Meatball sub was tasteless. No seasoning, no texture probably frozen/artificial, sauce tasted like water. Very disappointing and non authentic

Fresh bread. Fresh salsa. Excellent cuts on meats. Reasonably priced $10 for a sub with a soda.
Hidden gym. Absolutely delicious and seating here.

Best subs in Newton

The sandwich was good but it was the slowest and grumpiest customer service I have experienced in quite some time. Not worth going back.

Simple, affordable, no-nonsense, delicious food.I feel I could happily eat the meatballs here everyday for the rest of my life. Just like mother makes, if not better (between you and me).

There was a version of the Lake that had a much different flavor 30 years ago. It was an Italian enclave, with a history that is very much different than the rest of Newton. Nonantum, or "The Lake," was the village with the oldest synagogue. It was right down the street from a Catholic church that, in my opinion, has an interior that has made me cry over the sheer artistic splendor of it.Tradition still plays a large part in this changing neighborhood, and it is finely displayed in this small sub shop on Watertown St. Like the old days, food prices were lower and food portions were a bit larger, and Guiseppe's does not try and overwhelm the customer with grandiose decor or expensive decorations, they are here to make you a sandwich or a salad.My honest recommendation is to go to Guiseppe's, and learn a little about the duality of this wonderful neighborhood. Sample the simpler part of the Lake and remember to leave a nice cash tip, because you're getting a lot of value out of the hard work of the owners!

My first time here, I ate my sub at the counter and a man spontaneously started talking to me about what life was like in this area back in the 80's. I feel like that's not something you see a lot anymore and it was very welcome. The sub itself was fantastic, and extremely generously sized, especially for only $8.75. I tip generously because it is deserved. An Italian sub made by an Italian man in the most Italian part of town of an already Italian city? The next time I want a sandwich, I'm coming here.
Very Satisfied, Meatball sub was Amazing, first time trying I loved it

So fresh. Best sub I ever had.

Delicious sandwiches made fresh. Generous portions, great prices. Highly recommend the Bird & Berry Turkey.

Definitely one of the best options in Newton. Bird and Berry sandwich is consistently great and the steak & cheese much better than the typical you'll find around here. Specials change frequently as far as I can tell, and the owner is friendly.
