Looking For a Good Sub Shop in W. Orange Area

[hitmanoo]

I live in West Orange, and I'm hoping to find a local sub shop that really excels. Something along the line of Cosmos in Hackensack.

I know it's not close but if you are a sub "sangwich" fiend then you must get down to Lenny and John's on Bloomfield ave. in Bloomfield. Right next to Wendy's. I think they are closed on Mondays.

Truthfully, I have never had a sub that was fresher and tasted so good. The bread is to die for.

There is an Italian deli across the street from the Livingston post office on Rt 10 (Mt Pleasant Ave). It's a little house. Try their subs and let us know.

Rosie,

It's called Tutta Fresca and it's great. My favorite sandwich is their Balsamic chicken, broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella on homemade rolls. It's owned by Maria Cammorata, who may or may not also own Cammorata's pizza.

Tutto Fresca also has amazing mozzerella.

Ok, I just tried out Tutta Fresca in Livingston. I must admit, I had a little trouble finding the place, even though I knew it was across the street from the post office on Route 10. It really is a little house, very tiny indeed.

I decided to go with something basic, just to get a baseline. I had a sub with turkey breast and genoa salami, with lettuce, tomato, roasted red pepper and mustard. Not bad, not bad at all. I can't honestly say that it's on the level of Cosmo's but it was a pretty tasty sandwhich.

The bread was not too dense. It made for a nice foundation. The lettuce was of the shreaded variety. Too finely shreaded in my opinion. No complaints about the tomato slices, and the roasted red peppers hit the spot. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, but I wasn't a huge fan of their choice in brand of Salami. Maybe I'm too finicky when it comes to salami, but I know what I like. Didn't think to look for their particular brand at the time.

In all, the sandwhich was a B+. Not good enough to become my pre-Giants game sub of choice, but solid enough to be in the rotation. I'll have to go back and try other things.

For cheese fans, their mozzarella is supposedly top notch.

[Rosie]

Yes. The mozzarella is usually still warm when I buy it. Also like their roasted red peppers.

I'm tellin' ya hitmanoo. The subs at Lenny and John's in Bloomfield are incredible. I'd put them up against any place around. Definitely worth the pre-Football drive down. Give em a shot and let me know how you like them.

I'd have no problem giving Lenny and John's a shot. What is the location? Bloomfield is a big town.
