I only had a bite of the CS, but it was creamy, saucy, and well balanced. I got the Last Meal, which had fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and mounds of meat from all over the animal kingdom and would easily give PETA a heart attack. Even though it was a protein wall, it was surprisingly not overwhelming. I enjoyed every bite and was able to substantially make 2 meals out of it. Service: Typical New York attitude. You'll feel a bit rushed but very neighborly Ambiance: With plentiful hanging cured meats and counters of delicious Italian side dishes, this place is clean but traditional.

My daughter and I were heading to the Bronx Zoo and I was craving a solid Italian sandwich. A quick…read moreYelp search for the best sandwiches in the Bronx led us right to Joe's Italian Deli. All in all, it's a great spot, and I can definitely see us coming back the next time we're in the area. The interior is classic Italian deli market, lined with shelves fully stocked with great Italian cooking staples. It's a classic, perfect neighborhood deli setup that gives you that local little Italy vibe. The Italian sandwich was really good--packed with ham, cotto salami, and mortadella, with incredible, well-balanced flavors. All on a tasty sesame seed soft roll. Even my daughter, who isn't usually a sandwich person, took a few bites! Prices are fair for what you get. The sandwich was so large, we saved 1/2 to eat in the Zoo later in the day. The staff was solid--helpful and kind. I was a little sad we didn't get the fresh mozzarella samples that a lot of Yelp reviews mentioned. The other minor downside was the wait: it took nearly 15 minutes to get our sandwich, which is probably the longest I've ever waited for an Italian sub. Still, a great overall experience. More importantly, the price to value "mathed!"

Italian pop songs played in the background. All materials--pasteries, prosciutto, pistachio cream filled cannolis--are imported from Italy. Even the cafe table tops sport mosaics the type of which are common along the Almafi coast. No need to talk about the coffee; I don't drink that stuff. My friend, a coffee fanatic, said it was very very good. I stick to tea--and I love that they serve it with style. My own little tea pot on a little tray. It is just astounding how quickly Emiliano's has become a neighborhood institution and a go-to place for wonderful Italian treats. EVERBODY goes there, and everyone is made to feel like family. Go for the fabulous food, drinks, and goodies. Stay because it's Italy in you back yard.

It was an amazing sandwich--the mozzarella was so fresh and all the flavors melded well together. Great crunch of the ciabatta crust and the bread was fluffy inside. Portion size was also great for a $12 sandwich. Highly highly recommend. The shop has a lot of Italian imported goods and it was fun to look at the variety of things too.

From the moment we walked in, it was all that I wanted- reminiscent of the Italian shops and delis my parents would take me to when I was a kid. The ambiance told me right away that the sandwich I sought (the 'Casa') was going to be good....as did the two guys in line ahead of me, one who went so far as to say it would be life changing. Service was great- super helpful and patient as we perused the counter. Wanting to be thorough () we ordered two Casa's....one on Ciabatta, and one on a hero. First off....both bread vehicles were incredible. The hero was crunchy on the outside, perfectly soft on the inside, while the ciabatta was perfectly thin (allowing you to fully enjoy all of the fresh, delicious ingredients), with a golden crust. Just perfect. Oh yeah- the ingredients.... The Casa is filled with perfectly sliced prosciutto, house made mozzarella, sun dried peppers, and balsamic glaze. The balsamic tied everything together beautifully and was a wonderful touch to the sandwich, while the mozz....well...I'll say this... If you ask 10 people on Arthur Ave who makes the best Mozzarella around, and a good number of people are going to tell you it's Casa Della. And I'm here to tell you that their Mozzarella is the truth. It's delicious, creamy, flavorful...it's the kind of stuff that will have you standing in front of the establishment, Casa in hand (and mouth) without a care in the world, or whether or not people are staring at you while you scarf or down. It's that good. Also- prices are extremely reasonable, and you receive a ton of value for your dollar. Casa Della Mozzarella is not just the Casa. They are a fully loaded market and deli, loaded with everything you need, whether for a quick lunch on the go, or to supply dinner or your fridge at home. Definitely a can't miss, must check out spot.
