Its very rare to get 5 stars. Despite food served diner style with plastic utensils, the quality of food and service is so good that it harkens back to the north. Dont expect a fancy place. This is a local and family friendly location in a strip mall with growlers and a board game store. Now on to the food. They have typical Italian fare like a chicken parmigiana hero. Now this was good but it doesnt keep up with the cold sandwiches. I had a mozzarella, pepper, arugula, prosciutto sandwich with balsamic vinegar. Wow! Its 13 dollars but worth it. It tastes fresh and rich at the same time as the owner doesnt go cheap on the prosciutto. If you have room for dessert they have 3 options. Italian cookies, homemade cannolis and cheesecake. They are all good but the one that will make you shake your head is the cheesecake. Its 5.50. Just get it. Its thick dense and not that sweet. The way its supposed to be. Lastly the mozzarella. You can order the homemade mozzarella by the pound. It is so much better that just about anywhere you can go. This reminded me of the local cheese shops in New York where you walk past the deli on the way home from work and grab a pound of fresh Mozz. After you order he gives you instructions on how to eat and keep fresh. So order a pound to take home with you. So is this the best Italian you have ever had? Nope. But considering its location, low pressure environment, great service and food on the table in under 10 minutes puts this place at the top of food choices available.

My buddy brought me to my new favorite restaurant and brought me here for lunch. Let me tell you. No lie. I havent had this level of good food since my Grandmother Dawn passed away God bless her soul. This place is ran by Johnny and his personality is almost as big as his smile. Stepping in here is like stepping into a cafe in old time New York City. The food is authentic Italian. The sauce is out of this world. Homemade Mozzarella is to die for. The Cannoli and Cheesecake are the best I have had in idk how long. Do yourself a favor and stop by and have a sandwhich and a desert and tell me this isnt one of the greatest spots you have ever been too and that is coming from an Italian.

Truly AMAZING! I thought my nana was alive and in the kitchen! Beat my expectations! I love the ambiance and people at this place! They will begin serving dinner in May and staying open til 8! Small cafe setting, Frank Sinatra music, and pictures of the city all around....and great conversation! If you do not want to wait in line, get there before noon or just after 1....very popular for lunch! You will not be disappointed... (take that from someone who refuses to eat Italian out.... Im a big critic) <3 <3 <3

My girlfriend and I were curious about this place and finally went today! It was amazing! She got the ham, salami, and mozz deluxe and I had the meatball sub. Marinara sauce and meatballs were out of this world. The fresh mozzarella was best Ive ever had. The service is fast and friendly. Definitely will return. I would suggest this place to anyone that wants a good sandwich and a great atmosphere to go with it.

Absolutely loved it! My hubby is from NY so the owner and him had a lot to talk about. The owner is wonderful. So friendly and knows what he is doing in the kitchen. The mozzarella is made fresh daily and the meats are Boars head and the peppers are actually from NJ. The food is awesome! Im so impressed with this place. I will eat here often. Oh and the cheesecake, is the best I have ever had.

Awesome authentic NY and NJ deli. Im from Jersey... and this IS as good as it gets. Great friendly staff as well - you are treated like family. Food is delicious. Italian bread is baked on premises, Italian sausage flown in from Jersey, meatballs fluffy and perfect, mozzarella made on premises as well. Hero is my favorite so far. You gotta go!

This is my second time here. Iam from California and this is the only place I get baked ziti from.. The man himself takes pride in his food and service he has no problem getting his hands dirty. He is the only one who has made my ziti and I wouldnt want it any other way.. And their cannolis dont even get me started on their cannolis......

The cheese cake is the best. Only if you know what cheese cake should taste like. Cant wait to try the pasta fa-zool The prices are great and the service is wonderful. Being from NYC myself you have to understand the humor, sarcasticnas and love of the staff. This place is amazing on the best Ive seen in 35 years living in atlanta

I had the sausage & peppers & onions with fresh mozzarella. Delicious!!!❤ My grandson had the meatball sandwich. I tasted it & it was wonderful!!!❤ The bread definitely was New Jersey. The cheesecake was so light & the cannoli was almost as good as mine. Definitely will be back when craving a taste of Jersey

I am an italian girl from New York and when it comes to food, it takes alot to impress me. This place was fantastic! Super clean, great service, the manager even brought my friend and I a free app while we were eating lunch. The inhouse made red sauce, Italian bread, and mozzarella were AMAZING!! I WILL be back.

Amazing meal! I had the balsamic chicken sammie and it was delish! Oh my and the cannoli was killer too! Im already planning to go back so I can try the meatballs and cheesecake but Im worried about having enough room for cheesecake and cannoli because, I mean, how could you go there and not get a cannoli? ;-)

I finally got around to trying this place after passing it many times and now I wish I had been going here from the start. They have the most amazing cheesecake Ive ever tried. I also had the balsamic chicken sandwich and that was amazing as well.

Amazing!! I take all my friends and family from out of town here before any other food location in all of Atlanta. And every one of them is impressed. Food quality is top notch. The desserts are great. Mozzarella is the best in Atlanta.

The food is incredible - all made fresh and from scratch. Mozzarella as good as I have ever had, even in Italy. The staff is friendly and treats even New customers like regulars and family. Worth every penny for their sandwiches.
