Mangialardo's — Restaurant in Washington

Well I heard of Mangialardos & Sons Inc. A while ago through social media. My husband and I decided to stop by at this deli to order our subs before we started to walk around Washington DC.

At first it was really hard to find parking, on top of that we saw some constructions going on around the area.

After driving around we found parking, and we walked to Mangialardos. The place is really small but just big enough to order and go.

I knew that I wanted the 'G Man Sub' this one is highly recommended among other customers and social media posts.

My husband ordered the 'Roast Beef and Cheese' sandwich.

In my opinion the service is average and the guy didn't seem to have much patience when asking questions. It was our first time there and we came from Virginia to try this place out. Since I lived in NYC for over a decade I was familiar with subs.

I took some photos of the place though there's nothing interesting about the interior. A bunch of boxes of supplies in one corner, customers have to stand waiting for the orders. Not even a little bench to sit and wait, let alone eat.

You pay the cashier briefly, zip in and zip out. I know it's old-school, family-owned Italian shop that has been in this location since 1953.

In my opinion the sandwiches are average for the price. My husband didn't feel he got a value for what either of us paid; esp the roast beef sandwich is much too small and there's nothing on it besides a little cheese and a few peppers.

My 'G Man' sub wasn't as tasty as it could be. Maybe for those customers around the area the sandwiches are good and better than nothing. But for someone who is familiar with authentic Italian and gourmet sandwiches from NYC, one will notice the difference with disappointment.

It's not worth the trip and the hours are horrible from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm closing...

I just ordered a turkey and cheese sub on a hard roll! I am so disappointed of the sub I received! If you ever had a sub from Mangialardo's you know they are known for serving generous portions of meat on their subs! This was unlike any sub I had from there before! The meat was such a small amount you barely could see it between the sub roll. It was just thrown together! I have a cousin that lives next door to the location and sent him pictures. He went next door and showed the manager pictures. I asked is this how the subs are made now. The manager responded this is how we always made our subs 4 ounces of turkey! Remind you I been eating there for over 30 years and never had such a skimp sub! Like I said if you been there before you know! Therefore I would've rather heard him say that's the way we make subs now with 4 ounces of turkey! But instead he lied unless the scale need to be calibrated! Lol well they just lost a life long customer and I'm sure they will lose more! Gallo's Italian Grocery and Carryout here I come! 6342 Marlboro Pike District Heights MD. 20747. I will recommend this sub shop to anyone who still want continued great service and good food! I was there a week ago amd they still give generous portions of meat! On my next visit there I'll be sure to come back to this page and post a picture of the sub I get from there then you can see the comparison!! SMH so disappointed with Mangialardo's! Oh and they only received 1 star...

I have been patronizing this business for decades. I visited yesterday (12/16/2021) I was the last walk-in Customer. Drove quite away to satisfy my craving. Knowing I would probably not make it in time because they close at 3PM. I chanced it anyway. Bad idea. My order was completely incorrect. I could have dealt with the order mistake however there was something that was just inedible on my sub. I also, did not like the fact the man at the cashier turned around a Senior couple who walked to the door 45 seconds after me. The husband explained that him and his wife had caught the bus there and they come there all the time and wanted to purchase two sandwiches. They was willing to pay extra for it too. Being the owner he should have let them in. YES, he should have. They are older people who do not know anything about an online order and the fact that they too patronage the business and caught the bus - that should have been a "No Brainer". Saying all this to say watch the businesses your spending your money with. Just like I would never visit again I hope the same for that couple. I started to take my sandwich back today 12/17/2021 to retrieve a full refund in the amount of $11.88, but said it's OK.

Side Note: I have been asking them for years why they don't have condiments available on the side EX: Mayo? They make to much revenue not to listen to customers feedback. I am sure the clear cups/tops will not hurt...
