My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza.

“Such a great little local Italian grocery and sub shop with old school charm. The owner was very friendly. Fresh food made daily! I had a delicious chicken salad sandwich. Will definitely return to this Italian gem next time im in the area.“

“I have raved about Fulciniti's since day 1. (many years ago) I always enjoy their meatball and the pastrami is to die for. I recommend to everyoné that this is the best sandwich shop around.“

“This restaurant was a highlight of a wedding trip to the Boston area. Mia was our server and she was incredible. If she was in the Philly area, I would try to poach her for my hotels. We wer e party of 6, including 2 ravenous nephews. For apps we had Meatballs, Fritto Misto and Arugula Salad - all delicious. Entrees were Lasagne, Grilled Lamb Chops and Orchiette, Chicken Parm and Rigatoni. I would never order Lasagna at a restaurant but the person that ordered it was raving about it and made me try it. The sauce was something that should be bottled and sold - it's so good. The portions were generous and every one of us loved our food. I wish we had more time in the Waltham area because I could have eaten my way through the entire menu.“

“Called at 8:45 p.m. to ask if it was too late to get a pizza. The guy said that I could order one. Got the large cheese pizza on his recommendation. The pizza is awesome and it was really awesome that they prepare to pizza for me so close to closing. I called other places and was told that I could not order that close to closing. Awesome place.“

“I love this place. They’ve been my go to sub place for years now, and the quality is only rivaled by how kind, friendly and just down right sweet the staff are. I never have any issues with the food or the delivery being correct, it’s always speedy, and it feels like someone made the food with care. I highly recommend supporting this business.“
