“Where do you want to eat?” I ask my daughter-in-law. If I don’t have a craving, she usually has one, so I know she’s going to come up with something great.
“Well,” she says, “If I could eat anything in the world I want right now, it would be a Montesano Brothers HOT ROAST BEEF dipped in au jus with house provolone & horseradish cream.”
DONE. Now, you want one, don’t you?
What a cool place this Montesano Brothers is! The things that are important here are what you notice. There are family pictures all over. The fresh meats, cheeses, salads and coffee that they serve are proudly displayed and smell so good. While you wait just a few minutes for your freshly made sandwich, you can browse through the flyers and boards advertising special events like the Titanic Dinner and the Cooking Classes.
So we order a roast beef (7.99) and an Italian Hoagie (6.99). The roll can make a good hoagie bad, or a bad hoagie passable - the rolls Montesano serves are perfect and available to purchase, loose.There are no size options, which is fine, really. If you just want a massive cold bologna and cheese missile to shove in your mouth, go to Wawa. You are going to want to save room for the fresh filled cannoli (2.99), old fashioned Tiramisu (4.99) or maybe some New York Style cheesecake (4.99).
Montesano Brothers also does catering and Pig Roasts. How many times have you asked who does one, really? For me, this question comes up annually. So now you know. Love to hear comments from people who have had one
The menu includes breakfast sandwiches, hot sandwiches, soups, salads, panini, Illy coffee, cappucino, lattes and espresso, and sodas. The deli has imported Italian foods and drinks.
YMMMMY (out of a possible YMMMMMY)
Bring: Cash and credit/debit cards accepted.
Directions: Montesano’s is off Park Road about 1/4 mile from the traffic light at Little Conestoga. Make an immediate right onto Seabolt Drive. They are the brick building behind Eagle Eye Associates’ gray and white building. WORTH THE TRIP.
Very satisfying meal around 15.00 each.
Family Friendly with tables to eat in, or you can take out.
Casual Atmosphere, whatever you are wearing is fine.
Service was pleasant and efficient!
