fried eggplant, fresh mutz, roasted rep peps and balsamic
Steven C.

5th visit, had to leave a great review...place is always super clean, the gentleman at the counter is always friendly and his sandwiches are top notch. I usually go for mortadella and fresh mutz, this time I got the fried eggplant w fresh mutz and it was outta this world

Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers
Carlos Q.

What can I say about this jewel other than "you will not be disappointed" the quality of their sandwiches are to take the time and let everyone know. Talking about quality and quantity ! At minimum half a pound of fresh mozzarella per sandwich maybe more!! Great food!!! Know what they're doing and the prices are great in comparison with the food and quality of. Friendly service; next time I'm around Clifton, NJ I would visit again!!

Eggplant cutlet
David John A.

Hands down one of the best salumeria's in the Clifton area and possibly North Jersey. I grew up in Hudson county my whole life and just moved out west to Clifton. Delis like Vito's and Fiores in Hoboken, and De Palma Bros (RIP) in Fairview were some high caliber Italian eats, Il Posto gives them a run for their money. Michael, the owner keeps a very tidy space, everything is clean and organized, the cases display daily made seafood salad, arancini, pasta salad and some other staples. The cold cases contain imported Italian drinks, sodas and desserts. I've had just about every sandwich here, chicken cutlet, eggplant cutlet, Italian combo, hot roast beef, grilled chicken, and grilled eggplant. Was not disappointed in a single sandwich, honestly if you just picked something randomly from the menu, chances are it's delicious. Also, pro tip if they have meatloaf for sale, buy it. Served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes, it is hands down some of the best meatloaf I've ever had. For only being in business for two years Michael and his staff are crushing it, wishing them continued success in serving the community. Salud!

Was in the area looking for an Italian deli to try out and came across this place. The food was amazing, so was the ambiance and the staff was extremely kind and attentive. I got the chicken vodka parm sandwich. The wait was short and everything was made fresh to order. I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area.

Vegan Il Posto Signature Sandwich
Kevin D.

I experience good customer service during my visit; an employee easily points me to a Vegan option on the menu, a Vegan Il Posto Signature Sandwich (7. Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Portobello Mushroom, Roasted Peppers, Artichokes & Arugula), and the employees are very friendly. The sandwich tastes wonderful ESPECIALLY due to the ingredients being on such good bread which absorbs the drippings (oil, vinegar, etc.) in such a non-messy-let-me-boost-the-good-flavor kind of way (does the bread have a mind of its own?). If I'm hungry in the area again, I'm glad to know I have a tasty Vegan sandwich near. The establishment has indoor seating (decent size tables for two, maybe three) and accepts different forms of payment.

So glad to have found a good deli on this side of Clifton. My husband and I are new to the area and still feeling out the food situations here. We're originally from Weehawken and would go to Fiore's and Antique Bakery in Hoboken all the time. The guys here are also super friendly and the place is immaculate. They don't skimp either. **Hot roast beef and their gravy plus roasted red peppers is my new jam.

Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches
Cassie P.

I want to give this place a good review because I've been a customer so long. I used to suggest it to people a lot but it's to the point where the people I'm suggesting it to keep trying to go on their normal business hours and they are closed. Which it's true, they are randomly closed a lot. I think they also unplug their phone line when they're busy. Aside from all that, the prices are ridiculous now. I understand it's quality but how can you expect someone to pay a little over 30 dollars for two sandwiches???? And then on top of it, they had run out of bread right before so they sent someone to the store to pick up bread so my sandwiches were on tough Italian baguettes from shoprite. I was very disappointed as i come here and lot and it's not extremely expensive

Hot Roast beef sandwich with fresh mozzarella
Eric M.

Stopped by for the first time. It's Right next to a nice seafood pickup joint I like. Front desk lady recommended the hot meat loaf sandwich with mozzarella and brown gravy. I let her know I was gonna order it but she gave me a sample of roast beef and freshly made mozzarella anyways on a plate. Pretty much made it too easy for me to confirm after tasting that I was making the right decision. Plus I love free samples to taste. Sandwich was like 12 bucks but fully stacked. No skimping here. Meat was tender, cheese barely has a pull in texture and has the right amount of salt and dairy taste. The not too thick brown gravy just makes it just right. I ended up ordering a pound of fresh mozzarella sliced to go for a family get together later. I'm sure they will all ask where it was from after. Two nice guys running the joint too. Check em out!

Crab Cakes

One of my favorite take out places in the area. Very generous portions and friendly staff. The seasoning and flavors are fantastic and they make their own mozzarella!! It is a must try!!!! We've been ordering several times a week recently because it is just so good!!

Crab cakes dinner

See all

The Brookdale 1099 Broad St…read more Bloomfield NJ 07003 The Big Cheese A member from my group page tipped me off about this location because I am currently working on a compilation reel about oversized menu items. This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors. I am truly sad to hear they will no longer be in business, but their three sister restaurants at 1109 Broad Street will still remain open. #thebrookdale #thebigcheese #bloomfieldnj

If you've seen their giant mozzarella stick online, yes it is good and worth it! I ordered the big…read moremozz and a shrimp vodka pizza ; Both were real good but too much cheese for the two of us!!! Maybe a salad with the mozz stick woulda been better! Service was good and the restaurant with low lighting was a good vibe! Its split into a half bar and half dining area which i liked. Only complaint i can think of is they didnt have many options of beer on tap as they advertised on thier menu. Overall good experience would recommend!

I am writing to share details about a disappointing dining experience my sister and I had at MEAL…read morelast night (January 10, 2026). We had high expectations for your restaurant, given its reputation, and the many times we frequent your establishment. However, unfortunately, several issues arose that significantly impacted our evening. We arrived for our reservation and began at the bar with a drink before moving to our table. (2-glasses of bar wine) We sat at the table and then ordered a second glass of wine, which took approximately 15 minutes to arrive--despite the restaurant appearing relatively quiet after 7 PM with only a four-tables occupied. When we inquired at the bar, we were told there were no glasses available, which should have been addressed proactively. Additionally, when reviewing the menu, we did not see a ribeye listed on the menu. We asked the server if there was one available. Our server explained that a ribeye was available for $85. We proceeded to order it (along with a salad, as no other green vegetable options like spinach was available). However, the server later clarified that the $85 price referred to a different steak, and the ribeye we received was priced at $199. This was at the time we received the final bill. This misunderstanding was not clearly communicated upfront, leading to confusion and total disappointment! To make matters worse, when the steak arrived, it appeared totally undercooked (essentially raw in the center), and by the time we addressed it and attempted to proceed, our accompanying mashed potatoes had gone cold. The meat never tastes correct when recooked after bring sliced!!!!!Overall, we felt the service and communication was unacceptable, leaving us confused and terribly dissatisfied. As the owner and chef, is well respected I wrote to him only to find no reply at all. No manager was available on-site to assist us at the time. It is clear the restaurant is failing as there were three tables on Saturday night at 7:00 pm.
