The place is bright and clean. I ended up getting the 4 Corner ($12.95) which consists of grilled chicken, PROSCIUTTO, BOAR'S HEAD IMPORTED HAM, FRESH MOZZARELLA AND ROASTED RED PEPPERS ON A LONG ROLL. It was good, just felt like there was a lack of chicken compared to the pics I have seen. I also got to try the cheesesteak ($12.95) which was great. The cheese was cooked and blended into the beef, green peppers and onions. The cheesesteak saved my lunch. Solid spot for lunch and I would recommend especially if you want cheesesteak. * Parking on premise * Street parking available * Takeout only inside

I was going there with the intent of getting a meatball sandwich but then noticed that they've added a Buffalo Chicken sandwich to their menu and I couldn't resist. Chicken was fresh as always. Just a little bit of lettuce and ranch on it. Actually the perfect ratio. Heat factor was done right. Now too spicy but enough to keep the lips tingling afterwards. Price is slightly higher than venues comparable to this establishment. Food and service is very good but the price is just a little bit on the elevated side.

Whether you get the homemade soup, the Tex Mex Salad, or one of the great dinner specials, you can't go wrong by ordering take out from the Chestnut Deli in Ridgewood. We ordered the dinner special last night and it was outstanding! Thank you to Billy and Luana Woods, owners of Chestnut, for your top-notch friendly service!

We had several events catered, both big and large, and were fully satisfied every time. They are the only place we consider when planning an event. Walk in service is great as well. I'm partial to deserts and the cake pops hit the spot. We had a custom design order made for a co-worker. They thought the design was awesome and now have a customer for life. They are definitely worth a taste! read more

Being that I was attending a pool party today I offered to pick up sandwiches for lunch for a group of 9 and called in an order for 2 hours later. Sadly 3 of the sandwiches arrived on ciabatta bread instead of focaccia, which was quite disappointing as the only reason the sandwiches were picked were specifically to get the focaccia. And, one of the sandwiches we asked for no sauce as it was spicy and she can't eat spicy, and it arrived with sauce, smothered all over. I understand everyone has an off day but almost half our orders were wrong. If they had run out of focaccia for example, I wish they would just have called us so we could have adjusted our order. Not even sure if that's the case or if they were just rushing in the kitchen and just threw everything on ciabatta but either way today was not a good day for Morano's.

They were all good sandwiches but I think the godfather was my favorite. Something I will get again. Tye place is. A tad dated but sometimes that's not a bad thing. Shows they are doing it right. The prices were very reasonable and I would say better than most. Meaning you don't have to take out a mortgage to buy lunch like other deli's. Going for another visit to see and try out other items. Overall- good so far Good job to the staff keep it up.
