more

Had one of the best sandwiches of my life from hear. The bread alone was so good, and the fresh mozzarella.

All around great! I've been here many times. Never disappoints. Classic in the area and a must for anyone who knows what to look for.

Great sandwich. The turkey and mozzarella was amazing. Going to make it my sandwich place of choice.

Great hero's and hot food weekly specials. Staff are friendly and super attentive. Shop is an icon for many years and the last block left of the old Italian neighborhood. Highly recommend you eat your lunch in the backyard bakery. read more

5 Stars for old school Queens Italian pork, broccoli rabe, roasted red peppers with gravy... need 2 hands to secure one half and more foul to wrap up the other half to go. On our way home from 10 days in Boston we were looking for lunch in the vicinity of Guida Funeral Home in Corona before a 2 pm wake. Luckily the pastries caught my eye in the far left store front and we wandered in to see others eating their Mamas hero's at the tables... shoot down a few doors to the meat store for the hot sandwich of the day that is the size of a newborn. Lee and I should have split one. Crazy !!! Enjoyed the sandwiches and then some coffee and pretty unexciting cookies... hey Boston, you win in the pastry department !! read more

Finally made it to the source. I've been to their outposts at old Shea Stadium (field level behind home plate) and at Citi Field (field level, left field corner), and I finally made to the original location in Corona. I was biking 32 miles around Flushing Meadows Corona Park and made a lunchtime detour to here. I'm glad I did. Old school Italian deli. The original deli counter is still in use. Even met Mama's granddaughter who now owns the place and lives on the second floor above the establishment. Nice friendly woman. $10 for a massive hero. A couple of outdoor tables to dine al fresco. Loved it. I will be back. read more

It's a good thing my hubby waited in the car because he only wanted to share a giant sandwich. Hell no, mamas sandwiches are that good I got two. I wasn't sharing just one. A mamas special and a spicy Italian. Everything plus oil vinegar. Two sodas. 30 bucks. Very fair price and very delicious. read more
