Nice small IItalian in the heart of East Hanover. Stopped in for lunch during the rush. While parking lot seemed a bit small. Was able to park with no issues. Lots of great menu items to choose from. Ended up getting the Spice Spice Baby Chicken Cutlet (Stuffed Long Hots, Hot Stuffed Peppers, Pepper Jack Cheese & Spicy Olive Oil)
Admittedly, made a rookie mistake and took sandwich home vs. devouring it there. That’s on me and cant fault them for my mistake. Needless to say. It was still tasty by the timeI got home, and put away my groceries. Definitely would enjoyed it more had I eaten there.

Italian specialty spot, small parking lot out front, several small tables inside, breakfast and lunch, lots of great sandwiches (TONY was great), plus hot dishes that vary daily, and a frozen section to bring home dinner too. Lots of drink options, desert, sauces, definitely worth a stop!!

Italian/deli. Delivery order was quick and efficient, they had a good selection on the sandwich plate, people really liked the chocolate chip covered cannolis, and the eggplant parm was ok, but not cheesy enough.

There is anything but your average deli, they have all your classics, but they have some extra special stuff too!
The empanadas were actually pretty crazy. I had the sausage and pepper, and the chicken vodka, Parm, which was extraordinary! I love a good home made vodka sauce ! They also have other things in the market for purchase, from bread to homemade pasta!

Mama Rao’s Kitchen is a hidden gem. Coworkers and I have always ordered from there but I’ve never stopped in until today. Soon as I walked in I realized why the food is so good. My go to is the Amalfi Coast Chicken cutlet sandwich. The key is swapped out the roasted peppers for their sun dried peppers(picture added). It’s the perfect cutlet sandwich. And if you like jalapeno, their stuffed jalapenos are where it’s at. If you’re thinking of or looking for something in the area, definitely give them a try, won’t be disappointed. Everyone working there is great, the owner is cool, it’s an experience going in there for sure. I grabbed my lunch take out but there are a few tables if you wanted to stay and eat.

Words cannot tell you just how awesome this place is. You MUST go and get something to eat here and let your mouth decide! This gem was recommended to me by a colleague and oh my, was I pleasantly surprised.
Owners and staff treated you like family and couldn’t be nicer. The place is small but well organized and very clean.
Everything I tried was incredible.
Their fresh bread and fresh mozzarella take the first price trophy. The bread is lightly crunchy with beautiful texture and taste. The mozzarella was warm, just made, and so very creamy. If you have just those two items, you’ll be back.
However, had their fresh sausage which had wonderful flavor. Eggplant cutlet was thin, flavorful, not greasy. Excellent sandwiches… bought about 5 different ones for a luncheon at work and they were incredible.
If you like spicy, the stuffed hot peppers will delight you.
Also had the almond cookies and fudge brownies… better than you could hope for.
Only bummed because it’s close and I really don’t need food this good in my diet!! Lolol… well done, Mana Rao’s… well done.

Such a great experience at Mama Rao’s. The pasta was fresh, the flavors were bold, and the service was so welcoming. It feels like eating at a family friend’s home. Highly recommend for anyone craving comfort food.

I ordered the “caprese” sub, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The mozzarella was fresh, the roasted red peppers were perfection, touch of balsamic glaze, and the chicken cutlet was out of this world. I felt like I was on Bloomfield Ave. in Newark, can’t beat this place. A gem in East Hanover, NJ.
