Delicious goodies and bread. Amazing sandwiches and specialty items. Nicest family inthe world owns it! Been around forever. Always a stop when I go back to my hood as a kid.
Best eggplant perm sandwich ever!
Stepped in there for the first time today ... arrived at the pediatrician office a bit too early, so we went into Vesuvios. The owners were sooo friendly!
Bought some cookies, a sandwich, and some little rolls that had a meatball inside!! Delicious! Definitely plan to return!!!!
