Wow! This place is legit. Ah. Mazing sandwiches. It’s NYC quality gourmet sandwich shop right here in Chester, NJ. Apparently they also cater! The bread is crunchy and fresh - as if baked by an Italian grandma. The porchetta sandwich is served warm and was my favorite. We’ll be regulars here. (Like if this review was helpful or follow me!)
My GF and I had lunch here and it was stellar. They were out of the eggplant which saddened me but the meatballs were delicious and the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be coming back soon!
First of all, the service here is wonderful. The people here are very kind, friendly, and attentive, always chatting with you while you wait for your food.
And yes, you're going to have to wait for your food, especially the soup and the sandwiches, because they're freshly made to order. It's worth it! Freshly sliced deli meats and cheeses on toasted, hot bread with arugula and chive butter? Sign me up any day!
Their prepared deli items, like salads, are also amazing.
Kevin is amazing. We had a wine tasting party and he worked with us to create an amazing menu to go with each wine. We also recently hosted a private dining party at Artista Salumeria, wonderful place and wonderful food. Always a great place for a burrata sandwich! All of the staff is very helpful and friendly as well.
Great Food and hard working people. i love this place and shop here almost every week. Kevin and his team produce artisanal quality food and sell high quality packaged goods. Everything is made in their kitchen with a clear love of food shining through. every town should have a place like this. the sandwiches are awesome and all the prepared meals are excellent as well and again made by people you can see in the kitchen. they also do great food baskets as gifts and awesome platters for a party
Everything is fresh, and really tasty. I pick up their tiny appetizer trays which are great for about 4 people- enough for a really nice afternoon snack or to have as small appetizer. The people here are so friendly and will work to get it right for your occasion.
We absolutely love this place! Such a friendly place with some really fantastic food, both made to order sandwiches and pre-packaged goods. Olive oils, vinegars, cheeses, Italian cured meats, and a freezer of house made items like lasagna and tortellini. I cannot recommend them any higher. My wife and i have even used them for catering, which received rave reviews from our guests as well.
This is THE BEST Italian deli in Chester!!! The food is as authentic as it gets. They are so good and the staff is so amazingly wonderful that my fiance and I are going to have them cater our wedding. I can't say enough good stuff about this place. As soon as you walk in you know it's special. The care that they put into the food shows. Oh, get the meatball sandwich. It's on another level of amazing.
Wonderful place. The mushroom arancini they have occasionally is spectacular. Highly recommend the Sicilian tuna. Bread choices could be slightly better. But I can’t fault this cute place. Eggplant parm good too
I grew up in Brooklyn, so I thought I would never find an authentic Italian Salumeria out here in the burbs; I was wrong. Artista has quality, fresh, homemade italian dishes and specialty items that will take you back to a time of hanging cheeses, salamis and sawdust on the floor. Everything is fresh and made on premises. The pasta is perfect and the variety of sauces makes dinner easy. They have indoor seating and parking in the back. I had a roast beef sandwich, cooked rare and juicy. I'll def be back
Outstanding prepared food, great Italian gourmet pastas, sauces, oils, vinegars and more. Wonderful warm and friendly service. A real gem of a local business here in Chester!
Just finished lunch, part of a big bag of prepared foods I purchased yesterday. Superb dinner last night (stuffed peppers)t. Beyond outstanding lunch this afternoon (eggplant, burrata and orzo). Looking forward to the lasagna tonight....and we've got the legendary rice balls for lunch tomorrow and the eggplant parmigiana for dinner tomorrow night! So thrilled to have this culinary gem right here in Chester!
Amazing local Italian/deli shop. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for meats, cheeses, snacks, or lunch from a quality and reputable place. The sandwiches are to die for and the meatballs go great with pasta or by themselves!
If you are passing through Chester and only have time for one meal that meal should be at Artista. The owner, Kevin, is a kind individual and dedicated chef. He consistently delivers on the taste and quality of his food and any visit to Artista always results in brightening my day and leaving me full and satisfied. During COVID-19 Kevin has adjusted to providing meal to go and he posts a weekly menu on their website every Saturday that patrons can call and order for pickup later the next week. For anyone worried about a drop in quality due to a shift to takeout I would like to out your fears to rest. The food has remained as delectable as ever and the presentation of the meals has been unimpaired. My family ordered the Easter meal from Artista back in April and the food we received significantly brightened a bleak time as we were forced to celebrate away from loved ones. If you are tired of cooking or simply want something new give Artista a try.
Recently had private catering dinner here that was absolutely phenomenal.
Wonderful shop with authentic Italian delicacies; both imported and home made. The merchandise is carefully selected, offering a nice variety of high-end products. Everything I've ever bought there has been delicious, and you can't find a nicer staff. Great people.
This is our absolute favorite go-to to-go place for amazing prepared meals. Some favorite dishes : stuffed pepper, osso buco, rice balls, meat sandwiches, Lasagna. They have great Italian meats and salamis, cheeses and more. Staff and owners are super friendly and helpful!
Great specialty food shop/caterer with an Italian bias. great sandwiches and other foods prepared in house and very high quality cold cuts..ask for an espresso when you enter and then make your way to the food counter ...ask for Kevin the proprietor or Hector the counter man...( their both Italian at heart) kevin also does a beautiful job catering and will hopefully do some diners in the shop in the future?
Wonderful food the sandwiches are delicious and the to go heat-at-home food is SOOOO good!! You won’t regret it! Plus staff is so friendly and helpful!
