“All the energy is there! The season in the kitchen bangs with the beat of the Christmas music over its intercom system. The chefs are bright red in a tight sled with their passion for the food they make. All the locals know! This is the “go to” for a lunch work break and or the wine up from the daily grind. You won’t be disappointed here.“
“Super deli. About an hour north of the city for anyone headed that way. It's a really great stop. They made us awesome sandwiches made to order. Super friendly. Super fast service as well. One of the best delis anywhere in the area for sure.“
“I've lived in the area for approximately 40 years and recently have rediscovered this deli. The food is great! The women that work there are always very friendly and pleasant. And they remember my order! Best egg sandwichs in Brewster... their homemade Italian dried sausage is spot on... reminds me of when I was a child living in Eastchester and we would get our stuff from Arthur Ave. ❤️????? Also they had St. Joseph's pastries from the Bronx!!“
“If you're going to get a flat tire, I strongly recommend that you get one on NY-22, right in front of this deli, as I did. The staff are lovely (a man and his mother) and speak Italian to one another. They make their own mozzarella, soup, and at least some pastries, if not all. Cannoli are filled to order and excellent. Another pastry (crostata?), cut into squares with a shortbread-like crust, cherry jam and chocolate was even more spectacular and something that I *must* come back for. The man told me it was homemade. The sfogliatelle pastry was a little tough and stale, but the thick, ricotta-rich filling was delicious. To be fair, these things have a very short shelf life. I gave it a few minutes in the toaster oven when I finally made it home and the texture was far improved. The son patiently answered my questions [e.g. how to properly pronounce "sfogliatelle," how much the fresh mozzarella costs (about $11 / lb)] and the mother kindly warmed up some pasta e fagioli for me. Sandwiches seem to be the focus here -- the menu is vast! -- but I sorely needed the warm-you-from-the-inside-out comfort of soup at that moment. The rich broth full of red beans, potatoes, and carrots absolutely hit the spot. It's too bad that it took a flat tire to get me in this place. We've been driving by for years and have clearly been missing out all this time!“
