Another delicious sandwich!!
Einas S.

So I find myself here again with another friend. Again another person who loved these sandwiches and dessert As usual the food was delicious and the wall of photos of people's Moms continues to grow. They have added gelato to their menu.

Floors, painted like true sidewalks from Italy

What a fun lunch experience. The owner, Nando is such a great guy. They can sense first timers, and wow they made us feel so special. We were provided samples of the bread and cheese. Nando LOVES to talk, and explain the food and his culture! Loved hearing the story behind these culetto sandwiches. Basically what I heard in America we call them an "ass" sandwhich. Hahaha basically take the butt of the bread and stuff it with goodness. You can dine in here, I personally call it take out spot, but again there are a few tables and chairs to eat in, which is what we did. I love a good meatball, so went with the meatball one. It did not disappoint. Loved ever bite, which is hard because the sandwhich is so big. There are two sizes choose, regular and colossal We went with regular which was great portion, only imagine what the colossal looks like. There are two choices of bread white or sourdough. Of course went with the sourdough. Delicious. My "butt bread" was stuffed well with cheese, sauce and meatballs. I wasn't able to eat it all there, by the end of night, after it sat OMG soooo good. The bread had really soaked up that delicious sauce. My mom made her own, which she stuffed with turkey and cheese. There was plenty of desserts, but unfortunately were so stuffed didn't try. But while we were there a couple came in just for them and bought tons. Told us favorite spot to grab dessert. I'll try some next time. I have to also speak on the "mother's wall'. Here Nando has over 100 pictures of mother's. Hear him talk about mother's and family in general was special. Hard come here and not feel like the family love.

Culetto and salad
Amy F.

Excellent meatballs combined with exquisite bread!!! Salad delicious but a little pricey.

Sfogliatella - Crispy layered pastry with sweet ricotta filling. Unique, fun, and tasty.

I ordered here for a work lunch after asking them "what's good in the Northtowns." Happy when they suggested we try something different. I ordered the night before through DoorDash. The consensus was a build-your-own culetto, which sounded right up my alley. The ordering process was easy, although there were a few differences between the restaurant's menu (found on Yelp/social media) and DoorDash (no wheat bread option and aged provolone was the only cheese available). One thing I appreciated: you could pile on multiple meats without an upcharge. Naturally, the dietitian side of me chose turkey. The food-lover side of me immediately regretted it. My work partner ordered the meatball version, and wow - those meatballs, the sauce, and that crusty bread were clearly the winning combination. The sandwiches were served in little soup cups to help hold what I can only describe as a "bread pocket." It was delightfully messy, involved a fair amount of crunching, and was absolutely worth it. The office also requested tiramisu, so I ordered a couple individual cups, along with a sfogliatella. If you've never had one, imagine the love child of a croissant and a pastry shell: dozens of delicate, flaky layers that shatter with every bite, surrounding a lightly sweet ricotta filling with hints of citrus and vanilla. It's crisp, creamy, buttery, and delicate. Overall, I'm grateful for this opportunity to something a little different. Next time, I'm skipping the sensible turkey and going straight for the meatballs.

This is meatball perfection in my favorite bread I have ever tasted. See for yourself

So, from the moment Maria and I walked in the door we were treated like family. A family with the best bakers and cooks in the world. Being new, Nando walked us through the menu and helped us understand everything. The ingredients are perfect. The bread made me want to forsake all other bread. My wife makes the best meatballs I have ever eaten. Maria and Nando shared this common connection of how they cook their perfect food. We were searching for amazing food in the area and we have found food heaven. The meats and cheeses and vegetables used to include the homemade relishes are beyond perfect. Nando has an amazing story and we hope to share it with you through a future podcast. Better yet ask him yourself when you come in. We came in as customers and left as friends.

Under the veggies is mortadella and cheese with olive oil and balsamic vinegar! Delicious!
Michelle C.

The sandwiches were amazing. Homemade Italian bread, when you walk in and place an order the owner is giving you samples of the bread and the meat. I had a sandwich with mortadella and cheese and veggies. It was absolutely amazing. My husband had a sandwich with the meatballs, which were so tender and delicious. The owner came by our table, made sure that we were happy, and made sure to say goodbye before we left and he has a wall of photographs of people's mothers honoring them! Everything was fresh and delicious and I can't wait to go back.

Create Your Own Culetto
Sara K.

In a nutshell: excellent and can easily recommend! I placed an order for the create your own culetto via the DoorDash app for pick up (one for me and one for my son) and it did not disappoint! I used a suggested option that is popularly picked by other customers, which was Roman meatballs and aged provolone inside of rustic white bread. It was $30 for 2 of them, which I found to be fair in comparison to other places that offer meatballs subs but also for their exceptional quality here! Upon entering Da Nando, there is seating. It's sort of the order at the counter and have a seat style from what it seemed. There aren't waitresses walking about or anything and it in any a big place. I approached the register area to pick up my order. Although both gentleman working were busy with other customers, one of them made eye contact with me and gave me a nice smile to acknowledge my presence which I appreciated. The other man finished up with his customer first and came over to help me. He was also kind, making eye contact and a smile. My order was ready, and when the other man heard I was doordash, he instructed they guy help me me to give me some sourdough on the house. He said "we take care of our doordash drivers"! I found this so very nice! Ironically, although I ordered this for myself and my son, I am actually a DD driver by occupation and very much appreciate this kind gesture! I've made 4000 deliveries and only one other time was offered a free food item so this very much stood out to me. And can I just say that sourdough bread was AMAZING?! I had actually been craving some for weeks now and this hit the spot. It was nice and crispy/flaky on the outside and so soft on the inside with that true sourdough flavor! My culetto was superb! The rustic white bread was of the same quality as the sourdough and held the sandwich together perfectly; no sogginess, no meatballs falling everywhere. I am very picky about meatballs and found these to be absolutely delicious! Not dry. Not too dense. Not falling apart. Sauce was good too and not too much to drown out any of the delicious flavor! And lastly, the aged provolone was excellent! This is another thing I am picky about. I can taste and feel in the texture of a cheese when it is way too processed and this was not. It had a perfectly sharp and aged taste that I love! I found the portion served to be a perfect size for a meal, but if you want more, there's a colossal size you can get for an up charge, or of course you can get a side (I think they have in house prepared chips, cannoli, etc). This place was two thumbs up from me and my son and I look forward to ordering more sandwiches here and maybe getting some more bread on a DD delivery in the future!

Bringing Mom's photo next time

OMG .. HEAVENLY... INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS PERFECTION in a sandwich!! We were merely hungry for a sandwich and decided to go somewhere new hurrying to beat their closing hour. Never imagining the experience we were about to have. It was the end of the day and the question was "first time?" When the answer was affirmative one of the guys (The owner perhaps.) said "let me make you a little sandwich to try this meat." He created in all its simplicity a massive bite of oh so good meat enhanced with some Provolone on a chunk of perfect homemade bread. By now you can guess that Da Nando's is going to be a regular spot (We've already showed photos and talked about this amazing " going for a sandwich" with several friends and I told my brother in Virginia that when he's up for a Bills game that we are going here.). The restaurant is comfortable and pleasant to dine in offering a few high tops and table. You feel comfortable. What really provided comfort were the three guys making the sandwiches. AND THE MEAT OH THAT delicious meat and cheese. They hand stuff the homemade bread (I chose rustic Italian) and soon you forget Main and Transit because you are transformed to Italy. They proudly talked about the MOTHER'S WALL ... "next time bring a photo of your mother in a 5x7 frame and we will put her on the wall while her favorite song is played." These guys are proud of their eatery. We were told next time to at least sample the meatballs and by the way Tuesdays are chicken cutlet day you have to try them but I don't think I want anything other than the amazing sliced meat stuffed in a perfect chunk of bread. I can't even begin to imagine what a large sandwich is. Spread the word ... keep these guys in business and they bragged on their desserts but we were so happy and full dessert was not on our mind. And to think we just wanted a sandwich never knowing we were headed to heavenly Italy!

Mind blowing!The Italian colossal, classic meatball,and 2 imported sodas. Dessert house made house made cannoli and lobster claw.
Lexy M.

Absolutely 100% phenomenal in every single way. It's so cute and welcoming inside. It's very clean and smells so good the second you open the door. Amazing friendly fast staff and owner! We were given samples of the delicious bread too. I ordered their famous meatball which blew my mind in presentation, flavor, smell, and texture. It's famous for a reason! My friend ordered their colossal which was perfect as well! Very good crispy crust bread! The Italian meats had so much flavor. The imported Italian sodas were freshening and paired well. The cannoli and dessert with candied citrus fruits were delicious as well. We highly recommend them.

Michelle A.

Great sandwiches with fantastic bread and great staff and owner who care about what they make and serve.

This place is incredible! The food is such high quality, imported from Italy. The two guys that own it are so nice and truly take so much pride in their food. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Please try it out and support this place! You won't be disappointed!

Regular Size Meatball Culetto
Patrick L.

This was a wonderful place. I had the regular size Meatball Culetto along with my wife. I had mine on homemade sour dough. Delicious! My wife had it on the homemade white and she loved hers as well. The meatballs are easily the best I have ever had. We each had a cannoli which was perfect. I highly recommend trying this. The staff is super friendly and it has a very nice European feel to it. You'll really like it.

DiBella's came highly recommended by some folks at our nearby hotel, so we stopped in to get some…read moresandwiches. This location is clean, staffed with friendly employees, and has plenty of free parking. Inside, it looks like an old school sub shop. Black and white floors and dark booths, with an open kitchen where the bread is baked fresh. I did find it strange that on a Friday night at 6 pm the place was completely empty, which would normally be a sign of either high prices or bad food. DiBella's had neither. The menu is very easy to understand and easy to customize. You pick your bread, your meats, your toppings, any sides, and pay. I went for the smallest size sub on wheat with turkey, honey mustard, lettuce and tomato. Classic and simple. Hubby got the bigger Italian sub on white bread. I also got a side of macaroni salad, because I absolutely love East Coast noodle salads. Our food came out fast and our orders were both correct. The small sandwich was perfect for me, but it would definitely be too small for those with larger appetites. My wheat bread was clearly overcooked and a little dry, which was a major disappointment. The turkey was like a processed turkey loaf which also let me down. I also didn't have enough mustard on my sub. Hubby didn't have any comments on the meats on his sub, but he said they weren't the best he'd ever had. He raved about his bread and the oil and other toppings. The macaroni salad was my favorite thing, it was tangy and sweet and delicious. I did think the portion size of the side was far too small. I'll definitely come back to DiBella's, but I'll try the white bread as well as different meat next time (or maybe just veggie and no meat at all). I found the quality of the deli meat lacking, which was a big disappointment. However, there's enough to like about the subs and the prices are more than fair, so they deserve another shot. Make sure you sign up for their rewards program. I downloaded the free app and got a free small sub for very little effort.

Just returned home after ordering 3 full size subs from Dibella's. We order from this location…read moresomewhat frequently and prior to today's order the subs have been consistent and enjoyable. Today's experience was disappointing. Most notable was that 2 of the subs actually had no meat on the the two end quarters and the third sub ( a meatball) seemed to be lacking in the amount of cheese usually included on the sub. Today's order has us considering searching for a new sub shop for our next order.

Avenue 29 has been around for a while at festivals, etc, and selling their house made spices sauces. On this visit, I ordered the Avocado Asian Bowl. It was so good! Loaded with fresh colorful ingredients . Remember. You eat with your eyes first! I got the toppings on the side. They included Asian soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, & house made spicy mayo. The combination added the perfect flavor to the dish. I also purchased a bottle of their house made Avacado lime dipping sauce and already tried it on chicken. Very tasty! Avenue 29 concentrates on plant based food with many vegan and vegetarian options but also offers items like chicken and seafood. Bonus. The owner, Nick (along with his wife), was super friendly and willing to talk about his business . Definitely will ge back to check out the rest of his menu. 2024-9
