Two of us ordered a different pasta dish and they were great. One of us ordered a sandwich and it was phenomenal. Excellent cannoli and espresso. We told the staff we were visiting from across the river in Canada, which we do four or five times a year, and they were very friendly to us. Lots of products from Italy to buy, and we bought some dried pasta, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. A great choice for a delicious lunch. The decor is very cool.

There were still tables available inside, so don't let a full parking lot scare you away. Do not skip the fried green tomato appetizer- to die for! I ordered the Sunday prime rib special with a loaded baked potato and asparagus, and it was absolutely to die for. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and such a great portion. My husband had the chicken risotto and loved every bite. We heard regulars talking about how amazing the desserts are. We were too full this time but next time I'm excited to try the bread pudding! The bartender/manager was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. The whole place has such a cozy, welcoming vibe. We enjoyed every part of our meal and can't wait to come back!

Their food quality was amazing, absolutely delicious and full of flavor!! The only reason we gave it four stars was because our food took forever. They either accidentally forgot about us or lost the ticket? The manager noticed and tried to remedy the situation so that was good customer service on her part. Other tables got their food pretty quickly so it just seemed to be a fluke and I wouldn't hold that against them. Mistakes happen. Overall, would eat here again and recommend it!

As with most sub places, you can only hope your order is made correctly when being delivered. It's…read morenot like they can just remake it. Well....DiBella's is right there with every other sub place when it comes to screwing up an order. My wife ordered "The Cowboy" which is supposed to have chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce. As you can see from the attached photo, there IS chicken and a little spurt of BBQ. Cheddar cheese? Nope! Bacon? Nope! My sub had a nice thick pile of meat in the center of the bread but none on the ends. Maybe I should have specified where I wanted it? I guess we just got the "special" subs only available on Friday the 20th. Thanks anyway DiBella's. We'll just continue to get our orders screwed up elsewhere....for a lot less money.

Both sandwiches were solid and the veggie addition options were great. Due to COVID-19, I didn't dine in to get the atmospheric experience, but the service and pickup was a breeze and I got two free cookies for signing up for their free rewards programs. I definitely recommend with chocolate chip with walnuts.

The minute we walked in-he was engaging and trying to fill our mouths with the delicious food that he prepares. This in itself is so special and satisfying. The shop is warm and inviting. It's simple, clean, and fresh. The meatballs were so delicious and flavorful, and the bread was fresh in the truest form of flavor. The salad was packed with so many different Italian combinations of garnish that it was a meal in itself! The rice balls were shared with a local bartender on the way home and they were a big hit! Again, the owner went above and beyond to fill our bags to the brim. The food was cooked from the freshest ingredients. He is also giving cooking lessons and will be implementing the "real Italian" pasta soon! Cannot recommend this establishment enough.

I ordered here for a work lunch after asking them "what's good in the Northtowns." Happy when they…read moresuggested we try something different. I ordered the night before through DoorDash. The consensus was a build-your-own culetto, which sounded right up my alley. The ordering process was easy, although there were a few differences between the restaurant's menu (found on Yelp/social media) and DoorDash (no wheat bread option and aged provolone was the only cheese available). One thing I appreciated: you could pile on multiple meats without an upcharge. Naturally, the dietitian side of me chose turkey. The food-lover side of me immediately regretted it. My work partner ordered the meatball version, and wow - those meatballs, the sauce, and that crusty bread were clearly the winning combination. The sandwiches were served in little soup cups to help hold what I can only describe as a "bread pocket." It was delightfully messy, involved a fair amount of crunching, and was absolutely worth it. The office also requested tiramisu, so I ordered a couple individual cups, along with a sfogliatella. If you've never had one, imagine the love child of a croissant and a pastry shell: dozens of delicate, flaky layers that shatter with every bite, surrounding a lightly sweet ricotta filling with hints of citrus and vanilla. It's crisp, creamy, buttery, and delicate. Overall, I'm grateful for this opportunity to something a little different. Next time, I'm skipping the sensible turkey and going straight for the meatballs.

This food was so good it's making me come out of Yelp semi-retirement…read more A certain hot chicken sandwich chain was giving out free sandwiches with a download of their app today, and as we drove by the restaurant I knew it was not in the cards - that place was PACKED. So instead, I perused Yelp for other fast dinner options. Here I came across HCK Hot Chicken, skimmed reviews (I rarely let other people sway my opinions anyway) and after checking the small-ish menu we decided to check it out. THANK GOODNESS WE DID. The space only had a few people when we got here, and after sitting and waiting for food I did notice many to-go/takeout orders come and go. They have a SOLID menu, with many staple chicken dishes (chicken sandwich, chicken & waffles, even a mac & cheese bowl), and of course, hot sauce of varying degrees. There's also a big ol' neon sign that says "HALAL" over their menu, so I'm assuming they ARE halal to some extent (would ask to confirm). I ain't no pansy, so I got a medium heat chicken sandwich. If that's not your baseline, you don't know hot chicken baby!! One of two combos (the other being just tenders) comes with the sandwich, fries, and a drink for about $15. My husband ordered the mac and cheese bowl, also medium. Now, you know how sometimes you order medium heat, and it's more like a warmer mild? Well, that's definitely not the case here. This is where HKC would get an extra star from me if it could. SIX stars for a medium hot chicken sandwich that was ACTUALLY medium, ACTUALLY cleared out my sinuses pretty well, and the fact that I slammed that sandwich down like it was my job speaks volumes. I tried my husband's Mac too, and it was so, so good. Y'all underestimate how much I've fallen for this place. I don't even live in the area anymore, and I'm already plotting ways and reasons for me to come over here so I can stop by for lunch when so desired. Staff was also very pleasant! We didn't spend too much time waiting in the lobby, an our food was out within 10 minutes of ordering. They're advertising as "made to order" and I can concur with that - our meals were fresh, and of course, HOT! I need these guys to move next door to my house! Until then, I'll be back to visit soon for sure.

The modern reality is that the community doesn't really have the numbers to support a community deli...but Jonny C came up from the NYC area and while it's more of a sub shoppe than a Jewish deli, the matzoh ball soup is really really really good (plenty of chicken and carrots).

The Matzoh Ball soup is worth three stars alone.

Service is still as friendly as it was then. Food was still as good too. I had the turkey sub and my son had the steak sub. They may not look exciting for a picture, but they were excellent! I wish it were closer to my house because I could go for another one today! There is a conscience store in here too with plenty of choices of snack and drinks. There's seating. There's a shelf if you want to place an order to go. You can order online too! If you decide to sit and eat there, they'll bring you your food and then you'll cash out at the register when you're done (they'll have a slip with your order already).
