Caesar Wrap with grilled chicken
Sydney S.

I ordered online pickup, quick and easy to get. I got the Caesar Wrap with grilled chicken and it was delectable! Great romaine/chicken/crouton/dressing ratio. I also got a good vibe from the place from seeing others enjoy their lunch. I will definitely be returning to try something new!

Drunken Parm is to die for! We have been here 4 times now, this place does not disappoint. Make sure you follow them on instagram to see their specials beforehand... That's how I gage my walk or run speed!

Well I found a new lunch option while working in the office! Stopped in at Mama Rao's yesterday for the first time and thought it was awesome. So many choices! I ordered the sausage and peppers sandwich to go. The bread slightly toasted , filled with sausage and orange and yellow peppers tasted great! I'm already thinking of what I'm ordering next time. There are tables inside for dining, but on a beautiful day like yesterday, Lurker Park is right up the street and the option of sitting outdoors eating that sandwich was a good choice!

Serious Yummers Are Coming Outta Mama Rao's Kitchen and That's a Fact People Let Me Tell Ya!! Everything in here looks absolutely amazing from loaded Breakfast Sandwiches which are served up from 9am to 11am, Classic Italian Dishes, Hot & Cold Super Sandwiches, Salivating Salads, Wraps, Wings, I mean You Name It They Got It and They Ain't Afraid To Feed It To Ya!! Lol   When Food Quality, Service, and Convenience have all been met and have exceeded the customer's expectations all that's left to do is sit back and enjoy the outstanding meals that We're gonna share from this excellent spot. By the way Lunch is served up during the week from 11am until closing which is 5pm. Looking forward to stopping by again and again and again. Me and Mama Rao We Got A Thing Going On And I Don't Care Who Knows IT!! Hahaha Come And Get Your Munch On!!

I always look forward to coming here. The food is fantastic. Sometimes it's for lunch and at other times to pick-up something for dinner whe I'm not cooking.. Mama Rao's Kitchen is a specialty deli offering Italian cuisine. The East Hanover location is one of two, the other is located on 11th avenue in Brooklyn. Most of their business is take-out and catering with a few tables set opposite the service counter for indoor dining. This review is about lunch, Mama Rao's has a steady flow of customers but lines move quickly. They know their business and execure it efficiently. I ordered the "Chef Angela" 7'' sub ($10.99) which consisted of imported Mortadella, provolone, hot cherry peppers, lettuce & tomato with a vinaigrette. It was delicious. They have a 12" ($13.99) "Chef Angela" but even though I'm 6'1" and 210 lbs, the 7" is enough for me. They do not skip on the ingredients including the meat and quality cheeses. The bread here is a star. It is homemade and baked daily. It has a crunch on the outside and a lightness inside. Their large menu includes a sub sandwich option they call build your own which I like.

Not much to talk about food was very expensive. Some of it looked a little dried out probably wouldn't take another ride over here.

It…read morelooks like a dive from the outside (I say this with the most respect, because some of the best food comes from "dives") but it is a no frills essentially side of the road deli with quite an extensive menu. The staff I encountered were friendly & patient, which is shockingly not the norm these days! I ordered the tuna melt & fries & took a seat at the counter. I was the only one sitting along the counter, but there are also a few tables in the back that had parties at them. My food was ready relatively quickly & was served to me with a smile. The fries were of the steak cut variety, which aren't my favorite, but no fault of the delis - just my personal preference. They were cooked well & served hot - can't ask for much more! The tuna melt was actually a sandwich & not an open faced sandwich, as they tend to be, and I found that to be a pleasant surprise. Open faced tend to get soggy quickly. The tuna was aplenty & it was delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted & buttery as well. I do wish it was served with a pickle spear, though. Not sure if that's the norm & mine was forgotten or if it is not served as such. Either way, I'm obviously grasping at straws. Otherwise, it was a delightful lunch. I'm happy to have discovered The Cutting Board & even happier they are in the immediate area of my job, I will definitely be back to try more.

I've stopped here to pick up lunch literally hundreds of times over the past 30 years or so. Sorrento's is as good now as the first time I went there, probably even better! The sandwiches here are outstanding! The quality of the ingredients is first rate and the prices are very reasonable. There's plenty of salads and soup here to go with the sandwiches also. The stars of the show here for me though are the bakery items. Whether it's the cakes, donuts, or pastries, I've never had anything here I didn't like. Some favorites for me are the Napoleons, Lobster Tail, Linser Tarts, and Black & White cookies. My wife loves the Red Velvet Cupcakes and the Cannolis. The Thanksgiving pies from here are always a huge hit. If you haven't been to Sorrento's Bakery, check it out. I'm planning on stopping here for many more years!
