    Worst looking cutlet in the world

    Come on, there's almost no Italian deli that makes a decent sandwich anymore. That cutlet is wet and hasn't been crisp since last week. What the hell? Why doesn't anyone give a damn anymore. All I want is a good sandwich. This is New Jersey, come on!

    My homemade lasagne. Everything from Massimo except the ground beef.

    it's been almost ten years since I last reviewed Massimo Deli in Kenilworth. I still shop here on a regular basis, and if there is a better Italian deli in the area, I haven't heard about it. They do a very big lunch sandwich business. Actually, I don't like their Italian sandwich rolls, they are very crusty on the outside. Like break your teeth or cut the roof of your mouth crusty. I do, however, love their sliced to order Imported cold cuts. My regular choices include their peppery prosciuttini ham, rich mortadella, aromatic sliced provelone cheese, and fabulous hard salami. They have a very artful way of slicing the cold cuts paper-thin, and at an obtuse angle for maximum flavor. I also love their homemade ricotta, mozzarella, fresh romano cheese, roasted peppers w/garlic in oil, and stuffed olives. Although it's not Italian, they also make a really good potato salad. Their homemade sausage is very good, too, although I actually prefer the Italian sausages at the Union Pork Store, another gem of a place. Of course, Massimo has a large selection of imported packaged foods and artisan dried pastas from Italy, higher quality than anything you'd find in a supermarket. Also canned and jarred delicacies, olive oils and balsamic vinegars, even an assortment of packaged snack cakes from Italy. Massimo is a great food resource if you love to cook Italian food, or just want to pick up some pre-made entrées from their freezer case.

    A classic Italian delicatessen. Their sandwiches are outstanding - exactly what you would expect. The Mozzarella Cheese is excellent, I usually get a sandwich that features their cheese.

    Roast beef and Swiss cheese with the works.

    Will definitely be back here! Authentic Italian deli with everything you'd ever want. I tried a sandwich with very thinly sliced sopressata that is sliced to order, sharp provolone and broccoli rabe. Huge & delicious sandwich! Pasta next!

    #21 Massimo Special Sub 6 inch Prosciutto, capicola, salami, sopressata, mozzarella and long hot peppers. You cant go wrong with this one. This is a really good local Italian deli in Kenilworth. I go here all the time because its always fresh and delicious. I have also ordered from their catering menu for special events numerous times and my guests always rave about the food. For catering its free delivery in Kenilworth, and they will even set it all up for you.

    Pretty tasty and authentically Italian sandwich. Fresh ingredients separate this sandwich from your everyday Jersey subs.

    Quick in and out to get milk, "quick in and out to get milk" couldn't help perusing the periphery…read moreof the entire store aka refrigerated and frozen sections. Delighted at the selection of products. Non-perishable Kosher section was abysmal (laughable) as is typical. BUT while browsing the frozen section for a delicious kosher treat I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon something I was convinced to be an Ikea exclusive, the almond chocolate caramel daim cake! That cake is delicious and at only $6 an amazing deal. The prices at lidl are very affordable, only one employee in the entire store that I saw last night at around 8pm. Shout out to that employee hustling to check everyone out while also monitoring the self check out, you deserve a raise sir.

    I stopped into the Union Lidl for a few groceries recently. I usually shop at a different location,…read morebut was already on Route 22 running errands. My experience was pretty good. I found what I needed, and the produce was in good shape and was fresh. I also found some deals in the Lidl Middle aisle - cute, reusable handwarmers and food containers. Reading other Yelp reviews, I suspect there may be a difference in the experience for shoppers in the morning and those at night. I was there in the AM, probably within the first hour it was open. Note: The Union Lidl sells alcohol. I was surprised to see this. This section is along the wall furthest from the entrance.
