Food Quality

Pros:

• "The best fresh mozzarella you will find in the state."
• "Every single sandwich at this place is the best version of that sandwich you've ever had."
• "The ingredients seem to be very high quality, but the meat was a little bit rare/undercooked."
• "Anything with mozzarella is good."
• "Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious and the 'mutz' was to die for."
• "The meat is perfected."
• "The roast beef was incredibly buttery soft."

Cons:

• "The taste was ok, would not go out of the way to get it."
• "The sand was just ok. Seemed like it had been sitting around, not fresh."
• "The meat was tasty but since they put very little sauce the bread was quite dry."
• "Beef was bland and bread was hard to eat."
• "Unseasoned roast beef, the jus was flavourless."
• "The bread wasn't special and I think the sandwiches can do with more garnishes and veggies and sauces to make it a real treat."
• "Sandwich was alright but I don’t think that it would be worth for half-hour waiting or half-hour-long travel."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Our total bill for 2 sandwiches was less than $20 and we were very full after eating them in a park nearby."
• "Definitely worth driving from Brooklyn."
• "The price is nothing to ignore, but you pay it for the absolute quality delivered here."
• "The sandwich is $20 (pretty steep) but it's big enough for two people."
• "Only thing is be wary that the price per sub is higher than subway. So bring cash and make sure to bring a hearty appetite for amazing subs."

Cons:

• "I must say it was a bit overrated."
• "I can only give this 3 stars! If your Italian this is place is not for you! Good for the American millennials who don't know any better. They have no tomatoes or basil in the store for a sandwich!"
• "Cash only and it's pricey ($19 for a whole sub) so bring plenty of cash if you're buying a few things."
• "I'm disabled and the only negative I can say was it wasn't ready, and I had to wait for it to be made."
• "I don’t think it was good enough to come from Manhattan and taste it."

Ambiance and Convenience

Pros:

• "The shop smelled delicious walking in."
• "Walked into this shop basically by chance without realizing I was about to have the best sandwich of my life. Cash only old school spot that makes you feel like you have gone back to a simpler time."
• "The atmosphere was great."
• "Old school unapologetic Italian style."
• "You can feel the history of the shop."
• "This place is excellent, it's a national treasure."
• "Place is located on the quieter side of Hoboken, thankfully they have their own parking lot which makes it a lot easier to quickly stop in and run out with some sandwiches."

Cons:

• "But there is no seating, so be ready for that."
• "There is no menu in here so know what you want before you order."
• "Parking suxs...nowhere to eat...but nice."
• "Everybody knows parking is tough in Hoboken."
