Totally Rude & Inflexible

by Bkid at Citysearch

I have been eating at NY Italian Delis my whole life and I have never had such a horrible experience as I did at Manganaro Foods & Restaurant. The lady who was working there was unnecessarily rude from the minute I walked in. I asked them to make a basic chicken sandwich with roasted peppers and greens and she snapped "order off the menu only!" There were only three hot sandwiches on the menu?? What kind of NY

deli only has 3 options and won't customize? So I ordered a basic chicken parm and asked if she could put sauce on it and she said.."no only oil and vinegar on sandwiches!!" What?, who does this lady think she is??..I told her forget it..i'm leaving and she yelled "good go make it at home!" She was so obnoxious it was comical, and it's not like they had a good selection of food. Do yourself a favor and don't go here, visit the unrelated Manganaro's Heroboy next door, much better and friendlier.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Rude, Boring Menu, Etc...

Best food, fun and family

If you are in the area, this place is a must. The sandwiches are good, but the lasagna is off the charts. I was stuck at a Javits Center trade show and unfortunately only had two meals here.

• Pros: Great food and conversation
• Cons: You need to like great food and converstion.

Horrible Place

by cvawdrey at Citysearch

I went in the other day to buy cookies for friends. I was one of two customers in there. There is hardly any product on the shelves and the cookies were in boxes, not on trays, i.e. it looked like they were delivered and not baked on the premises. I asked the woman (apparently the same horrible daughter that everyone here has encountered) when the cookies were baked and if they are delivered. She ignored me and when I asked again said, "M'am, I'm not going to answer that." Absolutely rude and disgusting to a perfectly reasonable question that was asked with respect. Deserves to go out of business. I am forced to assign this place one star to get the review published. This place deserves negative a billion stars.
