Turkey and ham
Allia K.

This is a little sandwich shop I came across. First timer and it was very good. The customer service is great. The gentleman that helped me was very nice and was more than willing to substitute certain meats on my sandwich. It is a small shop so more so of a grab and go. The hero was very good that I would def come by again and try another one of their options.

Very solid sandwich shop. They have a wide variety of options to choose from - im not sure if they do custom sandwich's but would imagine so. I asked about the most popular sandwiches and was told about the belly buster. It did not disappoint. Very packed. Was made on the spot and was delicious. Sandwich is large so a half would be enough for one person.

I can only review one sandwich from here, since I've only ordered one'. Lol The roast beef, mozzarella and gravy is delicious delicious delicious!! Went back 2 more times just for this sandwich!!

This is half a #4 (Hot Italian) sub
William C.

This is a nice little sandwich shop on Franklin Ave in Nutley. The service is friendly and boy, they know how to make a sandwich! The hot Italian sub (#4) is great, with lots of meat and cheese with just the right roll and consistency. And they have specials: The Hoboken (Wed & Sat) has hot roast beef, gravy, and fresh mozzarella. The Pink Pig (Mon & Tue) is a pulled pork and cheddar cheese sandwich. There are other special sandwiches available daily including a vegetarian option. Neither my wife nor I could finish more than half a sandwich, they are very large. Side salads are nice, we liked their potato and tortellini salads. This is on my list of places that I am willing to drive over 20 minutes to get to for the food. Highly recommended.

This is worth the trip no matter where you are I'm glad I drove around I went to three places and had sandwiches made and told the people I'm not buying it after I saw them make it this place is awesome I highly recommend

Prosciutto & Mozzarella

I feel like great sandwiches now are really are to find in the area but boy am i glad i found this place because it was amazing. First and most importantly in my opinion, the service was great. The people working there are super friendly and created us as we walked in. They provided us with there specials and were open to any questions we had. We ordered an Italian sub and a prosciutto and mozzarella sub with specific topics. It was perfectly made and tasted so so fresh! So happy i found this place will become a regular!

Hoboken Sandwich on Wednesdays and Fridays....can't wait to try it
Mylene T.

Once you walk in you are greeted immediately with a smile and such awesome service. First time here....well be prepared for all the wonderful suggestions they offer. All you see were the funkiest sandwich names that were nicely written on a big gigantic chalkboard. It's a small place but while you wait for your sandwich to be made....they have tons of autographed celebrity pics to your left to look at and explore other specialty sandwiches they carry for your next visit. Check out their soda fridge....lots of varieties to choose from which are made by them. Rae Lyn was nice enough for me to try their chocolate egg cream soda....I honestly thought I wasn't going to like it but she wasn't kidding when she said....if you like chocolate this won't disappoint you and she was on point. I also ordered the Larry David....hot pastrami (great amount of meat) with provolone cheese and their special hero king sauce...similar to thousand island dressing but had a nice kick to it. I ordered a 1/2 and only could eat half of it and ate the rest 4 hours later and it was delicious!!! Bread was so fresh along with the meat. It's funny too because my husband went there after I told him I came to finally visit and got the same thing lol. So what to know: - Street parking only....have quarters for the meters if coming for the day...they don't accept dimes or nickels - The famous sandwiches are written in orange on the chalkboard - They have their own Hero King soda flavors - Bread is soft and so fresh and so good - Meats are freshly cut when ordered - 3 locations (Nutley, Newark, and Point Pleasant) - They are very generous with their meat...I mean very generous - Hoboken Sandwich are only on Wednesday and Saturdays which includes roast beef, fresh mutz and gravy Hero King has great staff. Rae Lyn, John, and Nick told me how they don't precut the meat when ordered to keep the sandwich fresh which definitely is a true fact. So happy I found this place because they are up to par when I have a taste for Tastee's in Edison, NJ which is way too far for me to travel....so happy to have found my "Hero King".....you guys rock and you'll definitely see me around again very soon!!!

Words cannot describe the amazing experience we had at Mamma Vittoria November 8th…read more We celebrated our 21st year Anniversary in this beautiful place, and had the most amazing stress free time. Nella, a delight to work with, really an amazing person with a beautiful heart. She definitely went above and beyond for us and did a fantastic job making sure we were taken care of leaving us with every reason to brag about our event. The service was exceptional! The whole team at Mamma Vittoria made sure to accommodate our every need as well as my guests. Laura was fantastic throughout the night along with Joanna and Samuel. All three were very observant & attentive to our guest, well organized, and just so sweet. The cocktail hour & dinner was great, everything tasted just as perfect as it looked, the portions were very generous, everything was freshly made and seasoned well. We kept hearing all night about how good everything was especially the calamari's, the seasoned potatoes, the moist flavorful chicken and so much more. Everything went so well that day, absolutely perfect and we owe it all to Mamma Vittoria and their staff. They truly go above and beyond to make sure their guests are relaxed and having an amazing time. If you are looking for a place to celebrate any event, go check Mamma Vittoria, I highly recommend them for any event. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for giving us a night we will always remember!

From the beginning of the process, Scott was responsive and worked with our schedule for the tasting. We were able to make a selection from many dishes and after trying their food we were sold! Especially the NY strip steak with bleu cheese! We received so many compliments on the food and many of our guests even went to compliment the kitchen team themselves! The Balinese chicken turned out to be my favorite, but they were all amazing! They made way more than enough food for everyone and brought containers for our guest and us to take the leftovers home. We love not wasting food! With our budget, we were thinking we could only get a decent caterer, but we lucked out with LDV. They are without a doubt one of the best in the business! They catered to our needs and even made suggestions on how to reduce cost. In our case we brought our own drinks for their bartender to serve, which helped reduce cost. This turned out amazing and our bartender, Mark, helped make it a smooth and tipsy night for our guests! Last but not the least, their service was top-notch. They helped with the buffet so people there would be no crowd and made sure everyone got their food in a timely manner and even made plates for my husband and I so we didn't need to take the time! We were ecstatic with the service and it was one of the smoothest parts of the entire wedding. 5-stars all-around.

My wife & I are both retired & foodies. We Love to eat All Kinds of cuisines, be it a restaurant,…read moreDelicatessen, Diner, etc. I was in the mood for a Good Sub/Hoagie about 3 weeks ago so I Googled, "best sandwich shops" & Vilardo's came up on my search along with other establishments. Since they are only a few blocks from where I live decided to give them a try. So let's get started. CONS --- Entryway Front Step Very High with NO Railings. I'm over 70 and use a cane, so it was difficult for me to manage that step, but I did. Other than that No other cons. PROS --- Overall the place has a comfy atmosphere. There's an area for those patrons who prefer to dine in. Their menus are clearly posted w/pricing. They have a deli case with various salads Macaroni, Potato, Coleslaw, Pasta, Tuna, etc. which you can peruse while waiting in line. The place is Clean, the employees very Hospitable, and the food is Fantastic!! They DO NOT SKIMP when preparing your sandwich, salad or entree. Pricing is Extraordinary. If this had been any other Deli, I'd have paid at least $10-$15 dollars more. Since my original visit I've been back 2 times. I plan to try a different sandwich on each future visit I can safely say It will be a Long Long time if ever, before I go to a "Jersey Mikes", or "Blimpies," again. I've NEVER eaten at Subway, & Never Will! There are 2 or three other Deli's/Sub Shops that I like and will continue to patronize along with Vilardo's.

Stopped into Vilardo's Deli for lunch and ordered the Chicken Cutlet #4. What a sandwich. Crispy…read morechicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, roasted red peppers, and a balsamic glaze which brought everything together just perfectly. The bread was fresh and had just the right crunch. Service was quick and efficient, parking was easy, and the location is super convenient. Sometimes the simplest lunches end up being the best. This was one of them. I'll definitely be back for another.
