Everything I have ordered has been amazing! I got the Chicken Parm with Mozzarella w/roasted peppers. The following time I got the eggplant parm special with Vodka sauce and as my friend said “I almost cried after eating that sandwich”. Haha, but seriously everything tastes fresh. I usually call in advance to order bc the lines look long, and move fast, but I’m on limited lunch time. The workers are friendly and very efficient. The only thing that’s a little inconvenient is that’s it’s Cash only 🙁

Can't beat this Old fashioned Italian sandwich shop. I literally drive an hour and half every other Saturday from Long Island for their addictive sandwiches. It's probably one the best sandwich shops around. All their sandwiches are FRESH and delicious. Roast beef sandwich dipped in gravy is way better than Brennan & Carrs. Their potatoes and eggs sandwich reminds me of legendary Dom and Sals on Ave. U. Fresh fried calamari and fried shrimp on Fridays are to die for. Mangia.

We stopped here before a cruise. Very close to the Brooklyn cruise port. We had no idea this place had been on Guy Fieri's show. Sandwich was huge, and so good.

Order the Roast Pork Special. Best sandwich I’ve ever had. Stop by for one before your cruise. It’ll be the best thing you eat all week.

It's an old school type of joint. Italian pictures and all that...Upfront the staff is nice and the sandwich I had was good. It was a pastrami reuben with Russian dressing. Bribed Olives were quite tasty... No seats inside, but picnic tables outside. I would try it again... It's kind of out of the way....

Ive been going here all my life. Im from Staten Island and anyone you ask will know this place. Excellent food and if it’s your first time I’d give the roast beef sandwich a try. Best roast beef sandwich i’ve ever had. Ah and bring cash.

Pretty good old sandwich shop. Def old school and a little run down imo. Got a chicken cutlet w melted mozzarella and chopped peppers w balsamic glaze. Very good. Got the small and shared it with my Mom. Nice sized. Sandwich with a bottle of soda 17.95. Word of caution: there's NO parking and no standing in front.

The bread was a little dry and they didn’t put that much Turkey on the wich, I loved every bite of it I’ll tell you now. It was fantastic. I ordered “The health” sando. Staff was nice and welcoming. Sad that I only got the chance to visit on my last day vacationing. In this part of Brooklyn that is very laid back. I will be back.
