So glad I was introduced to this gem. High quality deli meats, true Italian cookies, super clean and friendly. The sandwich menu is somewhat limited except you can design your own. I ordered the Napoletano- fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, pesto, roasted peppers... superb!

Was excited about this place but the subs let down.

Got an italian and it was basically overpowered by the provolone and other than that it tasted...like not much. For me a good sandwich has the meat, cheese, lettuce, condiments, bread, etc. as almost as good alone as they are together.

In this case, I didn't feel that way. Any lettuce or onions or pickles that fell off were left there. Need more oil or vinegar or seasoning or something...

Went in with plans for a ham and cheese and the Muffuletta Sandwich caught my eye. It looked so beautiful I had to have it. It wasn't just as tasty as it looks... It was AMAZING! Everything here is awesome but I encourage you to try it next trip. Better yet, head there specifically for it. Look at that masterpiece!

The Muffuletta Sandwich is amazing!

I paid $48.59 for three large subs. I looked at the receipt and they had the nerve to charge me .25 cents for extra Mayonnaise that they put on the sub not in a cup. I won’t be going back there anytime soon. They lost our business of twice a week for .25 cents

Run quickly to Sclafani to try almost anything on their menu. Today's special was the premier of their chopped Itallian (I think that's it's official name). They'd gotten some coverage on a local news show which probably helped fill today's doors, but I've become a regular and they are always busy--but not too busy to have to wait long. The owners are named Rob and Cassandra, both of whom are trained chefs, which means their food is done so well! They bake their freaking bread fresh every single day, and it's wicked good. The chopped sandwich today was so amazing and was way better than some of the ones I've had which seem to dominate reels today. They had some kind of spicy crunchy garlic mayo which was fantastic and didn't overpower the meats. They don't pre-make these or any sandwiches, each made to order, which is so awesomely old-school. Their quality of deli meat and cheese is really exemplary, not grocery store Boar's Head. They have a great, but modestly sized, selection of imported Italian goods including fantastic olive oil, pastas, conservas like anchovies and even caponata! I also urge you to get a made-to-order cannoli, which was absolutely among the best I've ever had. The generous, sweet ricotta filling was thick, but not dense or cloying; we got pistachio and shared one, which was as strategic as slicing a brownie six ways, in the office, to reduce calories. Anyhow, I'm not on the payroll, nor even related, or I'd be there again right now.

We love this place. Every time we are in the area we grab something :) Store looks a little bit updated. Parking is not easy, there are only 2 x 15min parking spots. Or you can try lot in front of 7/11. Busy street.

I had better sandwiches, maybe with better cheese choice and less onion. But it's always worth driving to Gloucester just to visit and enjoy one of your special sandwiches.

Pastries were really good, I really enjoyed their biscotti. And they were really friendly.
