John Amato, Jr. has taken over an old-school Jersey deli from his dad and uncles. John is the owner of Fiore’s House of Quality in Hoboken, an institution that’s been around since 1903. Fiore’s is known for its homemade mozzarella, as well as its Italian deli sandwiches featuring meats like mortadella, gabagool, and prosciutto. Staying true to his family’s original recipes, John’s philosophy is to keep things feeling like they did in the 50s: same recipes, same friendliness, and same vibes.

Thank god it’s not Melbourne Deli. Quality has gone down significantly there
You know you’re in New Jersey when you hear the word “mooz- ah- dell”

필리핀 여자를 아내로 맞이하고 가족의 일원으로서 받아 들인 것도 멋지고
자기 딸을 서양인 가족으로 보낸 것도 대단한 아버지네요.
I asked for a lb of oval spiced ham. They said we only have square but we can knock the corners off😅. That’s an old time deli joke. Fiore’s Deli is one of the best in the USA.
The story of his father isn’t just a “back then” issue. This is happening still, every day, mostly on our southern border. Just normal people searching for a better opportunity for them and their families. It’s a shame we look to one group so differently than another in our country.
Right, but Italians were discriminated against when they got to New York. Irish too.
They didnt get handouts. They learned the language and assimilated.
a few seconds of seeing jane and my first thought was, ” is she filipino?”. i like how i can sense if someone is filipino lol
Looks like a smokey haze all over.
I was a cop back in the early 60’s, every three weeks working the day shift and on one of those days, I’d look forward to having a sandwich for lunch from Fiore’s. I moved away some 50 years ago, but to this day I still remember and remark about the best sandwiches I’ve ever had were from the store. Almost all had that mozzarella on. They used to have homemade sausage like none other, too.
Is there an Artie Lange on the menu, I’ll take the Artie!
mutzadel 🥱
It’s not really New York if it’s in Jersey though…
Corned beef in an Italian deli sounds strange but it must be really good if they keep making it, I love these very old school shops
nothing funnier than a bullshit Italian story ” i dropped off a package at the airport for frank Sinatra in las vegans” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats a true story
nice
They butcher any Italian word they say lol
Im sure it’s great, there are lines and it looks awesome..but the title is misleading a bit. There’s a deli in nyc that is top dog..defontes brooklyn is #1
Ny doesn’t even have a michelin star. The title is a joke
Did you guys forget to color grade this? I feel like I. Watching in log.
