First time visiting the Square Deli. It will not be my last. We ordered a pepperoni pizza with hots…read moreand all I can say is it was the best pie north of New Haven I have ever had. Absolute perfection. The photo says it all ... the ingredients were world class, preparation was masterful, and the char was epic! After we chatted about the steak sub with some patrons I had the opportunity to try a steak and cheese ... again, just amazing! Sliced ribeye, cooper sharp, and a seeded bun ... an homage to the best in Philly. Do not miss this experience! Thank you Chris ... see you soon!

I really want to like this place, I honestly do. Their pizza is good, and the chicken parm is…read moresolid. Unfortunately, the steak and cheese is a hard pass. I ordered the South Philly steak. They were out of long hots, which isn't a huge deal, but seems would be a major part of the flavor profile. It comes with a garlic aioli, which I'd strongly recommend skipping. It's extremely heavy on the aioli with very little garlic flavor, and the added provolone actually takes away from the overall taste rather than enhancing it. The real issue, though--the nail in the coffin--was the steak itself, which is obviously the most important part. It's advertised as being shaved fresh on site, but the trimming and consistency need serious work. I ended up throwing away more than half the sandwich. Even picking through the meat, a large portion consisted of thick, roughly 1/8-inch thick slices full of gristle (see picture) that were impossible to chew. That's not what I expect from a $19 cheesesteak. I'd expect that quality from a Market Basket sandwich, not from a place like this, and that was genuinely disappointing. As a side note, the house-baked sesame roll is a nice touch, but it really should be toasted. As served, it was overly soft and heavier than a typical sub roll. Two stars solely based on the cheesesteak. It's not a one-star review only because the pizza and chicken cutlets are still good here.

She was talking about the classic (cold cut) italian - I had to disagree because I thought that the steak italian in my hands was the best sandwich I'd ever had. From the soft bread, with loads of flavor, to the contents... it hit at a 10/10 level. Be prepared for a wait - they don't operate at lightspeed. But, in my opinion, the wait and the steep price is aboslutely worth it!

I said o wanted provolone e cheese and he said it come with all the veggies. I said I want mayo and no vinegar he said "what ever you want". The bread on the sub was very good. The sub was $18. The veggies were broccoli and carrots. Seriously. They needed sal or seasoning. I definitely would NoT recommend this place if you are a vegetarian. I cannot speak for the carnivores.

It's a pretty great sandwich, actually. I like the Boss, but there are many great options. There are just two things to keep in mind: 1) it's relatively expensive (though doable) 2) the sandwiches are quite rich and salty, often relying on a flavorful cream element (truffle cream, pistachio cream, etc.) As a result, I probably wouldn't go every day or even every week. But a once-a-month cadence or so would be great. Try it!

Both were tasty and good quality cut meats. The spicy plant was a pleaser umami with a lil kick. For some reason one bread was soft while the other was hard. Don't forget to add the olive oil in the bread before taking a bite. Overall a high quality sandwich worth checking out. Would inwait an hour in line hmmmmm

One of my local favorites! You can never go wrong here. The portions are huge and the food is…read moredelicious. I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

Baked gnocchi is a must-have. The fresh basil on top of everything was a nice flavorful touch. Generous cheese, generous portions, and quick and personable service.

We were treated very nicely as soon as we walked in. Very well staffed and everyone had a smile on their face. My son ordered chicken parm and I got a grilled chicken. The sub size is amazing. You will not believe how big the rolls are. They are the equivalent of 2 subs but the price is relatively cheap! As we waited, we both noticed how busy they were. The phone was ringing and the there was a ton of foot traffic picking up and placing orders. The lady who is in charge was so sweet. She makes everyone feel right at home and welcome! What a nice touch! Our food was ready rather quickly. We got 2 cans of soda and a brownie. The price was very reasonable! Considering how big the roll is, we got a 2 for 1 deal! How did it take me this long to eat here? I found the location on social media. We will definitely be back! Price: cheap considering how much we got Parking: easy....Eastern Ave or side streets Vibe: inviting/welcome Will I be back? For sure....if they were open tomorrow, I would go back tomorrow! Looking forward to trying a few different things and possibly sitting at the bar! 5 stars!!

I remember it loaded with chicken fresh off the flat top covered in a delicious gravy & mushroom's. Today I was a little disappointed because first of all my order involved no ham and no cheese . I suppose mistakes happen when you make it a certain way every day in and out since 1950's, that you don't pay attention to the little things like people that are lactose intolerant or allergic to ham. Reluctantly, they made me a new sandwich that had one itty-bitty piece of chicken in it breaded,& the delicious gravy. It felt a little light the second time around and it was reported to me that the lady that took the order and placed the sandwich in my friends hand had an attitude. I know my one little sandwich won't make her break your business, but it seems to have an effect when you had to do it over. Try better next time thanks.

The peppers weren't spicy but added perfect acid to the whole pizza.

The wife had the Gnochetti which had the important trick of knowing to mix the gnocchi and the short rib into one amazing concoction. Trust me on this one. We closed with the Nutella pizza which I've had at numerous other restaurants and Ciao's was hands down the best ever. Make sure to save room for this... seriously.

We were surprised to see they also made sandwiches. It's a small store, but the variety of products to take home is really good. Really nice staff.

We ordered two sandwiches exactly how they prepare without substitutions. The name of the second sandwich is escaping me. Another fantastic sandwich. And, cheap for what they give you! We were going to find a restaurant for lunch and We brought the sandwiches back to our hotel to have for dinner later and breakfast the next morning. Yeah, only a couple bites made it to the next morning. Soooooo good! They sell the best balsamic I have ever had. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Boston. BTW, they gave us a business card, because they ship, too. People have them ship the balsamic all the time.
