Outstanding cheesesteak — tender ribeye, fried onions, and Cooper Sharp on a seeded roll. Small, family-run café with really kind people and great Philly-themed decor. The other sandwiches we saw coming out looked just as good. Highly recommend.

Cafe Merlino came highly recommended and they didn’t disappoint! The roast beef sandwich is INCREDIBLE. Truly, one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. We also got the Tipsy Chicken - the cutlets are perfectly fried and thin, and the homemade vodka sauce with the homemade mozzarella just took it to the next level. 11/10, you will not be disappointed!!

Ordered 2 sandwiches: Meatball alla vodkaand the chicken cutlet hoagie. Both were incredible. Some of best meatballs ever. Chicken cutlets were thin and crisp, perfectly cooked. The seeded roll was fresh, soft inside and crisp outside. Highly recommend
