    Less then half of huge Philly sub

    Food amazing service top notch and exactly what I would expect from a Maryland sub spot. Pictures below is what's left of my massive Philly and half of a small turkey sub. Would recommend this to anyone in search of authentic food and great service

    Great Hoagie! I will be back for a cheesesteak next! Augie and crew are awesome! I am taking some back to San Diego in a few days! I was born and raised in Delco, and have been missing great Hoagie, and Cheesesteaks! Love this place! 10 Stars!!!

    The originators of the Italian Hoagie! Awesome story and phenomenal hoagie. Meats, cheese, and veggies sliced fresh for each sandwich. Augie D. and his Staff were very friendly and the place was jamming. It's clean inside and there were even a few tables to eat at inside.

    WOW! You have to try this third generation steak shop! My husband and I stopped by after we landed in PHL. Easy to get to off 95, the sweetest and friendly owners, everything made custom to order. The quality of the steak is amazing! I am gluten free so got it without the bun but it's not missing any flavor! My husband got the works & he didn't make a peep while chowing down. They have a great selection of chips & drinks too! Will be back next trip!!!

    Vibes are Breaking Bad meets PA suburbs. Can't believe I've been eating Italian hoagies without hot or sweet peppers. Really good.

    Found Dicostanza Sandwich on Yelp and it was beyond great. A small Italian was nearly a foot. Compared to a Subway there is no comparison. The man that greeted me, made my sandwich and later came out to clean tables and asked me how it was is actually a 3rd generation grandson of the founder nearly 100 years ago. Price was reasonable for a lunch and when you compare the quality and amount of sandwich meat there is no way to brag enough about this place.

    BBQ Chicken Cheesteak

    Best chicken cheesesteak I ever had. I've had many others from top spots, but this one is easily the best.

    At least they have a good variety of soft drinks. Its more drinks next to here.

    Oh no, I did not forget to post my review on DiConstanza's, just been a little busy but now that I have more than enough time to express the experience I had...Disappointing. Always heard about their hoagies being so good and even when I pulled up to the shop I seen alot of ppl going in and out so you would assume that either "Yes, their still good" or they'll always be good by the looks of the traffic of customers. Ordered a small Italian hoagie which I have to say was a decent size for $8 and a little change. Smelled good and all but the first thing I noticed, the presentation was off. The hoagie looked like anybody could throw it together, wasn't looking appetizing. Ordered my usual Italian over the phone just so it could be quicker since it was always said it could take a while if ordering in the store. Extra mayonnaise, light onion, oil and oregano. Know that it was heard over the phone loud and clear cause my order was repeated to me and I confirmed. The best thing off this hoagie was probably the roll it was on cause it was soft, would be real good if the rest wasn't trash. My first bite wasn't impressing. The next bite wasn't then the next and so on. Kept biting trying to taste EXTRA MAYO but their was NONE at all. Honestly the onions were okay too I forgot to mention but the hoagie is basic as hell and taste like a grocery store could made a better one. Overall, no I wouldn't recommend this spot for a hoagie unless you or somebody's struggling with starvation. Maybe it was hype about here or they've lost their touch but I know Im really unimpressed and had way better. My first and last trip here Im sorry. Not even given them another try for a Turkey and cheese and that's not even hard to make. DiConstanza's appreciate the loyal customers you have cause after that performance I don't see how it's that many. Oh yeah I gave them 3 stars but it's really for 2 cause I just wanted to make sure this review is posted along with the good reviews cause lower star reviews aren't shown with the others.

    Italian Sub!! Just awesome!!
    Natasha L.

    Oh my!!!! One of the best subs I have had in my life!! I just started a new job in the area and was advised to try this place for a good sub and cheesesteak. They were right! I ordered 2 Italian subs and 2 cheesesteaks. The place is a staple in Delco and is well known. The service was fast and the price reasonable. The Italian Sub was soo good!! Full of meat and spiced perfectly! Cheesesteak was good as well. Word to the wise, get the smaller size if you are ordering for yourself!! The portions are HUGE AND THEY ARE GENEROUS WITH THE MEAT. Just writing this up I wanna cheesesteak from there.

The restaurant has a charming and casual vibe. Both gentlemen tending the floor are from Italy, adding an air of authenticity. You can choose to sit outdoors -- I really like the way the patio is arranged --or in the cozy dining room. Once seated, you're brought a plate of roasted peppers and a basket of hard rolls. I sprinkled olive oil and grated salt on the plate, which proved a good idea with the peppers and rolls. There were a number of appetizer specials, but we went with a basic Caesar salad. One order, pre-apportioned in the kitchen, was perfect for the two of us. I ordered branzino as an entree T, linguini Pescatore. The whole fish is brought out and fileted tableside. While I took a photo, it was just one unflattering shot of the head (which I'm not posting.) The branzino was mild and flakey, good, though the seasoning didn't break through the skin rendering it a little bland. Excellent grilled potatoes and vegetables completed my dinner. My husband's linguini was delish; while the pasta isn't made in house, it tasted like it could be, served al dente, of course. The tomato sauce was spicy enough to bring the dish over the top. Portobello is byob. (Another Yelper mentioned an $8 corkage fee, but unless they forgot to charge us, they disbanded the policy.) After our meal, with takeout box packed -- there was a lot of fish -- we were offered amaretto as a digestif. A nice touch! The restaurant isn't all that convenient to where we live but we enjoyed dinner enough to warrant a repeat visit. Next time I'll try something Italian. Or maybe salmon, which looked pretty good. Reservations suggested, particularly on weekends.

We didn't have reservations but were still able to sit outside on their enclosed patio with a tinkling fountain. We were delighted to find on a Wednesday that they were still having happy hour specials all day and even had a 3-course price fixed. My daughter and I loved the Gondola Ride with citrus vodka and limoncello. It was a refreshing, summertime drink. For the 3-course price fixed, we tried the lasagna noodle soup which was unique and delicious. My corn cappellacci (not on the price-fixed menu) was a new entree. The pasta was light and airy, and the corn and shrimp made it a tasty dish perfect for a summer night. For dessert, the gelato twist with banana was heavenly. Our lovely server even made sure to put a birthday candle in our daughter's dessert as it was her birthday. We'll be back!
