Leo’s fresh mozzarella could make even the saddest Mets fan smile - Review - New York - The Infatuation
"If you’re a Mets fan, you should go to this Italian deli in Corona at least once a season before heading to Citi Field. It's been open since 1920, the walls have enough memorabilia to qualify as an exhibit in Cooperstown, and the shop makes their own fresh mozzarella and ricotta every day. photo credit: Will Hartman People come in knowing the daily hot specials, like chicken parm on Tuesdays and roast beef with gravy on Thursdays, and get them on scooped-out semolina wedges. But it’s the cold sandwiches that show off Leo's Latticini fresh cheese best. Get the Super Italian, loaded to the gills with prosciutto, soppressata, cappicola, and their homemade milky mozzarella. The people behind the counter will ask if you want lettuce and tomato, or oil and vinegar. But don't bog down your sandwich too much. We like ours with oil and balsamic for a pop of sweetness to match the mozz. photo credit: Will Hartman Food Rundown Super Italian The quintessential Italian combo, done Leo’s style with glorious fresh mozzarella. This sandwich is thick with high-quality cured meat, so don’t muddy it up with lettuce and tomato. This is our favorite sandwich here. photo credit: Will Hartman Chicken Parm Available as a Tuesday special, this chicken parm doesn’t care about being a thin-pounded cutlet with crispy edges. Instead, it’s decently thick, at about a half-inch, and sits in an acidic tomato sauce on a steam table. That homemade mozzarella takes it over the top. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Will Hartman
