Casa Della Mozzarella
Inside Casa Della Mozzarella
Casa Della Mozzarella sits in the heart of the Bronx as a no-frills Italian deli and grocery that doubles as a casual restaurant, a spot where locals come for authentic, hearty Italian sandwiches and fresh cheeses. This narrow, straightforward storefront hums a bit with old-school New York deli charm, the kind of place where the menu hangs prominently above the counter, casting a spotlight on carefully crafted paninis and fresh mozzarella offerings.
What stands out here is the quality and generosity of their sandwiches—think fresh mozzarella, spicy capicolla, provolone, marinated vegetables, and sundried peppers nestled inside crusty ciabatta or soft hero rolls. Many visitors mention the sandwiches are large enough to share, making it a practical stop for a quick, satisfying lunch or a relaxed mid-morning bite. The assembled ingredients carry that unmistakable Italian deli character, a balance of salty cured meats, tangy balsamic glaze, and creamy cheeses, making each sandwich feel substantial but never overdone.
The atmosphere inside is modest and conversational, with friendly, attentive staff who seem to genuinely enjoy recommending the perfect combo or sneaking in a sample of their house-pulled mozzarella. The shop’s size means it can fill up quickly, but mornings, especially early on Sundays, offer a quieter window with minimal wait.
Since Ciccarone Park is just around the corner, grabbing a sandwich to-go is a smart move for locals and visitors who want to enjoy their meal outdoors on a sunny day. This small green space complements Casa Della Mozzarella well, turning a simple Italian sandwich into a small urban picnic experience in the Bronx.

Best time to visit: Early mornings to avoid lines, or midday for a lively but friendly neighborhood vibe.
Atmosphere: Unpretentious, tucked-in, with a hint of old-world Italian deli hustle and a warm, approachable service style.
