    The Mambo Italiano
    Jesse S.

    Fantastic sub shop! The menu has everything you could ever want, probably more than you can even take in, so study up in advance. Subs are priced on the higher end, but you get what you pay for. Nice fresh bread, beautiful cuts of meat, and the perfect layer of condiments. They were sadly out of the Muffaletta bread, but it was fantastic either way. I topped it off with a peanut butter milkshake that was blended to perfection. The service was wonderful. And I really enjoyed the decor, movies playing, and vintage games to play. Wish I had known about this spot sooner!

    Breaded Chicken Sandwich

    I ordered the breaded chicken sub via catering at work, so it seemed the catering options available were more simple than the typical menu options. My colleagues and I all agreed we weren't a fan, but again we may be biased off the catering offerings. The breaded chicken sub I ordered was cold; for a breaded chicken sandwich it was meh cold; when I heated it in the microwave it was better though. The Italian bread we chose for our sandwiches didn't taste good quality; very much cafeteria subway bread and much more bread than meat. My colleagues' sandwiches had very little meat in it!

    Ok let me first start off by saying the place inside looks cool AF! The artwork, the space, the video games you can play and all the extra stuff you can buy like POPS and signs. So cool! The owners mom was present and she's a lovely lady who def knows how to cook. I ordered something small and my friend ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich and it was 10/10 for both. The seasoning added to the macaroni salad along with the tuna was delicious. Then the sandwich ....oh man the chicken cutlet was cooked perfectly . Did I mention it's also BYOB! So, while you play video games and eat a sandwich you can have a nice cup of booze of your choice. Can't ask for a better combination . HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

    Just ordered via UberEats. Ordered the Muffuletta, 1 Ring to Rule them All app sampler, and a Diet Pepsi. The best part of my order was the Diet Pepsi. 1 Ring to Rule Them All - awful. Really really bad. The mozzarella sticks are the texture of cornbread. I think air frying is a terrible idea for these items. Chicken tenders were burnt and nasty. Fries were soft. Onion rings (there were two actually....) were burnt. Fried ravioli is nasty. I threw the whole thing away. Muffuletta Man - this bread is so damn hard to chew. My jaw actually started clicking. The flavors are good but I can barely chew the bread! I did like that they called to confirm the order. That's about it.

    Everything about this place is so much fun & amazing. From the interior of the store, to the menu items names & food itself! I've ordered once before & gotten takeout. Both times food has been fantastic. This time I got an Extra Sloppy Joe and boy oh boy...what a sandwich! It has such a unique taste with the sauce & what I'm assuming are pickles (?) that gave it a bit of a tangy flavor. The beef itself was great and the bread (brioche) was amazing. Definitely a must try if you love sandwiches! Can't wait to try more of their stuff

    Such a fun vibe and incredible menu. I love all of the menu options and their names. Definitely need to return to try more of the menu.

    6 Stars and DONE! LOL Well well well. NJ is truly the place where a sandwich turns into a SANGWICH ( a sandwich so good that it belongs in the sandwich hall of fame) Unfortunately I have been limited to ordering via delivery apps, so there are certain items I cannot try ( I am not even going to try to order one of their huge, extravagant milkshakes until I dine in (which will be soon!) The website will show what a cool, movie, TV, and video game inspired place this is in both food, drink and decor. Even the names of all the food & drink items are named after these mediums. A family run business where mom still makes the red sauce ( I'll forgive that they call it gravy here LOL) that goes on the parm & pasta items. Yet colorful, funky, and modern to appeal to all generations. They must have a great bread supplier, because all types we tried were top notch. However, they have some very creative sandwiches where a giant pickle is used instead of bread like the Pickle Rick & Mortadella : Mortadella, coleslaw and Provolone served on a giant pickle. THE FOOD Every item listed below was tried and certified as YUM to the MAX, The Taylor Swift : Taylor Ham & Egg Sandwich ( I had on brioche) where it was huge, with the fluffiest eggs and great quality sausage chunks A Wasted Italian : Ham, salami, capicola, pepperoni, soppressata, prosiutto and Provolone topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, oil and vinegar served on Italian bread. ( named after Goodfellas, if you can't make a cold cut in NJ you need to get a new job....this is very good) Optimus Prime Rib : Prime rib topped with horseradish mayo and au jus. Served on garlic bread ( this was amazing, i just wished they trimmed a bit of fat off) Porkemon Sub : Pulled pork and sharp Provolone with broccoli rabe or spinach. Served on garlic bread. ( Philadelphia may be known for cheesesteaks, but this sangwich is lost as famous..great job!) What I really thing is AWESOME is that most of the fried items are air-fried! Great decision! I would love to list all the cool named items on the menu but this would be the longest review ever. Check out the website. Very cool video. Amazing menu. great pictures of the shop. Can't wait to go. Best of luck & success to the Roda family!

    I have ordered lunch for my dock guys a couple of times here now. Sandwiches are a little pricey but worth it. They are large portions and still piping hot when delivered.

    Food is 8/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere/Vibe/Decor 10/10 I really love this place! I want to tell everyone about it because it's just so awesome. The concept really drew me in. It takes someone very creative to come up with something as well as this... But it takes a true bad ass and a really awesome staff to be able to execute. I won't lie, I was really nervous that the food wouldn't live up to the theme and awesomeness of this place but it did. Would have really sucked if the food wasn't good and the place was as cool as it is. Luckily they checked off all the boxes. I posted a bunch of pictures on here and I think that they speak volumes to how cool the spot is. They also have a giant screen playing classic movies that we all love and adore... Oh, and you get to play video games on smaller screens at the high top tables! It's a home run.

    Listen... I walked in here like "lemme see what the hype is about " and walked out like *okaaaay…read moreCARGIANO'S, I see you* First of all -- this place has been holding it DOWN since 1919... like WHAT?! If you been rocking since 1919, mi amor, I **have** to come see what's going on. That alone made me wanna pull up And let me tell you... I walked from Jersey City Heights down to downtown -- not a bad walk at all, un chin de cardio before breakfast . Real "treat yourself, mi amor" type of morning. Soon as I walked in... BABYYYY I felt like I got teleported straight into a little Italian market Shelves full of Italian goodies -- pastas, oils, snacks... I was like *yo quiero todo esto* It was giving *ciao bella, benvenuti, mangia mangia* vibes all day. The staff? Súper nice. No attitude, no rush -- just good energy. I told them it was my first time and asked what they're known for, and they really put me on No gatekeeping over here. My husband got the #7 (on a roll) I got the #8 (on a bagel) We sat outside and did what married people do... switched sandwiches halfway Now listen... mine was good -- turkey, egg, pesto... she was cute, she had flavor, estaba bien ‍ BUT HIS?! Ese sándwich estaba otro nivel. I don't know if it was the roasted peppers or what but *Dios mío*... delicioso, chef's kiss Only thing? Next time I'm switching my bagel for a roll porque ese pan estaba hitting different. The roll? Soft, fresh, perfecto. Also... let me tell you about the BACK They got frozen pastas, little Napoli-style dishes, a whole meat section that looked crazy fresh, and you can order cold sandwiches too. Esto no es solo un deli -- it's a whole Italian experience, okurrr. And yes... it's a *little* pricey, no te voy a mentir. Pero honestly? You get what you pay for. Calidad, sabor, vibes -- todo está ahí. I skipped the coffee porque estoy tratando de behave con el budget but next time? And I'm coming back for that banana pudding porque I'm obsessed no shame. They got a little patio if you wanna sit, or you can take your food to the park and have a whole picnic moment. Real main character energy. Ponte linda, grab your sandwich, and just vibe out. Overall? 5 stars Good food, good vibes, buena gente. CARGIANO'S said "treat yourself" y yo dije... say less

We ordered a #22 and #25 - both were delicious. The grilled chicken and eggplant was very special, never had anything like it, slightly sweet with the peppers. Turkey on the other one was cut thinly and very fresh. Bread was outstanding, we'll be back next time we're in the area.

They have a huge variety of sandwiches on the menu, from classic combos to more creative, loaded options, so there's something for everyone. We ordered the chicken Caesar, the Hell Raiser, and the Jimmy Z, and each one brought something different to the table. The chicken cutlets were cooked perfectly and not greasy at all. You can taste how incredibly fresh the mozzarella was which really stood out, and the bread was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart. What really impressed me was how generous the portions were. These sandwiches are packed! Super filling and worth the price (14$). You can tell they don't cut corners with quality or quantity. Only downside is parking can be a bit of a struggle in the area, so plan ahead. But once you take that first bite, you won't even care.

They (still) fax their daily specials to our office and it always looks pretty darn enticing. Two visits spaced a few years apart and... it's a decent deli, but for such a massive space it sure feels like they don't have enough. On my most recent visit I'd asked for hot sausage and they seemed almost confused and pushed soppressata instead. (Maybe that's my fault that I'm coming too early before they have a chance to fill up the cases?) There's a big "Tavola Calda" for the hot (prepared) meals/specials (that they hype up via their daily faxes). People behind the counter are friendly. Parking lot in the back. Decent pricing. In the center there's plenty of tables (I'm not sure if it's technically a 'restaurant' as well?). On my initial visit the lot across the street was completely empty/barren/abandoned. My most recent visit there's the foundation and frame to a massive 500-capacity building. (The next time I'll make my way here - that new complex will surely be filled to the brim with tenants.) And yes... when you're paying at the counter look to the right and you'll see their most lovely deluxe fax machine standing at the ready to get the word out!
