In Full Transparency, this review would be 3.5 stars if I had that option, but that's by no means a dig on this nice little spot to get some good local food at great prices.
Came here before a concert at XFinity based on Yelp reviews. Provalone's is a very unpretentious little spot with a big menu, great prices and friendly service. Also, surprisingly fresh, quality and tasty food for what you might expect from the outside. Definitely a book that can't be judged by its cover.
This is primarily a takeout spot and catering service. While we were sitting and enjoying our dinner they were loading up a large catering order for a customer and several people came and left with good sized orders. Clearly the locals enjoy it here.
I went with the chicken parm sandwich. I expected a fried, formerly frozen patty and mediocre sauce Inna roll. What I got (for a very reasonable price) was real chicken breast, clearly hand breaded and fried, with a chunky, fresh, tasty sauce that ended up being a bit watery when put up against the cold provolone in the roll and made everything a bit uncomfortably soggy and messy. This may have been alleviated by baking the sandwich a bit before serving.
Sandwiches come in one size here, which is a 12-in grinder.
I would have ordered a slice as well, but the pizza in the case seemed to be pretty old and needed a refresh to be appealing.
There is a very large menu, including pasta platters that include penne, ravioli or tortellini with meatballs, real veal or chicken. That's unusual for a takeout place with just a couple of tables. But it was among the many very pleasant surprises here.
Good food, great prices and friendly service at a nice local spot with great menu variety. If you're nearby, I would definitely recommend giving...
Read moreI just had one of the most expertly and delicately prepared Italian subs in years at Provolone kitchen. I wish I had taken a picture of it but alas, I was starving and just didn't have the patience. It was the perfect Italian sub not because it was gigantic and over stuffed with meat but because it was properly portioned and balanced between meats, dressings, lettuce, tomato, onions, hots and all the fixins. A+ for presentation and flavor. Bread was just right and the right size. Their pizzas looked awesome too, but I'll have to try that next time. Looking forward to...
