Five stars for Maternas Italian Market. This authentic Italian deli in Rutherford New Jersey has great food with real homemade taste. They welcome service dogs so my fluffy boy and I love this place. Highly recommend.

Matera's is one of my fave lunch spots. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff is kind and welcoming. and you can always expect and delicious and filling lunch or dinner when you go. They sell some italian gelato, pasta, and their homemade sauces. So many reasons to love and stop by this place.

What a great Italian grocery with a deli right on the bustling Park Ave thoroughfare. Conveniently located for a quick parallel park right off the main drag and a bite to eat with a bistro vibe, with tables inside (and outside on a nice day). I couldn't recommend this more for cold cut sandwiches. The prepared foods and catering options look amazing as well. Order from the nice woman behind the counter and she'll get started carving deli meats fresh to order or ship your order ticket to the back kitchen for hot sandwiches. Someone let me know what NOT to order because I'm trying these menu items one by one. Most popular sandwiches seem to be the M1 and the H7. Italian cold cut sandwich and chicken vodka parm sandwich. Yes, yes, and YES. FYI - service dogs only, per the sign posted on the door. Don't be like that one lady I witnessed that made the staff awkwardly ask her to not have her (clearly not a service) dog inside and then pretend not to know that it's against health code to have a dog inside a food establishmen.
