There's a lot of lore about New York deli's and Todaro's is one of the few family run businesses that still is left. And what a gem it is.

From their simply delicious sandwiches made on nice chewy french breads, to their excellent potato salad, to-die-for buttermilk fried chicken, and their prime quality meats... there's a lot here to EAT!

My personal favorite are their salads. The leftovers from their expansive cheese section end up in the salad. So not only are you eating a 'goat cheese salad'. You're eating such a salad with a really amazing dollop of any of their varieties of goat cheese. Also did I mention the cheese guy there is NUTS (but in a good way?) I've never heard a man talk about cheese in such a loving way. Ask him a question sometime... :-)

Todaro's was a great place and staple of the community, providing delicious Italian food at affordable prices. I used to go after 9pm, when the sandwiches would be marked half off. As they close their doors tonight, I will miss Todaro's tasty food and friendly staff. Not enough places like Todaro's!

I had the Tortellini - it worked perfectly.

Yes I would go here again - they have a great menu!
I like the vegetable focus compared to other Italian restaurants I've been to

Great little restaurant tucked inside an Italian food store. There was only one server when we were then on a Sunday at lunchtime, but he was knowledgeable and friendly, and the food arrived in reasonable time.
The crab burger is highly recommended, although the waffles are clearly not a speciality here and were quite underwhelming, even the kids didn t enjoy them. That being said, waffles in an enoteca are never a smart idea.
Fantastic wine list and a few tap beers too.

First time I sat down for lunch in their cafe, very few other guests. Service was attentive without being overbearing, food was excellent (which I knew from taking out sandwiches in the past) price was reasonable for lunch in the area.

I have no idea how this has such high ratings. We ate here for lunch and it was one of the worst meals I have ever had in New York. The service was horrible and the food was cold. I complained and the waitress did not seem equipped to respond to a dissatisfied customer. The owner was actually in the dining room but also seemed disinterested in their customers dining experiences. 1 star is too generous for this experience.

It is a cute Italian grocery store near NYU Hospital. The best part about this little market is their deli sandwiches. They have great cold cut and cheese and their sandwiches are fresh and huge.

They also have a daily special, which is a steal for usually $6.

They also have these hot food sections during lunch hours and price is pretty fair.

I want to try their Italian coffee next time!

Very shocking! I went with my son today for a lunch and I am sure we will never come back. We were sitted and waiting to order when The waitress told us to leave our seat for an other spot in order for her to accommodate other customers who came while after us. It s not a JOKE. We felt insulted and plus the manager did nothing to solve the issue. He seemed not concerned at all. We left very disappointed that we were treated like nothing. My son and I were thinking may be it was due to our origine??

I went to the meat counter on a quiet afternoon looking for some cold cuts that I liked in Italy. The deli counter couldn't have been less helpful. I was also looking for good pecorino but they only had grated pecorino. My mom started going to Todaro in 1957 when she moved to New York from Rome. I've between going for years but I just can't recommend them anymore.

Awesome service. Small but very personal. Love, love their fascinating array of cheeses, absolutely heavenly. Their cakes are also pretty exceptional too. I usually buy fresh bagels and freshly made cream cheese on Friday evening, for breakfast on Saturday. Yum !
