    I stumbled upon this nice boutique Italian deli in Holmdel, NJ. There's a small parking lot with few seatings available inside. The cashier was very helpful and friendly. The deli has a wide assortment of hot and cold food. They also do catering. You'll have difficulties deciding what to try. Their sandwiches cost $13 if you order a half-hero size, but for $3 extra, you can get a full-size hero. I ended up getting 3 different rolls and a riceball. I personally prefer their Philly cheese steak roll over the chicken vodka and prosciutto. Their rice ball was so-so. Overall, this was a nice place to visit. Price was decent, quality was good, and the portion size was a lot.

    Brand new Italian deli... Stopped in the other day to pick up lunch. This is a stand alone deli with a pretty good amount of parking outside. We ordered 2 sandwiches,one hot & one cold. For her, the Sea Bright. That was with fried eggplant, mozzarella, roasted peppers and a balsamic glaze on a roll. I chose the CPV on a half hero. That's with a chicken cutlet, prosciutto di parma, vodka sauce and melted mozzarella. A generous portion on both ends. Sandwiches only cost about $13. Unless you get a whole size which is $16. Daily soup specials for another $5. We chose the pasta fagioli and chicken noodle. One can dine in, they have 4 tables in the front or just sit by the window. I'll stress that this is a pretty large space. Service was great. The lady that works there was very helpful when asking about catering for our Christmas party. This makes #3 for Italian delis in my area. Welcome to the neighborhood. Enjoy.

    First time visit here for my wife and I. Very nice Italian deli with an wide assortment to choose from. I opted for there Holmdel sandwich which was shaved roast beef on the rare side. Shredded lettuce, thinly sliced American cheese and tomato slices. Complimented with horseradish mayo. My taste buds thoroughly enjoyed it. My had a stuffed philly cheesesteak roll. Also very tasty. Owners Marion and Mark now in business 10 months. We wish them much success and we will be back soon. If you're in the area definitely check them out!

    Phenomenal sandwiches !!!…read more The Steak & Cheese is my personal favorite. Also, the whole staff in the Deli makes you feel at home & welcomed. I drove from Providence, RI and when I am passing through Jersey. I always have to make a stop here at Taliercio's. I don't normally right reviews and I eat at many different great restaurants. Although, the way they took care of us, with either the food, feeding us extra stuff while we wait, or making sure we was good from the person making the sandwich to the cashier to the manager. Keep it up guys!

    My husband was dying to try this place after seeing the massive sandwiches on social media. The…read moreinside is a classic italian american deli. The ordering system in the store is a little unorganized, but par for the course with any good deli. You wait in a semi-organized group of people until a guy behind the counter calls next. Then you pay when your order is ready. We ordered a classic italian sub, a chicken vodka parm with broccoli raab, and a philly cheesesteak eggroll. On a relatively empty wednesday it took us about 20 minutes to place our order, and another 10-15 minutes until we paid and were out the door. This is not a quick pit stop place. The sandwiches are huge, but also pricey at ~$20-30 each for a half size. The cutlets on the chicken vodka parm were way too thick. Almost an inch thick! I prefer many thin cutlets. I don't even think they are sliced and pounded thin. The italian was decent but didn't blow us away. Eggroll was probably the best thing we tried. I don't think we'd go out of our way to come back.

They have a legendary deli counter loaded with subs, wraps, cheeses, soups, sauces, and their famous fresh-baked bread. The butcher counter is top-notch -- and you've got to try the chicken cutlets, they're some of the best around. Their fresh mozzarella is made daily, and the baked goods (bread, pastries, cookies) are always fresh and impossible to resist. They even have a well-stocked pantry section with all the Italian essentials -- from jars of their own house-made sauce to Antonio's pasta and more. You can even grab Nasto's ice cream for dessert! One of my favorite things about DeMARCO'S is their family dinners, which feed 4-6 people and make weeknights so much easier. I tried the Sunday Sauce Family Dinner and it absolutely did not disappoint -- hearty, homemade, and full of that comforting Italian flavor. And if you're hosting a gathering or event, their catering menu is enormous -- seriously one of the biggest and most impressive I've ever seen. Whatever you need, they've got it covered. DeMARCO'S is one of those places that feels like home -- friendly service, fresh ingredients, and food made with care. Congratulations to this Aberdeen staple on 50 delicious years... and here's to many more!

They also have a wide range of cold cuts and meats to buy. I purchased a chicken parmigiana sub which was excellent but I should have only purchased the half because the whole is a whole lotta sandwich. I will be coming back for more subs, breads, and other items.
