" This deli is a staple in our community. The eggplant is legendary, but honestly, every dish I've tried has been fantastic. They make everything from scratch, which you can taste in the quality. I appreciate their commitment to authentic Italian flavors. While they don't have dine-in seating, the take-out experience is unmatched. Perfect for a busy lifestyle where delicious food is needed quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not usually a fan of catering services as I often find them lacking, but Mattei's has changed my mind. The combo tray we ordered for our family gathering was a total crowd-pleaser, and every single person asked about where it was from. The eggplant takes the cake! I will definitely recommend them to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was unfortunately disappointed by my first visit. I had heard rave reviews but my sandwich was cold and lacked flavor. The service was polite but not very attentive. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but it didn’t meet the hype for me. I’ll give it another chance in the future, perhaps try something other than a sandwich. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't want to change a single thing about Mattei's! Everything from the homemade sauces to the quality of their ingredients speaks volumes. You can see why this deli has such a loyal following. Every time I've ordered catering, it has been nothing less than exceptional! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh, where do I even start? The freshness and flavor of the food here is unmatched. I got their special eggplant and a side of roasted vegetables, and I was transported back to Italy. If you’re looking for authentic Italian dishes that taste homemade, Mattei's is the place to go. It's small but has that cozy neighborhood feel. I’ve become a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty average experience the last time I came here. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which was good, but not mind-blowing. The service was alright; they seemed busy and a bit rushed. I think I expected so much from the hype. I might try something different next time since the lasagna looked great on other tables. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just ordered an assortment of their sandwiches and pasta salads for a work event. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Mattei's has this old-world charm that I love, although it can get crowded during lunch hours. The only downside is that they don't take reservations and seating is limited—but their food is absolutely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
