Outstanding Catering - Absolutely Exceptional!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about DiCara's Deli. They recently catered an event for us with 125 guests, and everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The food was fresh, abundant, and incredibly delicious. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and our guests kept coming up to tell us how wonderful the food was. You can truly taste the authenticity and quality in everything they make. Jill was so kind, organized, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She made everything easy and stress-free. Her husband Mark was just as wonderful--professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you are planning an event, do not go anywhere else for catering. DiCara's delivers excellence. And beyond catering, their "meals to go" are fantastic. Their Italian cuisine is absolutely delicious, homemade, and perfect when you want a high-quality meal without cooking. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding job they did for our event. DiCara's Deli has our highest recommendation!

After hearing great things about Fat Larry's in Reading, I decided to stop by recently. This casual…read moresandwich and ice cream shop offers a variety of signature made to order deli sandwiches, create your own sandwiches, bag chips, snacks, cold cooler drinks, hard scoop ice cream (cups & cones), sundaes, floats, frappes, and freezes. The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

Turkey is absolutely 100 out of 100 the balsamic adds just the right amount of tang. There is an apple and turkey sandwich that is the perfect combo of sweet and meaty. Its kind of a cute hole in the wall place but highly recommend.

I'll be there next Thursday when they have the Tripe and can't wait to talk to my new friends again.

So I get a large Chip's Tip sub and a few pastries for snacks. The bill was steep for what I got but I thought it would be worth it for my son to try the sub. After getting it, we split the sub and ate it in the car. Let me tell you that this was not the same steak tip I remembered. It was so bad, we tossed it in the garbage at the gas station next door. The steak was very tough and hard to chew - almost like the tips had been cooked earlier and then reheated for my order. Everything just seemed greasy. We also did not enjoy the raspberry turnover or yellow cream cannoli's we got for dessert. Maybe it was us or maybe it was the food but I will never go there again. We are not food snobs by any stretch of the imagination, and I rarely will say anything bad about a restaurant experience but we ended up going to Augusta's which is just a little bit down the road, for chicken just to erase this experience from our mouths. I know a lot of people will swear by their steak tip subs and that is great but it's just not for me anymore.

The corned beef is large chunks, not small diced pieces found in most commercial and canned hash. The potatoes, peppers, and onions gave a nice texture and flavor. I had it topped with two over medium eggs which were perfectly cooked. As I was eyeing the French toast, he gave me a single piece which included their fruit infused whipped cream and was really, really good! That might be my entree next time. My friend got the crepes and her face was doing happy expressions while she was eating. My new best friend Maria kept my coffee mug full-she visited the table frequently to make sure my mug never got low nor cold. She also took care to clean the table promptly as plates were finished. Now if my kids could learn that... oh wait, this is a diner review. The ambiance is cute and chic. There was easy access to accommodate wheel chairs and they have their menu clearly marked for gluten free available and vegan options (most of the menu). The menu is on the fancier side; they will prepare whatever someone wants (e.g. if someone just wants 2 eggs and bacon, they can easily do that). The location is on Main St. so parking is hit or miss. If you are nearby and want something good, this is a good option!

Turkey was dry. So... definitely not all the fixings. BLT was good but tiny with as little bacon as the turkey sandwich topping. I won't visit again. It was disappointing.

One of the excellent Roast Beef venues on the North Shore is Anthony's in Reading…read more While there's a huge menu of sandwiches, pizzas and Calzones, the man attraction here is the roast beef. The sandwich comes in 3 sizes: Super Beef (largest); $16 BIg Beef (medium): $14 Junior Beef (smallest): $13 We tried the medium size, prepared as a 3-way with cheese, barbecue sauce (Anthony's home made), and mayonnaise, on a toasted sesame bun. We also tried the junior, the smallest size, served on a grilled, buttered bun, was more than adequate (size-wise) to satisfy a serious midday hunger. Both were tender, well executed and flavorful. The meat was perfectly roasted, buttery soft, ideally rare, the roll was properly toasted and buttered, and the service was prompt. There's quite a wide menu, so there are plenty of options for the non-roast beef eater. The vegan in our group enjoyed a tasty vegetable wrap. The restaurant was clean and the kitchen efficient. Highly recommend.
